Vaikunda Swamikal and Samathwa Samajam

• Vaikunda Swamikal (1809-1851), also known as Sri Vaikunda Swami or Ayya Vaikundar, was a prominent social reformer and spiritual leader from the 19th-century princely state of Travancore (parts of present-day Kerala and Tamil Nadu). He is often regarded as one of the earliest social reformers in India.
