With the benign blessings of His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj, Yorkshire Nirankari Volunteers organised and held a special assembly at the Sant Nirankari Bhawan Bradford. The theme of the gathering was “Truthful Living within a modern society”.

On behalf of the Nirankari Mission, Local Parmukh Rev Jawahar Singh Ji, Rev Atma Ram Ji, Rev Kulbinder Saandal Ji, and other Local committee members, along with local saints, warmly welcomed the guests who belonged to various faiths and communities and had travelled from different parts of the region to attend this event.

Mr Inderjit Bhogal OBE, Director of Yorkshire and Humber faiths Forum stated how the Christian values of love for fellow man and neighbour were being promoted within the Nirankari Mission’s message of Universal oneness and went onto thank and commend the mission’s endeavours towards this goal.

Rev H.S.Upashak ji presided over the assembly and in his discourse said many people welcome others as guests; but here today if we talk of Universal Brotherhood under the Fatherhood of ONE God then we are ALL his children, and as brothers and sisters the whole congregation was warmly welcomed and addressed.

He further added that Truth is the ultimate and definitive absolute BUT higher still was Truthful living. This journey of Truthful living can only begin when we firstly become good individuals, good human beings, and adopt mutual love and respect for our parents, for our families and society. A good human-being leads to being a good Hindu, Muslim or Christian; and if we can adopt tolerance and understanding for others belief, then we can have ALL peaceful co-existence within our communities and society at large.

Finally all the guests enjoyed the communal meal prepared by the local saints. All of them praised and were very touched and inspired by Mission’s message, hospitality and humbleness of the saints.
