Western Zone – USA: Los Angeles; San Francisco; Phoenix; Reno; and Seattle

Here are some excerpts from the holy discourse of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, which shall definitely lead us to happiness and well-being. These blissful words were said by Satguru Mata Ji during the virtual congregation of Western America on 10th September, 2021.

1. Pure and Pious intentions are always blessed. There is a close relationship between our thoughts and our actions. Thoughts determine our intentions.

2. We have to handle positive thoughts by discarding negative and unnecessary thoughts. At the same time, we need to take care, how to imbibe these thoughts in life.

3. While doing any task, it is important to have good intention behind it and everyone’s intention is evidently visible. If intention is clear but, words are not in sync; still, what the heart intends to convey, reaches the other person.

4. After attaining this Divine Knowledge (Brahmgyan), we have been asked to do Sewa, Simran and Satsang. For these also, intention is important. What is the use of Sewa, if it is done with the intention of mere projection? Similarly, if Simran is merely repetition of words and the mind is not connected with God (Nirankar), then it is of no use. Also, one should attend Satsang with the intention of listening, gaining and imbibing in life.

5. In the field of education, students who study with dedication, hard work and time, fetch good marks and also remember their lessons throughout life, reaping the benefits. On the other hand, students who take exams by studying only in the last few days; they may pass in the exam but, they do not remember their lesson very well. They simply remember the topics in short-term memory and then forget it.

6. Similarly, God realization, which we have attained through the Divine Knowledge (Brahmgyan), should we remember it for life. This is such a wealth that the more we use it, the more it will prosper. We need to take care of it. For this, we have to sing the glory of God and take its support in every situation.

7. Just as various varieties of plants are grown in the same soil, such as thorny cacti, flowering plants and fruit bearing trees. Similarly, the mind is same; different types of thoughts come in it, depending upon our intentions.

8. We often think that Sewa, Simran and Satsang are repeatedly mentioned; these subjects may seem monotonous but, are very important and beneficial for us. We have to understand them in depth, benefiting from their importance. Satsang is not limited to Bhawan’s only. Whenever we do anything as per Guru’s wisdom in school, office or at home; then that task becomes devotion.

9. If we consider that devotion is just being physically present in the congregation (Sangat) hence, it’s not true. Devotion comes from the heart. A devotee immediately apologizes for his mistakes. He apologizes to God (Nirankar) with the intention that he doesn’t commit this mistake again.

10. May God bless everyone with good intentions, so that without any deceit in mind, life should be lived in a pure manner inside out.

Punjab: Amritsar, Bathinda and Firozpur Zones

Here is a synopsis of the inspiring messages of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, as delivered during the virtual Samagam of Punjab, as held on 8th September, 2021.

1. Those who have aligned their thoughts with divinity, enjoy the fruit of true bliss. Otherwise, life is lived aimlessly in falsehood of impermanent world. This wisdom is always received from saints and sages, who provide right direction to life.

2. Once, a truck was carrying 200 cycle tyres to some place. One tyre of the truck got punctured. There was no spare tyre also. All the tyres on the truck were of no use, as they could not fit the truck. Likewise, when we face a problem and take refuge in judgements and negative thoughts, we will not find a fitting solution; rather, we might digress from the righteous path. But, an enlightened one will always take support of Sewa, Simran and Satsang, finding solution to every problem faced in life. Brahmgyan is the right fit for every challenge.

3. A devotee always prays for permanence in faith, so that the train of life remains on the track of righteousness.

4. Even if someone does not reciprocate our kind gestures and feelings, we should continue with goodness in our heart and action. This is the quality of a Brahmgyani. The mind will obviously try to be clever but, we have to win it over.

5. Many a times, people see that a certain person is prosperous even after being dishonest. Such a path is lucrative and people start following it myopically, without realising that those using unfair practices, might not even be sleeping in peace. Thus, the path of truth and honesty as shown by saints is the right path.

