Gyankunj Library

In memory of our ancient library "Gyan Kunj Library," which houses the largest collection of rare and ancient texts.

1. How is this library related to India's Golden Era?
   We have heard that India was once called the Golden Era. This name was not only due to wealth and prosperity but also because of the vast knowledge and wisdom we had during those times. This knowledge was a result of ancient texts written by sages in a pure language with selfless intent. For over 500 years, we lost these, and they were targets of major invasions. When these ancient manuscripts became inherited by Indians, some holders were unaware of their meanings, and printing ceased long ago. Thus, they symbolize peace and have become history over time. In this way, the library is connected and contributing to the "return of India's Golden Era."
2. Why is this library necessary?
   Although the loss of these valuable ancient texts cannot be fully compensated, if we do not preserve these great texts, we will fall behind. Guruji established the Gyan Kunj Library to revive this situation. Its main aim is to collect rare and ancient texts.
3. What did Guruji do for the construction of this library?
   Guruji dedicated 12 years to extensive research. He traveled across the country to discover our ancient texts, which required significant time and funds. With Guruji's love, energy, and dedication, the library continued to grow with each book.
4. What is the current status of the library?
   Our goal is to systematically organize this collection profitably, with a good collection of highly valuable and rare texts. We have also gathered photographic copies of rare manuscripts.
5. What is the future goal of this library?
   Our goal is to transform this library into the largest and most extensive collection of ancient texts. We aim to make this treasure available to those who seek it and continue searching for rare texts in the future.
6. How can people help in the development of this library?
   Support from people is crucial to completing the library. They can help in the following ways:
   • Donate any ancient texts or manuscripts they might possess.
   • Volunteer to help search for these manuscripts.
   • Provide information about sources of texts to the library.
   • Those who have gained knowledge from the library should keep history alive, understanding ancient times, how we deviated, and apply the principles taught by these texts in daily life.
   When the library reaches its peak, contributions in the form of funds will ensure the success of this project.

By establishing this library, we are exchanging both ancient and modern knowledge.
