He was also a member of the Indian National Congress. It wasn’t until the late 1940s that he gave up the scepticism he had previously had and accepted the Hindu faith along with a life of spiritual leadership as a result of his conversion. Balakrishna Menon was raised in Kerala, India, as the son of Paru Kutty and the judge Kutta Menon. He was given the name Balakrishna Menon when he was born.