6. Some people take refuge of intoxicants, citing reasons and excuses for their stress. This eventually becomes a habit and an addiction. We have to be vigilant of intoxicant addictions and also of ego addiction. To say that my circumstances have forced me into such habits and I consume intoxicants to feel relaxed is nothing but, a lame excuse. There will certainly be people who face even worse situations but, take support of Nirankar and Sadh Sangat, rather than such weaker options.

7. May God bless all to remain connected to Sadh Sangat and also serve humanity with a divine vision, as the world is nothing but, the extended form of Sadh Sangat.

Here is a synoptic compilation of the blissful messages of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, as delivered during the virtual Sunday Satsang of 29th August, 2021

1. Today, we are also remembering the life and teachings of Nirankari Rajmata Ji, who held Gurmat in very high esteem; above every materialistic aspect of life. She spread the message of Truth along with complete fulfilment of her worldly duties. She observed the doctrines of devotion selflessly without letting her relationships in Guru Parivar affect the same in any way. 

2. Rajmata ji and Mata Savinder ji lived inspirational lives, which are footsteps for us to follow.

3. Devotion lies not in religious transformation but, rather in the transformation of our thoughts. Numerous people read different scriptures; which are undoubtedly sacred. But, the benefit of these can be attained only if we follow their message.

4. A true devotee’s words match their actions without any pretentious or misleading expression. The one who carries tears in eyes but, malice in heart, cannot be a true devotee.

5. It is often said we need reformers who can reform themselves. Before we say or guide someone; it is important to translate the same through our deeds.

6. If someone has been devoid of love and affection in life, they should try to share the love they had always seeked from others, rather than holding any grudge. For those who have received love and respect in life, all they need to do is share it in greater magnitude.

7. At times, when people do not receive the same treatment as they have meted out to others, they start blaming destiny or God for it. But, a true devotee instead remains in gratitude of God. He gives benefit of doubt to others, maintaining that they might be facing some challenge in their emotional or circumstantial condition.

8. Like the difference in the fingers of our hand and like the differences of various organs of the same body, people in the world have different behaviours. But, that does not make them good or bad. It is the vices that are to be avoided not people. Rather than pointing fingers at others, it is better to accept people.

9. Before sharing a bitter fact with someone; we can share our disturbed state of mind before hand and seek forgiveness in advance. If our discussions our held at ethereal level, we can avoid differences in relationships.

10. The scriptures mention that God made man in his own image. If we are the light of God then, that divinity should be evident on our face. Let us always keep a positive approach to things and surrender every action to Nirankar. Listening to baseless negative things and spreading them is harmful for us. Before we share or forward something, we should ascertain its genuineness.

11. We should share the grief of others with empathy and use our wisdom which is bestowed by God. If we can’t speak something good, it is better to remain silent. We have to walk on the path of Sewa, Simran and Satsang with realisation of God. Let us posses, saintly qualities and inspire others to do that too. May Nirankar bless all.

Canada: Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Windsor and Atlanta

Here are some life changing messages from the holy discourse of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, as delivered during the virtual overseas Samagam of East Canada on 27th August, 2021.

1. After receiving Brahmgyan, a devotee remains immersed in Nirankar’s remembrance. He loves himself and the world around him; giving his life a beautiful meaning. He becomes a blessing for himself and everyone he meets; being full of human values.

2. An enlightened soul celebrates the differences that exist in this world. If we share a beautiful picture of nature in some social media group and ask everyone to earmark their choicest element; we will get varied opinions. Some will say they like the mountains; some will like the trees and some rivers etc. Likewise, we may have individual likes and dislikes in the world but, eventually it is all a part of one beautiful picture created by God. A Brahmgyani loves all with this understanding.

3. The behavior of a person has many dimensions. We might like one and not the other. Those with the vision of Gyan and wisdom, focus on the good in others rather than finding faults in them.

4. When we zoom in on a digital picture, we see that the picture gets pixelated and thus, unclear. The same picture, when zoomed out, once again becomes clear and beautiful. Similarly, if we just focus on finding mistakes in others, then we will end up disliking them, without noticing the multifold good virtues in them.

