Have we ever realised how each of the approximately 15 trillion cells in a human body work in mutual cooperation to make our body function in a hugely complex way? Further on, how do the tissues, organs and systems work in tandem, supporting each other to make the body survive? Have you heard of the Nervous System imposing its might as the ‘decision-maker’ on the other systems? Or the Heart, for that matter, expressing favour to the other systems for being the only ‘pump-house’ of the body? Let’s shift our focus to the abundant bounty of nature around us with a similar perspective. Imagine the Sun going on strike for not being thanked enough by the flora and fauna on Earth, which would not exist in the absence of sunshine.
The rivers going dry in a rage of anger for not being conveyed gratitude by the lush green farms and their crops. The above metaphorical reference is an attempt to understand that every part of the nature around us supports, shares, cooperates and coordinates with the other part(s) because it knows that ‘I exist, only if We exist’. Nothing and no one can exist in isolation. If the relation we share with nature is more or less inter-dependent, without scope for favours or obligations, why then do we humans think we are doing a huge ‘charity’ or ‘favour’ by helping our fellow brothers and sisters, who need our helping hand? Ironical.
The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 has given us humans a chance to look at life with a deeper understanding of purpose, also making us realise that any and every context of hatred, jealousy, judgement or competition is too trifle for giants like us, termed Homo Sapiens in taxonomy.
A platform which celebrates togetherness and oneness of human race, rather of the entire universe has been promoting this cause since 1929 across India and rest of the world. Sant Nirankari Mission, moving on the path of collaborative compassion under the divine aegis of its present Satguru, Her Holiness Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, has been instrumental in sowing seeds of Universal Brotherhood in the minds and hearts of millions of fellow humans. This knowledge and realisation manifests into a perception, free from all prejudices of caste, colour, race or nationality etc. which was showcased vividly when thousands of Nirankari devotees came forward for selfless service of lakhs of our brothers and sisters affected during lockdown period from April 2020 onwards. The Mission has been the torch bearer of practical spirituality for devotees of all ages, who not only speak about Harmony in Oneness, but try to make it a part of their everyday life. The message of ‘A World Without Walls’ given by Baba Hardev Singh Ji, the fourth master of the Mission is undoubtedly finding hope of materializing through the ideology and teaching of the Sant Nirankari Mission.
The Mission organises many congregations at micro and macro levels, which are most formidably epitomes and microcosms of peaceful co-existence. A sight to behold, the annual congregation of the mission, called Nirankari Sant Samagam has been taking place in Delhi-NCR for the last 72 years at various venues, witnessing presence of around million Nirankari followers from India and abroad. This year, following the government and health agency norms due to Covid-19, the Mission is organising its 73rd Annual Sant Samagam virtually on 5, 6 and 7 Dec 2020. The program has been recorded in a small ‘Covid Bubble’ set-up where all precautions like covid testing, sanitization, social distancing and use of mask etc were followed. The theme of the Samagam is ‘Sthirta’ (The Eternal Stability). This program, which will be viewed by lakhs of Nirankari Devotees is to be webcast from mission’s website (www.live.nirankari.org) along with a telecast scheduled on the same days from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm on Sanskar TV. All the readers are welcome to be a part of the proceedings and experience the pure spiritual essence through soulful hymns, profound speeches and blissful message of Her Holiness Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj.
