With the festive season in full flow, many people miss out on the festive cheer and goodwill towards all mankind.

Promoting the Nirankari Mission’s philosophy of Universal Brotherhood, of love and understanding amongst communities across the world, irrespective of caste, colour or creed, that is helping to build bridges, the Nirankari saints from Yorkshire joined in to celebrate the joyous occasion of Christmas, remembering the birth of Lord Jesus Christ and his teachings.

On a snowy, cold Tuesday, the 22nd December 2009, with the blessings of His Holiness Satguru Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj, Yorkshire Nirankari volunteers presented Christmas hampers to the local branch of The Salvation Army and Mill Lodge Care Home (for the elderly with physical frailty and physical disability). Local Saints donated open heartily in the form of money, food and other festive items.

Under the guidance of local Committee members, Christmas hampers were put together by local volunteers. A delegation from Yorkshire Nirankari Bhawan including the Parmukh, Rev. Jawahar Singh Ji, along with local Committee members and other volunteers, went to present Christmas hampers.

Both, the management and staff warmly welcomed the delegation and graciously accepted the Christmas hampers. They were very pleased and delighted to learn of the Nirankari Mission's activities in promoting Love, Peace and Unity. They pledged their support and co-operation and trusted this to be the start of long and successful collaborations in serving the community.