5. Saints always seek benefit from the goodness in others. They draw a veil over the faults of others, rather than tarnishing their image. If they find some difference of opinion with someone, they make an effort to sit together and find a common solution.

6. Whenever we find a fault in others, we should pray to Nirankar to grant wisdom to all. This way, we can lead a friendly and cordial life at home, office and other places.

7. We need to mould our mind to make wise choices based on awareness and wisdom, so that we make decisions in the right direction. We should do Sewa and Simran with a pure heart. The lap of mother-like Satsang is always a source of bliss. We have to become large hearted; ignoring and forgiving mistakes of others, thus offering respect and honour to everyone.

‘VRIKSHA KI CHHAYA VIRDHA KA SAYA’

– Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj

Delhi, August 21, 2021: Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj launched the Forest Plantation Campaign today by designating the concept ‘Urban Tree Cluster’ in the name of ‘Oneness वन (Oneness Forest).

Under this project, around 350 selected locations in 280 cities across 22 states across India. In which about 1,50,000 trees were planted. Tree Clusters  planted in urban and semi urban areas in Delhi and other parts of the country and maintained for the next three years. These numbers may increase in the coming years.

Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj Inaugurated this campaign and said, to sustain life on earth we need to care of the tree in the environment which give us lifesaving  oxygen and help to maintain the ecological balance. As Oneness Van depicts unity in diversity with different types of trees making a thick forest similarly human kind should also rise above all biasness and make the world a better place to live in.

Mata Sudiksha Ji mentioned about the world Senior Citizen’s Day today saying that tree are as necessary and vital in our life as our elder family member.

Currently, when the entire world is seized with the problem of Global Warming, the importance of Tree Plantation has increased even more. Covid-19 Pandemic, has made us all aware of the importance of the invaluable gift of nature i.e., Oxygen. It also made us realize the consequences faced if there is not sufficient amount of oxygen in the air. Remember that the human body depends on oxygen which we obtain from trees.

Guided by the Message of ‘Beautiful Earth, Healthy Living’ Sant Nirankari Mission took initiatives to maintain the level of oxygen to keep the environment clean and the earth plush with greenery all around, maintaining its natural beauty.

In this Campaign, in addition to Sant Nirankari Mission, Central and State Government agencies, Local Authorities, Educational Institutes and R.W.A Society will also participate. Under the Environmental Protection Act many different plants will be planted in different parts of India according to their climatic and geographical conditions.

As we all know Sant Nirankari Mission is a Global Spiritual Mission which follows the ideology of Harmony in Unity, Love, Human Values and believes in the act of righteousness.

Sant Nirankari Mission is also working for protection of the environment. From time to time across the country campaigns like tree plantation, their conservation, water conservation, waste management and non-use of plastic are initiated.

Apart from this, Sant Nirankari Mission has always been prompt in the service to mankind. Amidst the prevailing Pandemic conditions of Covid-19, the Mission converted its various Satsang Bhawans across the country into Covid Care Centres for the treatment of infected patients and made it available to the Government. Arrangements of meals and necessities were being arranged for the patients and those accompanying by the Sant Nirankari Mission while, the medical facilities are being taken care by the Government. In continuance, a 1000 bed Covid Care Center is constructed at Ground Number 8, Burari road, Delhi. Apart from this Panchkula, Pune, Panipat, Yamuna Nagar, Mumbai etc. have constructed Covid Care Centres and are made available to the Government. All these services still continue.

Noteworthy; the joint effort by the Sant Nirankari Mission and ‘Give Me Tree Organization’ laid the foundation of environmental protection. In the last 44 years more than 3.25 crores trees are planted by ‘Give Me Tree Organization’.

The collaboration of Sant Nirankari Mission and ‘Give Me Tree Organization’ will help the Nation give a new dimension in protecting the environment.

