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 adds new dimensions to our understanding of the
extraordinary figure of the late nineteenth century renaissance in India. The
authors make a remarkable contribution to our understanding of the man behind
the myth. The book can serve as a reader for those who wish to study the
history of renaissance in Kerala.
