Our story
From a place of worship to a place of service
Mahant Shivbalak Upadhyay Ji established Shiv Shakti Kashi Dham in 2019 with the blessings of Maa Durga. He envisioned a place where spiritual practice would also become a source of hope and support for families in need.
The trust brings devotees and neighbours together through prayer, traditional gatherings and community welfare work. Its guiding thought is simple: service to humanity is service to the Divine.
Our vision
A compassionate community
We hope for a society where spirituality and humanity go hand in hand, every person is treated with dignity, and financial or social circumstances do not prevent a child or family from receiving support.
Education, respect for daughters, care for Gau Mata, food for those in need, and the preservation of Indian culture and traditions all form part of this vision.
Our mission
Faith in action
Our mission connects spiritual devotion with social responsibility. Through education support, Ann Seva, Gau Seva, marriage assistance and help in difficult times, the trust works to make compassion practical.
We also bring people together through Aarti, Bhajans, Kirtans, Yajnas, Havan and other spiritual activities.