Every year on 15th August, Sant Nirankari Mission organizes Mukti Parv Diwas; like always this year too this special occasion was organized on a virtual platform. On this day, recognition and honor is given to all Indian freedom fighters that secured independence for the country. Alongside, we humbly express our reverence and gratitude for the Divine powers embodied in the form of Shahenshah Baba Avtar Singh Ji, Jagat Mata Budhwanti Ji, Nirankari Rajmata Kulwant Kaur Ji, Satguru Mata Savinder Hardev Ji and many devotees who saved the mankind from bondages and showed us the path of salvation. On this day we reminisce and try to take inspiration from their priceless contributions.

Devotees from all over the world very earnestly wait for this Annual Spiritual Congregation, to participate as well as seek blessings from their Satguru. Not just that, with great intent they look forward to listen to the beautiful expressions of the divine love in the form of poetry, songs and speeches of the devotees who participate from different parts of the world. On seeing so much enthusiasm and holistic expression of devotion, Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj blessed us by announcing the dates of 74th International Nirankari Sant Samagam as 27th, 28th, 29th November, 2021. With the Divine Grace, each one of us will exemplify to humanity; how with compassion for one another, by being in connection with Nirankar and with total surrender to the Divine will, one can achieve eternal joy and peace.

Maharashtra: Kolhapur, Sholapur, Chiplun, Pune, Satara, Warsa and Kharsai Zones

Here are some life changing messages from the Holy Discourse of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, as delivered by Her Holiness during the virtual zonal Samagam of Maharashtra on 18th August 2021.

1. A Gursikh always gives priority to Nirankar in his life. Every action done with mindful remembrance of the Almighty God, with a pure heart and correct intentions, is blessed. This keeps our mind free from cleverness and selfishness. Saints always become a boon for all and wish good for all.

2. A project by the name of Oneness Vann is being organised by the Mission for the benefit of humankind on 21st August. If we have trees, we will have oxygen and presence of oxygen makes it easier for us to breathe. We should likewise always remember Nirankar effortlessly.

3. We should try to remember God without falling prey to thoughts of materialistic world. When we have to do something that interests us, say watch a movie, we give our 100 percent attention to it. If our mind gets inclined towards Nirankar, then Simran will also become blissful.

4. It is said that excess of everything is bad. But, Sewa, Simran and Satsang have unlimited benefits for us even when done to the optimum level. We also have to give appropriate time to our profession and work etc, as they are essential to take care of our family responsibilities. Leaving worldly duties for devotion is not the right practice. We can certainly establish a balance between the material and spiritual practices. When we perform our worldly duties with remembrance of Nirankar, then our work also becomes worship.

5. When we realise our responsibility and do every act with positive intention, the reward is joyous. Our contribution is blessed if our intention is pious, like that of the squirrel who carried small stones to serve, or for that matter like that of the bird, who sprinkled little water from its wet wings to douse the forest fire. Contribution should not be gauged by quantity or volume, rather by the intention with which it is made.

6. If a Brahmgyani faces any ups and downs in life, he doesn’t blame it on destiny or karma, because the chains of karma are broken when we receive Brahmgyan. A devotee thus tries to maintain stability of mind. He prays for strength to face any and every challenge in life, rather than being an escapist.

7. We should put our heart and soul into every Sewa given to us; being watchful of even the minutest aspect. At times the monotonous routine of Sewa makes us complacent or careless, but this can be damaging also. Thus, we have to perform every Sewa with sincerity and awareness. If we can’t do the Sewa in the anticipated way, we might as well hand it over to someone else who can do it in a better way.

8. May Nirankar bless all with a sense of gratitude and regular practice of Sewa Simran and Satsang, so that each may become a boon for humanity.

Here is the summary of the divine words from the holy discourses of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, as blessed on 15th August, 2021 on the occasion of ‘Mukti Parv’:

1. Today, along with ‘Mukti Parv’, India’s Independence Day is also being celebrated. Everyone likes freedom; be it freedom of thoughts or freedom of actions. But, we need to enjoy this freedom, by imbibing the rules and laws of the country, we live in.

