The '''Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam''' ('''SNDP''') is an Indian charitable society.<br />
<br />
== Mission ==<br />
SNDP works for the educational betterment of the socially and educationally underprivileged people and for the social development of the all.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
SNDP was founded in 1903 by Dr. [[Padmanabhan Palpu]] with the guidance and blessings of [[Sree Narayana Guru]]. SNDP was the first organization to envisage [[Kerala]] as a whole<br />
<br />
Vavoottu Yogam expanded and formed an organization known as Aruvippuram Kshetra Yogam. The Aruvippuram Temple Society: known as Vavoottu Yogam emerged in 1888. <br />
<br />
During the 1890s, the caste system in Kerala had the concept of [[Dalit|untouchables]]. Padmanabhan Palpu, better known as Dr. Palpu, started working towards ensuring the rights of the then identified backward communities. With the 1891 Malayali Memorial Revolt, he took the leadership of the then oppressed community named Ezhava; and attempted to begin an organization called Ezhava Sabha. In 1896, he created the organizations' by-laws and published the law in Malayali, a newspaper published from Thankussery. He organized a few meetings at Paravur and Mayyanad, before the movement failed.<br />
<br />
On January 7, 1903, a special meeting of Aruvippuram Kshetra Yogam was conducted. They decided to enlarge the organization to support the progress of Ezhavas both religiously and materially. Thus, on May 15, 1903, with Narayana Guru as its president, Aruvippuram Kshetra Yogam was registered as Aruvippuram Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam according to the Indian Companies Act, No.6, 1882.<br />
<br />
The deity at the Sree Bhavaneeswara temple, Lord [[Shiva]], was consecrated by [[Sree Narayana Guru]] on March 8, 1916 (24-07-1091 M.E.). After the ceremony, Gurudevan laid the foundation stone for the Lower Primary School under the SNDP.<br />
<br />
== Bhavaneeswara Temple ==<br />
The main institution under the SNDP is the [[Sree Bhavaneeswara Temple]] (''Mahakshetram''). <br />
