Aharnisham Sevamahe (“In-Service Day and Night”)

We should take care of these three things in life: Namaskar (greetings), acceptance, and benevolence. If you understand the meaning of these three and apply them in your life, then life can be successful. The religion of humanity is the biggest in life. By bringing it to life, society and the country can be served.

The one who has neatly preserved the memories of struggle, success, dedicated service, and rich values of parents at every step of life. Because of that, today he has a special identity in the field of all-around development and rehabilitation of the downtrodden, differently-abled, and destitute. Founder of Narayan Seva – Mr. Prashant Agarwal, son of Padma Shri Kailash ‘Manav’. Like his father, he filled new hope and new light in the lives of others with the mantra ‘Aharnish Seva Mahe’ i.e. ‘May I be devoted to continuous service’.

Mr. Prashant Agarwal took initiation to serve suffering humanity at an early age. He was born on 21 September 1973 in Udaipur from the womb of mother Mrs. Kamla Devi. After completing his graduation in science, he started his own business named Amco Enterprises. He also joined a friend’s pharma wholesale company and later, under the banner of ‘Paragon Mobility Retail Pvt. Ltd’, he started manufacturing ‘Orthopedic Soft Goods’, which continues to this day.

Although engaged in service work since childhood with the inspiration of his parents, in the year 2000 Narayan Seva Sansthan felt the need for his services full-time. Due to his faith and sense of service towards Lord Krishna, he left his business in the hands of his friend and joined the Sansthan. He expanded the services, established branches nationally and internationally, and modernized the entire system. His simple nature, soft-spoken and calm demeanor, and strong-willed dedication are his key qualities.
