Vaikunta swamikal

  • He was one of the earlier social reformers in Kerala, born at Shastamkoyil in Kanyakumari.

  • Began the practice of inter-dining (Samapanthibhojanam).

  • Raised voice against the evil custom of preventing lower caste women from wearing upper cloth & protested against the prohibition on temple entry.
