Samagam Concluded :
The 3-day 50th Annual Nirankari Sant Samagam of Maharashtra concluded on Sunday with a call from Satguru Mata Savinder Hardev Ji Maharaj to rise above the feelings of ego and take this Mission of Divine Truth forward.Her Holiness said that ego is not accepted by Nirankar on the path of devotion. Only those got accepted here who eliminated their ego. A true devotee gives credit for all that he achieves to the Alimighty God. He never claims doership for anything he acquires.Satguru Mata Savinder Hardev Ji Maharaj said that today we see this beautiful and vast form of the Mission in Maharashtra due to the blessings of Baba Avtar Singh Ji, Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji and Rajmata Ji and the selfless efforts of Rishi Vyasdev Ji. He established the Sant Nirankari Mission not only in Maharashtra but Nepal also. Since no other ‘religion’ could be preached in Nepal during those times, he had to suffer a lot. He, however, remained steadfast saying that he was not the doer and he carried out only the will of God.
May God bless every devotee of the Mission with strength and ability so that they too are able to take its message of Truth forward with similar spirit of selflessness.A special feature of the concluding session of the Samagam was a multilingual poetic symposium in which more than 20 poets presented their poems in Marathi, Hindi, Malwani, Punjabi, English and Bhojpuri languages. The theme of the Poetic Symposium was – Karz Chukaya Jaye Na, Hardev Tere Ahsanon Ka, which was dedicated to the glorious contribution made by Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj in the service of humanity.Earlier, Shri.
