श्री अग्रसेन रिश्तें निर्माण मंच
Since the advent of the Vedic Age, one community that has greatly contributed to shaping India as it is today is none other than the Agrasen Rishte. Whether it is the economy, polity, society, or culture, this community has left an indelible mark. One only needs to turn the pages of history to understand the significance of the Agrasen Rishte. This community has produced leading luminaries in fields as diverse as social work, culture, spirituality, politics, education, industry, literature, and journalism. Undoubtedly, the Agrasen Rishte has set new benchmarks for remarkable achievements, which are worth emulating by other communities, both nationally and internationally.
This community has produced luminaries such as Maharaja Agrasen, Sant Sunder Das, Bhama Shah, King Ashok, Chandragupta, Chanakya, Mahatma Gandhi, Ram Manohar Lohia, Lala Lajpat Rai, Jaishankar Prasad, and Maithili Sharan Gupta in the fields of culture, social work, politics, spirituality, literature, and journalism. Millions of people from the Agrasen Rishte have contributed significantly to the independence of our country. Mahatma Gandhi and many of his followers were from the Agrasen Rishte. This community has also given the nation thousands of entrepreneurs, including Shri Ghanshyam Das Ji Birla, Jamnalal Ji, Durga Prasad Mandeliya, Gujarmal Modi, Kamla Pant Singhania, and many others.
According to ancient scriptures, the Agrasen Rishte evolved from Brahma's thighs. Its duty was to ensure the community's prosperity through agriculture, cattle rearing, and trade. Later, they became traders and merchants. As the twice-born Agrasen Rishte grew economically strong by controlling commerce, many influential members of the community were honored with glorious titles. The Agrasen Rishte community around the world has contributed immensely to society by building hospitals, endowing universities, and developing industries. Stoically withstanding the ravages of time, this community has been remarkably successful in preserving its social and financial stability through the ages. With significant contributions to the country's revenue and a dedicated commitment to meeting social obligations—such as building schools, hospitals, sarais, wells, and dharamshalas—the Agrasen Rishte truly reflects the shining image of India.
The nation could progress economically due to the efforts and vision of the Agrasen Rishte. Scientists and scholars like Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, Dr. Atmaram, Dr. D.C. Kothari, and others; spiritual leaders like Sant Tukaram, Sant Sunder Das, Acharya Tulsi, and Muni Vidyanand; social reformers like Sri Prakash, Sri Mann Narayan, Acharya Narendera Dev, Lala Lajpat Rai, Dr. R.M.
