हमारे कार्य के पाँच स्तंभ
Shivhari Dharma Foundation Trust works across five dimensions of human welfare — each a commitment to transforming lives in the service of society with dignity and compassion.
The Trust believes that access to quality healthcare is not a privilege — it is a fundamental right. Through Jaitrinath Arogya Sansthan and a range of outreach programmes, we are working to bring compassionate, dignified medical care to all, with special focus on those who have been left behind.
Our healthcare work is guided by the principle that every human being — regardless of economic standing, caste or religion — deserves to be treated with respect and given the best possible care.
Proposed Structure · Work in Progress"No one should suffer because they cannot afford care — this is the covenant of the Trust."
— Trust Motto · Seva Parmo DharmaThe Trust promotes yoga as a path to a healthy body and a peaceful mind. Through our trustee Nutan Thakur and her initiative Yogabhyaas, we hold regular sessions and yoga education for the community — bringing the traditional practice of yoga to people of every age, grounded in a modern, scientific understanding.

Trustee · Certified Yoga & Wellness Coach
Nutan began as a dedicated personal practitioner and grew curious about the science behind yoga — a path that led her to formal training in both practising and teaching. She guides students of all ages toward their wellbeing goals by connecting traditional yoga with a modern, scientific approach.
Asanas for flexibility, strength and balance — for kids, adults and senior citizens.
Breathing techniques for better respiratory health and a calmer, steadier mind.
Traditional cleansing practices that gently detoxify and refresh body and mind.
One-to-one guidance, including pre- and post-natal and therapeutic sessions.
Support for sleep, diet, weight management and lifestyle-related concerns.
Understanding the reason behind each practice — yoga explained the modern way.
Sessions run through Yogabhyaas — our trustee’s yoga initiative.
The Trust views education as the most powerful tool for lasting social transformation. Our goal is to ensure that economic circumstance never determines whether a child learns to read, dream, or lead.
शिक्षा ही वह शक्ति है जो समाज को बदल सकती है।
From schools and colleges to scholarships and skill development, the Trust's education work is focused on creating pathways to learning for every child and young person — regardless of background, gender or economic circumstance.
In many villages around Jhanjharpur, poorer families struggle to find a place — or the means — to cremate their loved ones with dignity. On land the Trust has already secured, we are preparing Shivhari Muktidham: a cremation facility that is free and open to every family, where last rites are performed with full religious respect, and where no one is ever turned away for want of money or land.
शिवहरि मुक्तिधाम — झंझारपुर (मधुबनी) में निर्धन परिवारों के लिए निःशुल्क, सम्मानजनक अंत्येष्टि की सुविधा। ट्रस्ट के पास भूमि उपलब्ध है; यह सेवा सभी के लिए खुली रहेगी।
No family is charged; nobody is denied a dignified farewell for want of money or land.
Cremation carried out with proper rituals and respect, in keeping with faith and tradition.
The Trust holds the land for the facility; the site is now being readied for service.
Envisioned in time, to reduce the need for firewood and protect the environment.
Bihar has one of the richest cultural traditions in the world — from Madhubani painting to the ancient universities of Nalanda. The Trust is committed to preserving this heritage and passing it on to future generations.
हमारी संस्कृति — हमारी पहचान, हमारी विरासत।
Heritage, arts, language and identity are at the core of a thriving community. The Trust works to celebrate, protect and promote the cultural wealth of Bihar — honouring what has been built over centuries while creating space for contemporary expression.
Dharohar (“heritage”) is a commemorative volume that gathers thirty scholarly essays celebrating the deep tradition of learning in Sarisab-Pahi and Hati, in Mithila — brought together to mark an annual gathering of scholars. It carries the spirit of विद्या ख्यापिता ख्यातिः — that true renown is won not through wealth, but through knowledge.
धरोहर — मिथिला की विद्या-परंपरा को समर्पित तीस विद्वत्तापूर्ण आलेखों का स्मारिका ग्रंथ; “विद्या ख्यापिता ख्यातिः” की भावना का साकार रूप।
Published in 2023 by the founders’ educational and social trust — Pandit Harinarayan Jha & Pandit Shivnarayan Jha Shaikshanik evam Samajik Sahyog Nyas (Hati, Sarisab-Pahi, Madhubani). It reflects the same devotion to learning and culture that the Shivhari Dharma Foundation Trust carries forward today.
General public utility — the fifth pillar — covers everything that builds a more liveable, humane society. From community halls to libraries to drinking water projects, the Trust invests in the infrastructure of everyday dignity that too many communities lack.
"Every community deserves spaces to gather, to mourn, to celebrate and to grow — together."
हर समुदाय को एक ऐसी जगह चाहिए जहाँ वो एक साथ खड़ा हो सके।
"Seva Parmo Dharma — in every pillar, in every act of service."
सेवा ही सर्वोच्च धर्म है — हर कार्य में, हर कदम पर।
