My mother's family (kudumbam) is supposed to be that of Sri Narayana Guru. They have a kudumba kshetram (family temple) close to Chempazhanthy. I think it is called Elanjikkal Devi kshetram.
Irrespective of whether that is fact or fiction...
The Guru would not have objected to any intelligent thought. That is why he was a great teacher.
