Seldom do we find a great spiritual leader who is also a successful
social reformer. Shree Narayana Guru was such a rare saint, who used
his spiritual attainments for the creation of a new man and a new
social order. He made an indelible impression on Rabindranath Tagore,
who has recorded his feelings thus: “I have been touring different
parts of the world. During these travels, I have had the good
fortune to come into contact with several saints and Maharshis. But
I have frankly to admit that I have never seen one who is
spiritually greater than Swami Narayana Guru of Malayalam-nay, a
person who is on a par with him in spiritual attainment. I am sure,
I shall never forget that radiant face illumined by the self
effulgent light of divine glory and those mystic eyes fixing their
gaze on a far remote point in the distant horizon.”

Shree Narayana Guru Vidhyalaya, Ahmedabad
"In
certain places when people requested the Guru to make a
temple for them, he advised them to have an school instead
of a temple and he built schools"
This simple sentence quoted from the life of Shree Narayana
Guru reveals what a school meant for him. He considered
schools to be on a par with temples.
