In keeping with the enthusiasm from the last several years, the Sant Nirankari Mission in Toronto continued to show their support in the blood donation clinic held on April 23rd, 2011. The clinic was held a day before the annual Human Unity congregation. With Satguru Baba Hardev Singh Ji’s blessings, the camp was well received by the congregation and the Canadian Blood Services. The congregation openly embraced this service (Sewa) and donated 69 units of blood.

Many were asked what inspired them to donate blood and they humbly answered, this provided an opportunity to give back to society very simply.  A donor commented that this wonderful opportunity is simple because it’s easy to donate blood and your blood regenerates effortlessly.

One first-time donor came on the invitation from a saint and he was impressed by the overall zeal from all age groups. It was also noted by those who reside outside of Toronto, that the whole event was organized in a pleasant manner which permitted all age groups to participate. For example, those under 17 were serving food to the donors and doing their part during the event. A member of the media noted that the food being served was given with such respect and love. It has been said, everybody can serve with no limitations attached, and all you need is a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love. These are teachings of Satguru Baba Hardev Singh Maharaj Ji.

The Canadian Blood Services thanked the Sant Nirankari Mission for allowing them to be a part of this event and the congregation in turn thanked the Canadian Blood Services for making the Mission ‘Partner for Life’.
