I strongly condemn the heinous act of portraying the crucifixion of Sree Narayana Guru in a tableau during a pageant held on Krishna Janmashtami by CPI(M) workers in Kerala, and covey my strong protest.
It is a known fact to every learned person in Kerala that the socio-religious reformation and economic reconstruction implemented with the efforts and guidance of the Great Guru initiated through the Aruvippuram Prathishta way back in 1888 that made a fertile ground for germination of communism in Kerala. This is also a truth that the believers and followers of the Guru are the core strength of Left Parties in Kerala.
Sree Narayana Guru was the Saint who stood and worked for universal brotherhood and a world society with out the discrimination on the basis of religion, caste, geographical or economical boundaries. It was He who worked for optimisation of spiritual and materialistic enrichment for a qualitative human life. Every ISM pauses short before the philosophy of the Guru.
Without realising the depth of Sree Narayana Guru philosophy and its present relevance, if Left Parties tend to work against the respect and faith towards The Great Saint and Social reformer Sree Narayana Guru under any political compulsion or threat, they should bear in mind that the followers of Guru having any political affiliation will neither support them nor forgive them.
I believe that it is the responsibility of each and every Sree Narayana Guru organisations working any where in the world should rise to the occasion and strongly condemn the heinous act of CPI(M) workers and protest it.
