1. LATEST ADDITIONS TO MAHATMA GANDHI UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
Chattampi Swami: An Intellectual Biography
By R Raman Nair and L Sulochana Devi
Chattampi Swami (1853-1924) was a unique social and religious
reformer. His thoughts and work influenced the launching of many
social, religious, literary and political organizations and movements
in Kerala and for the first time gave voice to those who were
marginalized. This book is an attempt to understand how the
universe of his thought was shaped, how he elevated himself from
the ordinary man to a scholar and reformer extraordinary, what
values emerge as we study the course of his life, what relation these
values have to the life of the common people, what his teaching is,
and how much of it is timeless and eternal. The book covers the life
of Sree Narayana Guru and his and association with Swami, the
unusual friendship of that time which influenced the course of future
Kerala History. Chattampi Swami: Intellectual Biography adds
new dimensions to our understanding of the extraordinary figure of
the late nineteenth century renaissance in India who made
knowledge and spirituality integral to the social and democratic
endeavor. Documenting the aspects neglected by earlier
biographers the authors make a remarkable contribution to our
understanding of the man behind the myth. Trivandrum, Centre for
