On the pious occasion of the MSG Bhandara of 134th Incarnation Day of Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj, a grand and joy-filled congregation was held at Dera Sacha Sauda, Sirsa (Haryana). People from across India and abroad gathered with hearts full of devotion, gratitude, and celebration. The atmosphere was overflowing with happiness—faces lit with faith, eyes glimmering with love, and voices resounding with devotion.

The day began with Ardas, offered in collective devotion, which filled the entire Darbar with a deep sense of peace, gratitude, and spiritual warmth. The atmosphere became serene, and every heart felt connected in remembrance.

Following this, the congregation continued with Shabad Vaani (Holy hymns) and the holy sermons of Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan. The divine hymns elevated the soul, while the sermons renewed the spirit with guidance on living a life of purity, compassion, and devotion.

After the holy sermons, a documentary on Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj was shown, sharing glimpses of His Holiness’s life, grace, and the spiritual transformation He sparked. It also highlighted His  sermon,  “One day, there will be so many devotees that even if a plate is thrown far, it will not touch the ground”—a prophecy now seen fulfilled in the third body, as the sangat continues to grow in countless numbers across the world.

As the celebration continued, the sangat joyfully danced to the devotional Shabad of Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, filled with uplifting beats and a powerful message against drug addiction. Gradually, the vibrant energy softened into stillness as the entire gathering entered collective meditation. From music and joy to silence and depth — the transition itself felt divine. In that shared silence, thousands experienced inner peace, reflection, and a profound connection with the eternal.

Despite lakhs of devotees arriving, the entire gathering remained highly disciplined. The traffic, seating, and movement arrangements were so well-organized that not even a moment of chaos was seen—reflecting the deep values of order, respect, and unity nurtured in the sangat.

Throughout the day, langar was lovingly served, and Bundi Prashad was distributed among all. Each devotee felt the divine joy of sharing. Thousands of devotees participated in the preparation and serving of food as , setting up drinking water stall, directing the traffic, assisting the senior citizens etc. as acts of seva, reflecting the values of humility and service taught since the inception of the Dera.

Legacy of Selfless Service Continues

Since 1948, when Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj laid the sacred foundation of Dera Sacha Sauda, the path of selflessness, compassion, meditation, and humanity began — a path that continues unbroken even today. Over time, more than 7 crore devotees across the world have taken Guru Mantra (Naam) and embraced this way of life, practicing meditation and serving humanity as their core values. To mark this holy day, 134 blankets were distributed to those in need, symbolizing warm love and care for every life.

It was Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj who taught that the true purpose of life is to rise above the cycle of birth and death through meditation and to live a life guided by kindness, truth, simplicity, and service. He ignited in humanity the understanding that real peace is experienced when we think of others before ourselves.

Campaign Against Drugs – From Foundation to DEPTH Movement

Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj strongly opposed intoxication of any kind and guided seekers to keep the mind pure so the soul could connect to God. This message continued in the third body, through Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji, who reinforced this teaching with even greater urgency in today’s times.

Seeing how youth were suffering due to addiction, He started the powerful DEPTH Campaign (Drug Eradication Pan-India Through Health and Meditation) — reaching villages, cities, schools, and families to save young lives and bring them back to dignity and purpose.

He reminds the world that true bliss does not come from alcohol, drugs, or substances, but from devotion and meditation — from turning inward, not outward. Addressing the youth affected by addiction, Saint Dr. MSG teaches:

“Sacha Nasha, Rab da Naam da hai. Rab de Naam da Nasha kabhi utarta nahi.”

The teaching has always been consistent:

All religions are unanimously against intoxicants, non-vegetarianism, and immorality —

and even science now confirms that meat consumption significantly increases the risk of colonic and intestinal cancer.

A pure diet and a pure mind lead to a pure life.

Under His guidance, lakhs of youth have left drugs forever, found new direction, repaired relationships, restarted careers, and rediscovered the joy of living.

This celebration was not just a gathering — it was a living experience of devotion, joy, unity, and transformation. The same Light that began with Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj continues today — unbroken, unchanged, eternal.
