While addressing the congregation at Sant Nirankari Satsang Bhawan Sec. 30-A. Shri Mohinder Singh, Sanyojak of Chandigarh Branch has told that the 46th Annual Nirankari Sant Samagam of Maharashtra opened in MIDC Grounds in Airoli, Navi Mumbai, today. The 3-day Samagam which is being held under the spiritual guidance of His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj, Head of the Sant Niranakri Mission, is being attended by lakhs of devotees of the Mission and other God-loving people from all parts of the State as also from other parts of the country and abroad.
Inaugurating the Samagam with a brief Message to Mankind, His Holiness said that human unity or the Oneness of Mankind is the need of the hour and this is the theme that the Samagam seeks to emphasize. He said that today the man is distanced from man. The tendencies of hatred and jealousy leading to violence are prevailing in the name of religion and many other factors. This is bringing bad name to religion as well as prophets who never preached violence or bloodshed of the innocent. Baba Ji said that man is focused on material achievements. He has become so selfish that he is willing to kill his own kith and kin for wealth and property. The kinds of crime he is committing today is known to the world. In order to curb these tendencies, man must link his mind with the Almighty God. In fact, this is the principal objective of human birth which must be achieved by every human being. Once we realize the Oneness of the Supreme Father – God, we understand the fundamental unity of the mankind as a single global family.
His Holiness said that human being is considered superior to all other species. He must, however, prove this by his behaviour based on human virtues of love, compassion and brotherhood and beautify the atmosphere. These human virtues can, however, be attained only by linking with their Supreme Source i.e., God.
Earlier, in the morning, the beginning of the Samagam was marked by a colourful procession which started from Ganesh Mandir, Sector 17, Airoli and concluded at the venue of the Samagam. His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj, his holy mother Param Pujya Rajmata Kulwant Kaur Ji and his gracious spouse Pujya Mata Sawinder Ji sat in a flower-bedecked open vehicle, while devotees marched from in front of them dancing, singing and seeking their pine blessings.
The devotees were dressed in various costumes depicting the culture of different parts of Maharashtra as also the country. Their objective was to show their unity in persity. Devotees were also carrying placards with slogans seeking peace, harmony, tolerance and unity. Oneness of Mnkind through the Oneness of God, which is the main theme of the Samagam was highlighted by devotees in several different ways. Youngsters donned T-shirts with ‘Oneness’ printed on them. The message of religious tolerance was conveyed through tableaus also. Devotees perform dances, laziums, Dandia and Kalash etc. to express their faith, devotion and the joy. Volunteers of the Sant Nirankari Sewa Dal managed the procession in such a way that the public traffic on the road did not get interrupted. Towards the end, the holy trinity also joined the procession with their vehicle driving towards the venue. As soon as they reached the main gate of the Samagam, they released balloons, the symbol of love, peace and prosperity.
In order to emphasize the Oneness of Humanity, devotees covered a long boundary wall with cloth and put their hand prints on the same in different colours. Even before the Samagam the youngsters belonging to the Mission put up street shows and flash mobs at different public points including some Malls in the city. Prabhat Pheris or morning processions were also organized in various parts of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Another important event was a 45 Km long human chain highlighting the theme of Oneness.
Earlier on January 24, His Holiness visited Nirankari Pradarshni (Exhibition) depicting the history of the Mission, its ideology, spiritual tours of His Holiness in India and abroad, Nirankari Sant Samagams and Social Welfare activities. A section of the exhibition is devoted to the theme of Oneness. The exhibition was formally inaugurated by Shri V.D. Nagpal, General Secretary of the Sant Nirankari Mandal, Delhi on January 22.