2. If we talk about freedom of soul, we need to see, how we are utilizing this freedom. Our Satgurus and saints, whom we remembered today, had to sacrifice a lot for this. Being vast and divine; their life as well as death was a celebration. Hence, on the occasion of ‘Mukti Parv’, we are remembering their life in the form of a festival.

3. A poet wrote a film song, the lines of which were – ‘Relieve me from me, so that I can see myself’. Here seeing myself doesn’t mean physical view; that is possible in a mirror also. Infact, we are talking about the soul, which is our everlasting identity and is a form of this colorless, boundless and all pervading God (Nirankar). While living in this body also, we can be free from realization of living in body. God realized people live this life, by staying liberated from the body.

4. Physical identity is temporary; spiritual identity is everlasting. Realizing God and staying within it, is salvation. All saints and sages have always repeated this truth and also took its support. 

5. If we talk about Jagat Mata Ji, Raj Mata Ji or Satguru Mata Savinder Hardev Ji, all of them served humanity by becoming a symbol of respect and empowerment of women. They served with love and compassion. They proved, that be it a male or a female; the same divine light (God) dwells in all.

6. Today, we remembered many devotees also. It would not be possible to take everyone’s names and there would be many such saints, who lived their life in devotion, in the supreme way, without showing off or coming in the fore front. Today is the day to remember them too. The lives of all the saints, be it from old or new times, who dedicated their life on the path of truth, are worth a celebration.

7. It is often prayed that may we live the last breath of our life while rendering selfless service (Sewa). Many saints merged in Almighty while doing selfless service (Sewa). But, those who remain engaged in other activities but, remembered God (Nirankar); they also surely attained salvation. Today we have to take inspiration from all these liberated souls, who overcame every test of life, by taking support of God.

8. Many a times it is prayed that may we pass the tests of life without facing them. If this complete and powerful God is with us, then why to fear any test? Why should we not pray that whatever test comes our way, we should have enough faith, wisdom and strength to overcome that situation.

9. May God bless everyone with liberation while living in this life and everyone keep treading on the path of devotion.

South Zone UK: East London; West London; Oxford; Bedford; Hitchen; and Northampton

Here are some life changing messages from the holy discourse of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, as delivered during the 13th August virtual Samagam of UK (South Zone)

1.  A devotee achieves every small and big thing in life on the basis of Gyan, Sewa, Simran and Satsang. He always remains humble and grateful. We get to learn these human values even in school as a child but, then why are we still talking about imbibing them, after having grown up? This is because worldly attachments do not let us follow them in our practical life.

2. At times we form an opinion and judge others and as a result refrain from meeting them. But, when we meet them, we usually find that our assumptions about them were baseless. Likewise, sometimes we avoid going to satsang because we find certain aspects of another devotee disturbing; hence we are at a loss of wisdom.

3. We have to be large hearted by avoiding and overlooking trivial matters. Rather than talking about someone, it’s better to talk to them and find a common and amicable solution.

4. It is seen quite often, especially when we visit overseas nations that priority is given to relationships and friendships with people who share common cultural habits as ours. But, then how, are we going to spread the message of God Knowledge with the natives of those countries? It’s time that we count this as our duty and spread this Divine message everywhere.

5. Every saint is praying for conditions to become normal. It is sincerely prayed that may things become conducive for Satsangs to begin, so that saints can enjoy the bliss of Satsang along with seeking the blessings from each other’s lotus feet.

6. Corona has given us a lot of time to interact with children and youth at home. Our communication should be positive and productive, with an aim to both listen to them and also share our thoughts. It’s obviously a two way process. To impose our ideology on youth is not the right way.

7. We should not refrain from logic in our conversations. Though, Brahmgyan is above all logic but, it is so complete within itself that every logic arises from it. Thus, it is very much possible to talk to youth with logic and faith. 8. May Nirankar bless everyone with kindness, humility and gratitude in life. May all live in bliss and also become a boon for mankind.

Here is summary of life changing messages from the holy discourse of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, as blessed during the virtual Samagam on Sunday, 8th August, 2021.

