Vallathol Narayana Menon (1878-1958)

Famous works [Achanum Makalum, Ente Gurunathan, Shishyanum Makanum, Magdlena Mariyam...]


Nationalist poet and,

Poems for the nation,

Swimming against the flow,

Against the class divisions,

Against the rotten customs,

The nation's poet and Congress poet.


In Guruvayoor's struggle and Vaikom,

Searched for the truth of freedom,

To sing the song of Bharath in pride.

To sing the song of Kerala from the soul.

In search of truth, he found Gandhi.

Found world in Gandhi,

Found Guru in Gandhi


Elevated art of Koodiyattam;

He made the art of the world.

Foundation of Kalamandalam,

To the art of Kathakali.

In all religions, the views of hope,

Singing prayers to mother, said the poet,

While deaf, the poet transformed-

To an elegy of the deaf.
