Shri Shiv Shankar Teerth Yatra is a name synonymous with devotion, service, and safety. It was founded in the 1960s by Shri Shivcharan Lal Agrawal Ji, whose life is a story of a humble beginning leading to an extraordinary spiritual journey.
Shivcharan Ji started his life in Hindaun, Rajasthan. Although not highly educated, he was deeply rooted in values. His father was religious and believed in social service.
In 1960, Shivcharan Ji moved to Rishikesh with his wife and children. There, he began selling beads and religious books near Lakshman Jhula. Life began in a small room, and when even that wasn't available, he would sleep under a tree. These struggles later laid the foundation for his success.
Gradually, he expanded the business of religious books and in 1963 started a stall near the railway station. Carrying 20–30 kg of books on his shoulders daily to the station became his routine.
In 1967, he organized his first pilgrimage by train. Though economic hardships halted the journeys initially, in 1980, with the support of Swami Vadvyasanand Ji, he once again organized a train yatra and took on the role of manager.
After receiving support from Delhi businessman Shri Bhagwan Das Goyal Ji, the work resumed permanently. Today, Shri Shiv Shankar Teerth Yatra Group is a respected organization that has taken over 2 lakh pilgrims in 62 years to India’s holy sites.
In every journey, we prioritize safety, health, and a pleasant experience for all pilgrims. Experienced managers, trained staff, and a well-structured itinerary ensure a fulfilling experience.
