T.K NARAYANAN

T.K. Narayanan  was an eminent orator, a social reformer, a journalist and an Editor. He lived during the time of Sree Narayana Guru the greatest social reformer of India. Guru belonged to an  Ezhava family in an era when people from such communities,  were regarded as subaltern, faced much social injustice in the caste-ridden society of Kerala. He, rejected casteism ,led a reform movement in Kerala against untouchability, and promoted new values of spiritual freedom and social equality. He stressed the need for the spiritual and social uplift of the downtrodden by their own efforts through the establishment of temples and educational institutions. In the process, he denounced the superstitions that clouded the fundamental Hindu cultural convention of caste.

The aforesaid editor T.K. Narayanan  was very active in social reform movement in Kerala and  was also a true disciple  of the Great Guru. In 1915  T.K. Narayanan  started a newspaper titled Desabhimani and he became  the  founder editor of the samr. In 1921 T.K. Narayanan   published a biography  of Sree Narayana Guru which was first in its kind, ever before  poet  Kumaran Asan and subsequent writers followed suit.

In the prologue of the biography Editor T.K. Narayanan   wrote that he had also written a biography of Sri. Vivekananda Swamikal in 1911. He also accentuated that no one else had ever published such a biography of Guru in between the  year 1911 and 1921 except him. The editor viewed  unparallel sanctity in his Guru much more  than swami Vivekanada.

Mr.K.N BAL is the youngest son of Editor, T.K. Narayanan   who was in the  Indian Police Service. He had been medaled by the President of India for his meritorious services. Mr.Bal IPS is in search of both the two biographies written by his great father which is unfortunately out of print now. He appeals to the readers to show him a copy of the books if possible and invites healthy debate on his fathers view on the greater sanctity of Guru than Swami Vivekanada with out bringing any controversy
