My Journey...
My journey towards tour guiding began when I was of a very young age.
When I was eight years old, I used to accompany my father to take tourists
for sightseeing at our famous temples and shrines along with my education.
I would listen very closely & carefully to my father’s words and learned about
our cultural history. At the age of eleven years, I started to run my own tours
at our Seva Kunj temple. Tourists would pay me five rupees in return.
Slowly, my reward went from five to ten rupees, and ten to fifty rupees and go on.
Along with tourism, I also went to school, as I studied Commerce in college. One day,
I met an Australian family who came to visit Vrindavan. They loved my service and
encouraged me to learn English. Not only that, but they also offered to pay my tuition
for tutoring sessions in Vrindavan and online. With their help, I am now fluent in
English and it has advanced the quality of my services. I can speak English, Hindi and Bengali.
I later began to advertise in hotels, so that the tourists that stayed there would come
to me for sightseeing activities. As my touring services became more popular, I was offered
an opportunity to work for a tourism company. I hold tours to several famous places all around
India, such as Agra, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Ajmer, Delhi and Kerala. My goal is to
become an honest and successful tour guide.
Every Year I offer my tourist service to approximately 20-25 thousand persons including Indians
and the rest of the world. Being Brahmin I also know Vedas, astrology, Yagya Seva, Hawan Seva –
all of which help to get rid of life problems that create obstructions in family or personal life.
