Guru Pooja Diwas Samagam

With the blessings of His Holiness Satguru Baba Hardev Singh ji Maharaj "Guru Puja Diwas" was celebrated by the Seattle Sangat with great devotion and dedication on Feb 23, 2010 at one of the local saint’s residence. The congregation was presided by Rev. Atul Batra ji from California.

The program opened with recitation of verses from Avtar Bani followed by devotional group songs and speeches. Kavi darbar added colors to the congregation in which kids also participated in praise of the formless Nirankar and importance of the Guru Puja Diwas.

Rev Anjana ji, one of the local saint emphasized on the importance of Guru by saying that Guru is one of the form of this Formless God. She enumerated that earth, sky, stars, sun, moon etc. are the powers of this Formless God who is the main source and we need to connect ourselves with this source (the creator) and not the power (the creation). This can be attained only with the grace of True Master.

Presiding from the stage, Rev.Atul Batra Ji spoke on the importance of Satguru who connects us to the almighty Lord. He stressed that the true gift to H.H. on his birthday is following his teachings and living life of a true saint. He emphasized the importance of complete surrender to Nirankar in order to attain salvation. He further explained that God is an infinite circle and the need is to connect with this infinite source of energy, otherwise one is incomplete.

All enjoyed the bliss being showered by the grace of Satguru on the congregation and prayed for being blessed with selfless service and devotion to the Formless Lord.
