 | | The popular picture of Narayana Guru as messiah to a community is given substance by continuing generations of Ezhavas (among who the Guru had his physical birth) insisting on seeing him as their deliverer. |
 | | It is this Narayana Guru (much like Vivekananda in another, though no less limited, context) who is carried aloft on flags and posters at rallies and marches of the SNDP (an active caste based contender to political power in Kerala, by whose influence the caste name "Ezhava" comes to alternate in use with "Sri Narayaneeyar"). |
 | | Narayana Guru, the silent mystic, who recognises and is recognised as a kindred spirit by Ramana Maharshi, appears in the words and thought of his disciples; it is he who imparts the last lesson in Vedanta to his disciple and successor "Thambi"- P.Natarajan, later Nataraja Guru - through a refusal to speak. |
