About Company

The history of the Sansthan began with a small idea in the mind of a small time businessman, an ordinary citizen of Allahabad but nevertheless a highly educated and well-read person who went by the name Shyam Sunder Saraf. Shri Saraf, who had been suffering from various chronic ailments and depression for 17 years, came by a book “Your Health in Your Hands” by Dr. Devendra Vora, a leading authority on reflexology (a branch of acupressure) in India. The book seemed to Shri Saraf a solution to not only all his incurable ailments but to that of thousands of other sufferers like him. Shri Saraf decided to go to Mumbai and meet with Dr. Devendra Vora. That fateful day happened to be the day of 24 Oct 1994. Shri Saraf invited Dr. Vora to come to Allahabad and impart acupressure knowledge to the citizens of the city as also treat desirous patients. Little did Shri Saraf know at that time that he was destined to be a catalyst for a mass movement in the service of humanity. Having invited Dr. Vora over, Shri Saraf set about organizing the impending event. But first and foremost, was the task of motivating and rallying people to attend training pertaining to a therapy about which little was known and which had no takers. The task proved more arduous than what this modest trader had imagined, what with his limited resources and organizational inexperience. But as the saying goes, God always favours the bold hearted. Shri Saraf soon found a soul mate in a fellow businessman, Shri Mata Prasad Khemka, a man known for his tremendous organizational acumen. But, the task was still daunting for just two men and a platform was needed. Shri Marwari Agrawal Charitable Society, Allahabad came forward to provide this platform. Soon, many likeminded people joined in to lend a helping hand. Shri Siya Pratap Singh, a nature cure and yoga specialist, alone motivated around 100 people to attend the training. Dr. Devendra Vora arrived at Allahabad on 4 Jan 1995 and inaugurated the acupressure (reflexology) training camp organized under the aegis of Shri Marwari Agrawal Charitable Society at the local Jhankar cinema/meeting hall. The lamp of acupressure was lit in the presence of distinguished luminaries of the city which included the mayor Shri Ravi Bhushan Wadhawan, ex mayor Shri Shyam Charan Gupt, retired justice of Allahabad high court Shri Prem Shankar Gupt, founder director of “Viklang Kendra” Padmshri Dr. J. B. Banerji, president of Allahabad Traders Association Shri Prem Chand Gupt, renowned acupressure expert and social worker of Kolkata Shri Banarasi Lal Patodia, Sant Gyanendra Ji of “Kabir Panth’, pillars of Allahabad Marwari Society Shri Ram Jiwan Chaudhary and Shri Ram Bilas Chaudhary and over 300 leading lights of the city.
