The ceremony began with traditional ‘Jaimala’ followed by a common garland for each couple – special feature of Nirankari wedding. ‘Lavan’, the four sacred hymns were sung with music, each followed by showering of flowers by Her Holiness and devotees attending the ceremony. The ceremony concluded with divine blessings from Her Holiness Satguru Mata Savinder Hardev Ji Maharaj. She wished them a happy and prosperous married life while at the same time seeking company of saints (Satsang), remembering God (Sumiran) and doing selfless service (Sewa). 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 2 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. V. D. Nagpal Ji, General Secretary of Sant Nirankari Mandal, Shri. S. S. Tiwari Ji, Chairman of the Samagam Committee and Shri Virendra Bamne Ji, its Coordinator thanked Satguru Mata Ji for her divine blessings due to which they could make all the arrangements for the Samagam. They also thanked Government departments and various organizations for their whole hearted cooperation. They were thankful to devotees who did not mind any shortcoming in the arrangements for their lodging and boarding during the Samagam.

  • Postscript: November 1985
    Postscript: November 1985 In the time since the typescript of this book went to the publishers, events have highlighted a number of its themes. Perhaps the most important - the agreement between Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Harchand Singh Longowal, announced on 24 July 1985 1 - emphasised a basic argument of the book: that political decisions, rather than inexorable social forces, determine the form and intensity of ethnIc conflict. On the face of it, Punjab's problems should have been more intractable by July 1985 than ever before. The mood of Sikhs, for example, should have been more intransigent. The army had been deployed in Punjab for more than a year, the Sikhs there complained of violations of civil rights. In addition, Sikhs everywhere shared the anger and humiliation, if not the loss and death, of those who suffered in the rioting following Mrs Gandhi's murder. 'National opinion', too, might have been expected to have hardened against Sikhs. The death of more than 80 people in terrorist bombings in New Delhi and other parts of north India on 11 and 12 May ought to have embittered feelings further, as should the mysterious crash of an Air India jumbo jet off the coast of Ireland on 23 June which killed more than 320 people. Furthermore, the 'Memorandum of Settlement' of July 1985 between the central government and Longowal's Akali Dal appeared to contain nothing new. Indeed, wrote The Tribune, it ran 'along lines known and agreed upon almost two years ago'.2 The 'Indian Talks' section of this book (pp.

  • Peace Not Pieces Let's Work for It SANT NIRANKARI MISSION the Mission of Universal Brotherhood
    Peace not Pieces Let's work for it SANT NIRANKARI MISSION The Mission of Universal Brotherhood Sant Nirankari Mission, popularly known as the Universal Brotherhood, is an all-embracing spiritual movement, dedicated to peace, love and human fraternity. Through spiritual awakening, the Mission seeks to overcome the barriers that have increasingly separated human beings from each other. The central premise of the Mission is that such an awakening is possible, in the company of a 'Guru', or spiritual Guide, who is personally living in a state of enlightenment. Having high regard for all religions and spiritual movements, the Mission is founded on the belief that 'True Religion Unites, Never Divides'. These are the words of Nirankari Baba Hardev Singh Ji, the fountain-head of spiritual knowledge and leader of the Mission today. Baba Ji does not seek to remove individuality, or create uniformity. Rather, he promotes and celebrates unity in diversity. The Mission, which has its International headquarters in New Delhi, continues to bring together people of all cultures, different social groups and denominations. A Brief History of the Mission The Mission made its beginnings in 1929 in Peshawar (Now in Pakistan), when Baba Buta Singh Ji raised the voice of Truth, inspiring a small network of individuals whilst on his travels. Accompanied by his most devoted disciple, Baba Avtar Singh Ji, he worked virtuously and laboriously day and night not only to share his message amongst mankind, but to improve their quality of life. In 1943 the responsibility for carrying the Mission forward was passed on to Baba Avtar Singh Ji.

  • Indira Gandhi
    Indira Gandhi Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi (Hindustani: [ˈɪnːdɪrə ˈɡaːndʱi] ( listen); née Nehru; Indira Gandhi November 19, 1917 – October 31, 1984), was an Indian politician, stateswoman and a central figure of the Indian National Congress.[1] She was the first and, to date, the only female Prime Minister of India. Indira Gandhi was the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India. Despite her surname Gandhi, she is not related to the family of Mahatma Gandhi; Gandhi is a common surname in Gujarat. She served as Prime Minister from January 1966 to March 1977 and again from January 1980 until her assassination in October 1984, making her the second longest-serving Indian Prime Minister after her father.[2] Gandhi served as her father's personal assistant and hostess during his tenure as Prime Minister between 1947 and 1964. She was elected President of the Indian National Congress in 1959. Upon her father's death in 1964 she was appointed as a member of the Rajya Sabha (upper house) and became a member of Lal Bahadur Shastri's cabinet as Minister of Information and Broadcasting.[3] In the Congress Party's parliamentary leadership election held in early 1966 (upon the death of Shastri), she defeated her rival Morarji Desai, to become leader, and thus succeeded Shastri as Prime Minister of India. 3rd Prime Minister of India As Prime Minister, Gandhi was known for her political intransigency and In office unprecedented centralisation of power.
