25 January Celebrations.


Pious Birth Day of Param Pita Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj was celebrated with pomp and gaiety at Dera Sacha Sauda, Sirsa. According to an estimate more than 1.25 Crore followers reached ashram to celebrate birth day of their beloved Satguru. Serpentine queues of vehicle kept on merging in numerous parking places allocated for this special occasion. Number of volunteers to manage such a magnificent celebration outgrown the mark of one lac. Even prevailing road jam due to a local agitation could not keep followers's enthusiasm, ecstasy and zeal to get a view of their beloved Satguru.

Glorious pages introduced to the golden history of Dera Sacha Sauda

A matter of 55 seconds and 154 marriages………….  An unprecedented event
Amazing moment it was!  On the pious day of birthday ceremony of Param Pitaji [Former Preceptor of Dera Sacha Sauda], a count of 154 devotees hailing from tribal outskirts were married off within fifty five seconds following the usual marriage trend of Dera Sacha Sauda [brham vivah]. The most important fact is that earlier they were following the incoital relations before the marriage and their off springs would attend their marriages, but now they have changed their lives as civil human beings by the guidance of Hazoor Pitaji.

Two sparkling pearls added to the garland of mankind
Again, a great benefaction by Hazoor Pitaji to the society!  Yes, this was the occasion of birthday ceremony of Param Pitaji and Reverend Guruji administered the followers to vow for helping the widows in marrying them off again. Moreover, His Holiness had commenced a new expedition to take control over the population explosion and gave a slogan as ’Hum ek hamara ek’ and adjured the followers to abide by it.  Millions of devotees expressed their consent for the same by raising their hands.

One more shubh Devi tied in the wedlock with Bhakt Yodha
On the same auspicious day, a valiant votary (Bhakat yodha) was tied in the wedlock with ex-prostitute (Shubh Devi) and the couple was bestowed with a cheque of 25,000 INR as a marriage gift by Guruji. Since, His Holiness Guruji has been adopted those girls [who were compelled to endure the throes of marginalization] as His daughters and has lent them HIS own name.
Writing down the praise of HIS Holiness’ humanitarian efforts by using all oceans as ink, chaste intelligence as paper, with the pen of dedication and with the mind of a seasoned journalist would be at par with showing the lamp to the sun.

As being human only, we ought to bow and offer our sincere hearty regards at His lotus pious feet to reimburse the debt to some extent and eulogize as-

“Prem TERA pyare Satguru hume na mil gya hota,
Pta nahi ji Data ji hamara haal kya hota”

Women Crusade For Tobacco-Free Village


Sriganganagar, November 6
Gurusar Modian near Sriganganagar is being developed as an ‘adarsh gram’ (model village). It will soon reportedly have a unique variety of ornamental trees. A comprehensive campaign was launched to develop greenery in the village this weekend by planting Alfa gulcheen saplings. Architect and landscaping expert Kuldeep Singh and Mohan Lal informed that 3170 saplings would be planted in and around the village to give it a picturesque look.

Each house will also be provided with plants at the entrance. The organisers of the green clean village campaign have decided to plant saplings of Washing Tonya, Bottle Palm, Acoma gory on all sides of water reservoir while Ashoka, Bottle Palm, Molsari, Gulmohur are to be planted on both sides of the roads that link the village with the main road.
Sarpanch Nirmal Kaur and her husband Nazar Singh said all the streets had been widened by removing encroachments by persuasions. The boundary walls of all the houses are being given light green paint coating. Earlier hundreds of women led by the sarpanch had staged day-long dharna and gheraoed the liquor shop. Notably, they had initially approached all the shopkeepers in the village to get the sale of tobacco products stopped for ever.
While adopting a soft posture to ensure that the shopkeepers do not face economic loss, they had purchased the entire stock of such products and later set the heap afire at the ‘chaupal’ (common place of meeting).
Scores of men had also extended support to the drive. The sarpanch and other activists claimed that soon, the tourists visiting this village after a few months, would witness a remarkable change in the environment.
