• Dinesh Shahra Foundation (DSF) joined hands in a special award function at Parmarth Vidyamandir 

• The ritual honored education, empowerment, and values 

• Parmarth Vidyamandir is administered by the Divine Shakti Foundation 

It was a privilege for Dinesh Shahra Foundation (DSF) to join a truly unique award night at Parmarth Vidyamandir—the school under the wings of Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati guided by Divine Shakti Foundation—in the tradition of joyful celebration of learning and empowerment values and those of spirituality too. 

Continuing its cause of promoting overall development through education, empowerment, and green initiatives, DSF has awarded scholarships to deserving students and recognized accomplished women achievers. The activity has been in continuation of DSF's long-standing support for the Divine Shakti School, providing value-based education to poor women and children in Rishikesh. 

HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, President of Parmarth Niketan, blessed the event and spoke about the power of change through service imbued with cultural and spiritual values. "When seva is accompanied by sanskar, it is a powerful force for transformation," he said, applauding DSF's work as a living manifestation of these values. 

DSF founder Dr. Dinesh Shahra began the event with a prayer to the Divine Feminine as a respect for Shakti as inner power, compassion, and creativity. "Every project at DSF—whatever it is in terms of education, empowerment, or green care—is an ode to awakening the divine within. Success is just harnessing that inner power to lift others up," he said. 

The service also comprised an ‘Annadana’ by DSF, providing hot food to students, saints, and visitors, as a symbol of love and service to the world. There was a moment of silence in memory of the victims of the recent Pahalgam attack in Kashmir and prayers for peace and healing. 

With the blessings of Pujya Muniji and divine guidance, the Dinesh Shahra Foundation continues its journey of service, planting seeds of wisdom, compassion, and sustainability for an enlightened future and a brighter tomorrow.
