YugaPurushan - Sree Narayana Guru

Post Page Rank

I had always thought of Sree Narayana Guru as a local leader and someone who belonged only to the Ezhavas. Atleast that was the image I was supposed to have about him by the SNDP and its leaders. But it all changed when I met with R Sukumar who is now making a movie about Sree Narayana Guru.

We always tend to underestimate anyone who is close to us. We thing of Nelson Mandela as a great person. Gandhiji gave us independence. Martin Luther King is a legend. But I never knew that this local guru, whose followers I grew up with, is a man who has more impact on the life that I live now than any other leader.

Its really sad to see this great person locked in a mirror cage, dragged into every political controversy, used to divide the very own people he fought for and used as a symbol of something he preached to abolish.

After having a 2 hour chat with the R Sukumar, the director of YugaPurushan, all my views about the guru and the SNDP changed forever. The man has been doing research for the last 15 years for this movie with total dedication, just for this movie. I can now say with total conviction that this man knows more about the guru than any other historian or so called SNDP leaders.

The movie which is expected to start shooting by the end of this year will tell an insiring tale of how this one person created history and changed the lives of million forever. The entire preproduction work for the movie is complete with a storyboard that consists of over 2000 hand drawn images.

Lets wait for the movie….
