After having darshan of the present Gaddinashin (incumbent head) of the Dera, Sant Niranjan Das Ji, Chairman Jasvir Singh Garhi held a deep discussion with Sant Niranjan Das Ji—who is also the Chairman of Shri Guru Ravidas Janam Asthan Mandir Public Charitable Trust, Kanshi Banaras—regarding the 650th Parkash Purab of Shri Guru Ravidas Maharaj Ji.
This historic 650-year celebration is being organized by the Trust on a global level at Shri Guru Ravidas Janam Asthan Mandir, Seer-Goverdhanpur, Kanshi Banaras (Uttar Pradesh) on February 20, 2027.

During this, the Trust put forth the demand that the 650th Parkash Purab of Shri Guru Ravidas Maharaj Ji be celebrated at the state level by the Government of Punjab, and that a high-level committee be formed—including government representatives, saints, and other social personalities—for preparations, so that the 650th Parkash Purab events can be celebrated with Punjabi tradition and devotion.
Chairman assured the Trust that he would convey this demand to the Punjab Government so that further action in this regard could be implemented. He said that the Bani of Shri Guru Ravidas Maharaj Ji gives all of us the message of humanity and equality, and that we should follow the path shown by Guru Ji and uphold His great teachings.
