Opis

Sree Narayana Guru had a wider vision of social service which aimed at the comprehensive development of the individual and the society. He believed that human relations are very important. The path of generosity is broad and self-centred and the path of miserliness in narrow. A generous man should his fellow men and it would lead to a virtuous life. Such generosity is essential for the welfare of mankind. The Sivagiri became a centre of attraction with the arrival of Narayana Guru. After establishing his ashram at hill top he almost stayed permanently there. He named the place as "Sivagiri Kunnu"-the Hindu God Siva is believed to be in 'Kailas', the topmost spot of the universe. Siva being the favourite God of Guru, he naturally named hill in the name of Siva. Thus this place is known as Sivagiri.
