In this paper an effort has been done to understand how a rogue person, a tourist guide, Raju playing the central role in R. K. Narayan’s The Guide is transformed into a saint. The jailbird Raju, after his release from the jail, is mistaken for a spiritual guide and later made to sacrifice his life to save the lives of the whole nation. Raju’s life, his transformation into a sage from a rogue seems to correspond to the lives of many Indian mythical sages. This study attempts to show whether Narayan portrays Raju’s transformation in terms of the myth of spiritual saints in relation to the prevalent myths of India.
