For the Fort Lauderdale branch in Florida, USA, the New Year
started with blessings from Respected Gobind Singh ji and Meena
ji from Ann Arbor, Michigan as they came for the first Prachaar
tour in Fort Lauderdale for 2017. Respected Gobind Singh ji is
the Executive Committee member for Sant Nirankari Mission, USA,
doing sewa in the Publication department. He had been serving in
the Mission since his childhood and has been a part of SNM’s
administrative body since 1974.
Local Community members
and saints from nearby branches of Fort Myers and Melbourne also
came in to receive the blessings. SNM members from Toronto also
happened to be in town for the weekend and attended the sangat.
The topic for this sangat was: “What is the purpose of Human
Life” Saints spoke about the true purpose of life and the
significance of Gyan. Members from many different organizations
and the local community, came in to attend and left with a very
positive impact.
Speakers spoke about the significance
of God Knowledge and how much of an impact it made on their
lives. In his discourse, Respected Gobind Singh mentioned that
God knowledge opens that eye that lets you connect to God and
recognize Him. Only then, is devotion complete. He talked about
the purpose of life being Gyan; And that walking on the path of
God-Knowledge is the only key to Salvation.
“We need to
have pure thoughts. When intentions are pure, then God is with
you. If we haven’t seen God, the how can we sing his praises? We
are lucky to be human beings and have been given this
opportunity to know God. Let’s make good use of this life and
fulfill the purpose of life.”-Respected Gobind Singh Ji.
Saints had came in from Toronto for a cruise and were
getting ready to board their flights when an unfortunate
shooting incident took place at the Fort Lauderdale Airport.
With Satguru Mataji’s blessings everyone was okay and came and
sought Respected Gobind Singh ji’s blessings in the sangat.
Attendees left very inspired and motivated. At-length
conversations took place between devotees and community members,
in which they answered many questions. A tabla player was hired
for the evening to support the geet and bhajans. When the
satsang finished, he refused the payment saying that he was so
motivated and had gained so much from the satsang, that he
requested his services be accepted as sewa for the Mission. Over
the next few days, Gobind Singh ji & Meena ji made trips to
saint’s homes and a sangat was also planned in the nearby branch
of Fort Myers.
We thank Satguru Mataji for blessing us
with a divine opportunity to seek blessings from Respected
Gobind Singh Ji.
