He along with others like him were responsible for reviving and reforming native traditions and religions such as Hinduism that had come under long period of dormancy and attack during the previous 500 years of colonial rule by various European powers. He was influential in creating a period of intense religious transformation amongst Tamils in India and Sri Lanka. He is regarded as the father of modern Tamil prose and a defender of Saivism (a sect of Hinduism) against Christian missionary activity. He also attempted to reform Saivism itself. He has been also criticized for limitations of his reforms because his reforms favored the elite castes at the expense of others."@en ; rdfs:comment "Arumuka Navalar was the first revivalist of native traditions in Sri Lanka.

Dennis Hudson (1939-2007) was a Professor of World Religions at the Department of Religion, Smith College at SUNY. He taught religious history of India and South Asian religious literature in translation. His research interests focused on the Tamil speaking peoples of South Asia from their earliest appearance to the present, with special attention to two period: the 8th-9th century period of Alvar and Nayanar and the 18th-19th century period of interaction between Christians, Hindus, and Muslims, notably between the Protestants and Hindus. His detailed study of Arumuka Navalar is an attempt at understanding the Tamil Hindu reaction to an intrusive Protestant worldview in the 18-19th century period."@en , "DDH"@en ; dbpprop:nationality dbpedia:Sri_Lanka ; dbpprop:lang "ta"@en ; dbpprop:birthPlace dbpedia:Jaffna_District , dbpedia:Nallur , dbpedia:Sri_Lanka ; dbpprop:deathPlace dbpedia:Jaffna , dbpedia:Sri_Lanka ; dbpprop:birthName "Kandar Arumugam Pillai"@en ; dbpprop:seeProperty "Hindu revivalism in Sri Lanka"@en , "Hinduism in Sri Lanka"@en ; dbpprop:education dbpedia:Pandit , dbpedia:Tamil_language ; dbpprop:deathCause "General illness"@en ; dbpprop:trans "\u0101\u1E5Fumuka n\u0101valar"@en ; dbpprop:indic "\u0B86\u0BB1\u0BC1\u0BAE\u0BC1\u0B95 \u0BA8\u0BBE\u0BB5\u0BB2\u0BB0\u0BCD"@en ; dbpprop:dateOfBirth "December 18, 1822"@en ; dbpprop:dateOfDeath "December 5, 1879"@en ; dbpprop:religion dbpedia:Hindu ; dbpprop:knownFor dbpedia:Reformer , dbpedia:Hindu . @prefix ns15: . dbpedia:Arumuka_Navalar dbpprop:hasPhotoCollection ns15:Arumuka_Navalar . dbpedia:Arumuga_Navalar dbpprop:redirect dbpedia:Arumuka_Navalar . dbpedia:Arumuha_Navalar dbpprop:redirect dbpedia:Arumuka_Navalar . dbpedia:Arumuka_navalar dbpprop:redirect dbpedia:Arumuka_Navalar . @prefix yago: . yago:Arumuka_Navalar owl:sameAs dbpedia:Arumuka_Navalar .
