About Us
History
वासुदेव कुटुंबकम के लिए प्रति दिन अविरल, निर्मल, निश्चल कर्म आहुति हेतु कर्तव्यबद्ध समर्पण।
Rishikesh Ganga Aarti Trust draws inspiration from the profound teachings of ancient scriptures that emphasize the duty of individuals and communities to serve the welfare of all living beings irrespective of religion, caste, creed or beliefs. Our mission is deeply rooted in the ethos of dharma, as outlined in texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and Manusmriti, which guide us towards selfless service, compassion, and inclusivity.
In the spirit of the Bhagavad Gita’s teachings on duty (dharma), we recognize our responsibility to the greater family of Vasudha (Earth). Just as Lord Krishna emphasizes performing one’s duties without attachment to the results, RGA is committed to daily unwavering, pure, and steadfast service for the upliftment of humanity.
Our commitment to serving all, irrespective of religion, caste, color, or race, is echoed in the Rigveda’s hymn “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” emphasizing the world as one family. RGA was conceptualized by a diverse group of youth, inspired by the vision of a harmonious world where everyone has equal access to opportunities and resources.
The initiation of the World’s First Mahila (Women’s) Ganga Aarti/Pooja echoes the reverence given to women in ancient scriptures. Just as the Rigveda acknowledges the essential role of women in society, we strive to empower and uplift women, ensuring their dignity and well-being.
Our charity work, including Covid Relief, Widows Help, Health Camps, and Youth Awakening initiatives, aligns with the principles of seva (selfless service) found in Hindu scriptures. The Manusmriti emphasizes the duty of individuals to assist those in need, and at RGA, we translate these principles into action by providing essential support to the vulnerable sections of society.
As we embark on this journey, guided by the wisdom of ancient scriptures, Rishikesh Ganga Aarti invites you to join hands with us in fostering a world where the lamp of hope burns bright for every individual.
