| | Antharjana Samaajam |
 | | Along with the revolutionary activities of the "Yogakshema Sabha" (Click here), the "Antahrjanams" (women of the Namboothiri community) came out of their traditional veils ("Ghosha") and began to wake up to the needs for a social change, under the leadership of Parvathy Nenminimangalam, Parvathy Nilayangod, Parvathy Manazhi, Arya Pallam, Neeli Mangalass and Lalithambika Antharjanam. |
 | | Although a couple of Antharjana Samaajams were then organised under the leadership of Arya Pallam and others, what gave birth to the present Samaajam was the one that congregated in Namboothiri Vidyaalayam at Thrissur in 1939. |
 | | The Samaajam was rejuvenated during 1945 when the Yogakshema Sabha met under the leadership of E M S Namboodiripad, and subsequently held a meeting at Paarakkunnam Mana at Thrissur in 1947. |
