हर्षिल- उत्तराखण्ड का स्विट्जरलैंड
“पार�� परिवार” में आपका स्वागत है, जहाँ आकर बदल जाता है आपका संपूर्ण जीवन और जीवन में आती है बस खुशहाली ही खुशहाली। जहाँ दुःख और दर्द का होता है नाश और चेहरे पर आती है एक मुस्कान।
“पारस परिवार” का मानना है कि खुशियाँ तभी मिलती हैं जब हम दूसरों की मदद करने में सदैव आगे रहते हैं। यानि असली ख़ुशी वो है जब हम दूसरे के चेहरे पर प्यारी सी एक मुस्कराहट बिखेर सकें और पारस परिवार इस नेक कार्य में हमेशा से आगे रहता है। पारस परिवार कभी भी छोटा-बड़ा, अमीर-गरीब में अंतर नहीं करता है, उसके लिए सब एक समान हैं। वह कोशिश करता है कि सबके जीवन में खिली हुई धूप हो और दूर-दूर तक बस उजाला ही उजाला हो।
पारस परिवार एक सामाजिक-आध्यात्मिक संस्था है, जिसके संस्थापक और निदेशक “महंत श्री पारस भाई जी” हैं। इस संस्था की नींव 17 सितंबर 2012 को रखी गई थी।
महंत श्री पारस भाई जी माँ चण्डी के दुलारे हैं। कहते हैं कि माँ अपने बच्चों को नेक कार्य करते हुए देखकर हमेशा खुश होती हैं और उन्हें आशीर्वाद देती हैं। शायद यही वजह है कि माँ के आशीर्वाद और उनकी कृपा से महंत श्री पारस भाई जी के अंदर अद्भुत शक्तियां समाहित हैं, जिन शक्तियों का प्रयोग वह जन कल्याण में करते हैं और समाज की सेवा के लिए हमेशा तत्पर रहते हैं।
आज हर कोई इस भागदौड़ भरी जिंदगी से ऊब चुका है। ऐसे में इंसान इस भागमभाग जिंदगी से कहीं दूर पहाड़ों में कुछ पल सुकून के बिताना चाहता है और कुछ समय अपने लिए निकालना चाहता है। जहाँ बस शांति हो और जहाँ जाकर आपको लगे कि यह जगह किसी जन्नत से कम नहीं है। यहाँ कुछ समय के लिए आप सब कुछ भूल जाएंगे।
Tumblr media

Car on Rent in dehradun
Car on Rent in Dehradun
Unlock the heart of the Doon Valley with a Car on rent. Dehradun, a harmonious blend of nature's splendor and urban vibrancy, can be a maze for visitors. Beyond the blend of nature's majesty and urban energy, the city itself offers treasures waiting to be discovered. From the serenity of Tapkeshwar Temple to the grandeur of Forest Research Institute, and the bustling Paltan Bazaar, a Dehradun car rental equips you to dive deep into its culture and heritage. Those unfamiliar might find its streets a tad perplexing. Public transport, though functional, often falls short of offering a comprehensive, hassle-free journey. Think of the beckoning destinations nearby: Mussoorie, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Chopta, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunotri, Gangotri, Harsil, Mana, Niti Valley and Chakrata. With your own car on rent and an informed driver, the limitations of scheduled transportation fade away. Opting for a Car on rent in Dehradun is your ticket to convenience, safety, and crafting a timeless adventure in this Himalayan cradle at your own pace.
