Abstract
The neo-moral values and the anti-caste concepts Sree Narayana Guru had proposed had made Kerala walk to a new cultural space. After the decline of Buddhism and until the arrival of Narayana Guru’s neo-moral fundamentals and values, the righteousness in the Kerala society was that of the fundamental values which existed within the boundaries of the caste system, and the piety was to uphold the caste system. Social interference Guru had made in the caste system, religion, Gods, mixed feast, mixed marriage, abolition of liquor, education, organization and so on was influenced by many factors such as the Christian missionaries, Advaita philosophy and so on, in which it needs to be analyzed whether any one philosophy had its influence more on his activities of social transformation than the others. Narayana Guru had made his stand on related social issues clear through his poems, which are known also as belonging to the instructive genre of poems. This article takes into consideration those poems as the main source of the study.
