Shanti Sewa Trust
Guided by Swami Shashwat Ji in Rishikesh, the Trust supports education, healthcare, environmental initiatives, and offers daily meditation and satsang for spiritual seekers.
Shanti Sewa Trust, guided by Swami Shashwat Ji, is devoted to seva and follows a traditional, non-institutional approach to spiritual life. Swamiji resides at Aatm Darshan Kutir, a simple spiritual space in Upper Tapovan, Rishikesh, offering a peaceful environment of simplicity, discipline, and inner reflection for sincere seekers.
Since 2013, the Trust has been engaged in seva wherever there is need, for the well-being of both humanity and the environment. Its work includes support in education, such as helping underprivileged families with their children’s schooling and providing necessary school materials, as well as assistance in healthcare for those in need. The Trust also carries out tree-planting and other environmental initiatives to promote ecological balance.
Alongside these efforts, daily meditation and satsang are offered to spiritual seekers, forming the heart of the Trust’s work. Swamiji believes that inner peace is the birthright of every human being, and the Trust’s activities reflect this vision in every action.
August 2026 — Flood Relief in Assam
Recent floods in Assam have caused extensive damage in many villages, flooding homes, destroying personal belongings and leaving numerous families without the basic necessities of daily life. As the waters recede, many are faced with the difficult task of returning to damaged homes and rebuilding their everyday lives.
In response to this calamity, Shanti Sewa Trust has provided affected families with essential items, including mattresses, utensils, mosquito nets and mosquito repellents. Yogi Arunananda Muni, a devotee associated with the Trust, personally visited the affected families to distribute these supplies and offer support on the ground.
These basic necessities provide immediate assistance to families recovering from the floods, while mosquito nets and repellents are particularly important in areas affected by stagnant water and the resulting increase in mosquitoes. Through this relief work, Shanti Sewa Trust continues its commitment to seva—providing practical help wherever there is need.
Serving Where There Is Need
On January 10th and January 22nd, 2026, Shanti Sewa Trust donated two wheelchairs to Haridwar Railway Station and to Yoganagari Rishikesh Railway Station respectively for public use.
These wheelchairs are intended to assist elderly people, persons with disabilities, pregnant women, and anyone experiencing difficulty in walking, helping them access railway platforms and trains with greater ease and dignity. Through such actions, the Trust ensures Swamiji's commitment to practical seva wherever there is need.
