Minutes of the Library Inauguration at Evoor - M.
| MINUTES OF THE PROGRAM OPENING OF FRIENDS OF HUMANITY’S FIRST LIBRARY- ARIVUCHOLAI AT EVOOR VENUE: EVOOR DATE: 29.05.2010 There is a difference between the “standard of life” and “standard of living”. Standard of life deals with spiritual aspects and standard of living deals with materialistic aspects. While World religions preaches and guide for enrichment in standard of life, World around us drives us towards the standard of living. For upliftment in both the aspects, knowledge in every field is necessary. To gain knowledge on standard of life, one has to search for a Guru and to gain knowledge on standard of living, one has to equip themselves with their academic stream of studies. Whenever there is no situation for finding a Guru, to some extent, books can take the place of him. To gain the complete knowledge on academic stream of studies, one can search books for it. Hence for both the aspects, one can search books for help. Our organization has taken genuine steps in opening a knowledge bank – library with 500 books , in the name Arivucholai ( name suggested by Thiru Natarajan of Coimbatore) for the children and people of Evoor, a village in Trichy District.These books will help in other ways too for the children , which have been shared before itself.
