Sumant Kurhekar – A Visionary Young Social Activist
Sumant Kurhekar, the President of Shivshambhu Alliances, is a dynamic young social activist known for his dedication to social welfare, cultural preservation, and community service. His journey in leadership began over a decade ago as the President of Nav Yuvak Ganesh Utsav Mandal, which later evolved into Shivshambhu Group, an organization deeply involved in socio-cultural initiatives.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sumant Kurhekar and the Shivshambhu Group provided essential support by distributing sanitization kits and free meals. Their efforts reached underprivileged families, frontline workers, and stranded migrants, offering vital relief during the crisis and reaffirming his commitment to humanitarian service.
A key highlight of his work was during Ganesh Chaturthi, when he created history by bringing a majestic elephant from Ujjain Mahakal to Nagpur, Maharashtra. The elephant’s presence not only mesmerized devotees but also marked a first-of-its-kind spiritual experience, making the festival truly unforgettable.
Sumant Kurhekar’s contributions extend beyond festivities. During the Mahakumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, he took a significant initiative to provide comfortable accommodation and nourishing food to pilgrims from across India. His efforts ensured a seamless and enriching experience for thousands who visited the sacred gathering.
Further showcasing his commitment to social welfare, on the occasion of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, he and the Shivshambhu Group organized a massive food distribution drive, serving over 50,000 people at the Mahakumbh. This initiative reinforced his vision of selfless service and devotion to community welfare.
Now, taking another significant step, Sumant Kurhekar is set to introduce bottled Triveni Sangam Jal, extracted on the highly auspicious day of Mahashivratri. This sacred water, revered for its immense spiritual significance, will be made available across India as the ultimate puja essential. Recognized for its divine purity, the Triveni Sangam Jal is an irreplaceable component of spiritual rituals and sacred offerings, ensuring that devotees can experience its holiness from the comfort of their homes.