1. A child is born with a pure mind. There is no feeling of discrimination or condemnation in his mind towards anyone. But, as we age due to various influences, we form different misconceptions and assumptions about others. Only the Divine Knowledge (Brahmgyan) can curb these.

2. We were given 5 pledges before taking the Divine Knowledge (Brahmgyan). In the second pledge, it was explained that we should not hate or condemn anyone on the basis of caste, creed or religion. Nor should any such identity, be a reason for pride. Your thoughts may be good but, don’t impose them on others. We should see one God in everyone.

3. A youth raised a question during NYS, that if we have to live life rising above caste, then what is the need to use surname with name? Whether to use surname or not, may be a personal choice but, its real purpose should be identification, not pride . Names only facilitate identification. If all men are named as ‘A’ and all women are named ‘B’, how difficult it would be to identify everyone. Names are merely for purpose of identification.

4. We have no right to consider our caste as high and others’ caste as low. Taking pride in considering one’s caste as high or having feeling of guilt or depression by considering one’s caste as low; both are incorrect .

5. It is mentioned in Hardev Bani that ‘Hardev says, if you do not refrain from backbiting (Ninda), you will be called a backbiter (Nindak) and devotion will also be lost’. Hence, we are not to look down upon others with condemnation or hatred on any ground. Spreading a word about others, with any motive or trick in mind, is not a sign of a devotee . The basis of devotion should only be teachings of Guru (Gurumat).

6. If we are broad minded, such narrow minded thoughts will not come in mind. Sometimes we have same outlook towards relationships as well. Be it man or woman, all are free to choose their partner. We have no right to point fingers at others. Everyone has their own thinking; whatever they choose is fine. Relationships are anyhow related to soul .

7. We have already dedicated our body, mind and wealth to God in the first pledge; so how can we be proud of it? If we consider God (Nirankar) and True Master (Guru) close to us, then we will be saved from wrong thinking or action. Without depicting our shrewdness by getting entangled in small things, we are to adopt broadmindedness and have a broad vision .

8. We should have positive thoughts in mind and stay alert; it’s then only that we can lead a life full of devotion. We should not fall under the category of a backbiter (Nindak). With the Divine Knowledge (Brahmgyan) as priority, God (Nirankar) should be our point of focus.

United Stated of America -East Coast

Here are some blissful excerpts from the holy discourse of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, as delivered during the virtual overseas Samagam of United States of America (East Coast) on 6th August, 2021.

1. We should practice what we preach. Our words should also manifest as our actions. They should become an integral part of our character.

2. Character is built by habits and habits are formed by our repeated actions. Actions, in turn are created by our thoughts. Thus, our focus should always be on good and positive thoughts. If we make Brahmgyan as the basis of our thoughts and think about the welfare of everyone, our deeds and subsequently our character will certainly become good.

3. Today, we were listening to a song, where the lyrics meant that why do we get sad, when we know that whatever happens, happens for the good. Perhaps because we don’t see God’s will in the outcome. If we witness God’s grace in every outcome, then the mind will remain content.

4. Contentment does not mean inaction. The Almighty God has given us freedom to do our deeds and we have to perform all our duties with hardwork and wisdom, leaving the result to the will and grace of Nirankar.

5. We have been given Brahmgyan to free ourselves from illusions and vices. If we continue to follow them, then Gyan is of no use.

6. We should always improve our character through self improvement and by removing vices from our nature. Earlier, vices were limited to judgements on the basis of caste, language, culture etc. but, with changing times, man has developed new parameters of such differences. People don’t talk to others thinking that they are intellectually superior but, we have to rise above all such differences.

7. Social media is also becoming very active these days. Many influencers share their thoughts and ideas about certain things in society and most of the people follow them with mob mentality. An enlightened person adopts something only after prudent thinking. We should first observe everything on the basis of Brahmgyan and wisdom; lest we fall prey to herd mentality. 8. May Nirankar bless all with strong faith, with focus on Sewa, Simran and Satsang. Not only our words but, our actions should also be an active part of our preachings.
