Pledges taken by Dera followers in the Incarnation Months

The followers of Dera Sacha Sauda have started a new tradition to bring a change in the society by bringing change in their own selves first. The whole idea was born by the inspiration of Revered Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, when His Holiness asked the devotees to leave their vices every day, if they want to gift something to HIM in the Incarnation Months. Adhering to the teachings of Revered Guru Ji then, the devotees earnestly did the same and thus, the new custom begun from November 2013 wherein devotees introspect the evil habits within their self and then, voluntarily pledge in front of His Holiness to quit them.

Since Nov 2013, the devotees of Dera Sacha Sauda have taken oath to quit near about 50 bad habits during the Incarnation Months of Revered Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj & Param Pita Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj.
