Atmopadesa Śatakam

It is considered as the classic work of Narayana Guru, who was a social reformer and spiritual leader of Kerala, India.

"Atmopadesa Śatakam" contained 100 verses or stanzas, each describing a set of actions performed by the self on itself, affecting and recognising moments of transformation into an absolute value.

[1] Narayana's principal disciple, Nataraja Guru, translated this work into English, titled as "Centiloquy of the self".

This work is presented before a group of people at Aruvippuram, as a practice text written into form of advice who followed Narayana Guru.

But in this work, he directly describes the ways of attaining self-realisation with a philosophical context and stresses seeking the absolute value called "Self" or "the Atman" and not any God to adore as hitherto.
