The beauty of the preparations for the 77th Annual Nirankari Sant Samagam

Mahesh Dhoundiyal - Delhi

Like every year, this year also the 77th Annual Sant Samagam of the Nirankari family is going to be organized on 16, 17 and 18 November 2024 at the Sant Nirankari Spiritual Place, Samalkha, with the infinite grace of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj. Based on spirituality, this gathering gives the message of love, peace and unity, which is undoubtedly for the welfare of all humanity. It is well known that the grandeur of this Sant Samagam is not only underlined by its area, but is also indicated by the sentiments of lakhs of devotees coming here from the country and abroad. Nirankari Sant Samagam is such a divine confluence of humanity where rising above the barriers of religion, caste, language, province and poverty-wealth, everyone does seva, sumiran and satsang in a dignified manner with love and harmony. This is the same message which all the saints, pirs and gurus have given from time to time. In this three-day Sant Samagam, devotees will express their good feelings through songs, thoughts and poems on various aspects of devotion. Everyone will also receive the priceless gift of discourses of Satguru Mata Ji and Nirankari Rajpita Ji. This year Satguru Mata Ji has given the theme of the Samagam- 'Expansion, towards the infinite'.

To organize the huge form of Nirankari Sant Samagam effectively and smoothly, the devotees and sevadars of Nirankari Mission come from every corner of the country months in advance and dedicate their selfless services and get involved in the preparations. This scene of Samagam services is very inspiring and picturesque in itself. This year too, it was observed that services begin from the morning itself where men and women of all age groups are providing various types of services. The sevadars have earthen plates in their hands and sweet songs full of devotion on their lips. Somewhere the ground is being leveled and somewhere tents are being erected. Even the young brothers and sisters in the uniform of the Sevadal are busy in various types of services on the ground as per the instructions of their officers. Langar, canteen, publications and many such facilities are running smoothly, which will keep on becoming bigger in the coming days. The basis of the social activity that is visible is completely spiritual. Seeing the form of God in each other, everyone is bowing down at each other's feet saying 'Dhan Nirankar Ji'. This seems to be a living example of 'Vidya Dadati Vinayam'. There is a spiritual aura on everyone's faces, which is revealing the faith and satisfaction of their mind. The culmination of the joy and happiness of these devotees serving is seen when they get the darshan of their Satguru while serving. At that moment, the hearts of the Gursikhs start dancing, singing and dancing. All the devotees wait for this heavenly sight for the whole year.

Sant Nirankari Mandal Secretary and Convener of the Samagam, Shri Joginder Sukhija told that preparations are being made for the stay, food, toilet, health, security, arrival-departure and all other basic services of all the saints. Every kind of support is being received from the state administration and all the arrangements are being made keeping in mind every legal aspect related to the organization of the Samagam. In a few days, this spiritual place will take the form of a 'city of devotion' where lakhs of saints and Mahatmas from all over the world will gather. Every religion-loving brother and sister is heartily welcome in this great confluence of humanity.
