Serving Society Through Spirituality, Education & Healthcare

Shree Ma Katyani Gyan Karta Ashram Trust was established in 2013 with the vision of serving society through spirituality, education, and healthcare. Located in Rishikesh, the ashram is home to the sacred Maa Katyani Mandir, where devotees gather for worship and spiritual activities. Guided by the principle of selfless service, the trust has continuously worked towards the welfare of the community.

The trust is registered under the Shree Ma Katyani Gyan Karta Ashram Trust. The organization was established by Mr. Gurvindur Saluja, along with other devoted trustees who have been actively serving since its inception in 2013. Before dedicating himself to social and spiritual service, Mr. Saluja was a successful businessman. Today, he and the trustees devote their efforts to the development and operation of the ashram and its charitable initiatives.

Sustainable Selfless Model

The trust's primary source of income is the accommodation provided at the ashram. While donations support its activities, they are not always consistent. To ensure the uninterrupted functioning of the trust's social welfare programs, the trustees personally contribute towards operational expenses whenever required.
