Chandigarh/ Samalkha, October 23, 2026: “True awakening comes when a person experiences the presence of the Divine at every moment and embraces spirituality as an integral part of life.” These inspiring words were expressed by Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj during the Message to Humanity on the first day of the 79th Annual Nirankari Sant Samagam.

The four-day Sant Samagam, being held from October 23 to 26, commenced with deep devotion and spiritual enthusiasm under the divine presence of Revered Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj and Nirankari Rajpita Ramit Ji. Millions of devotees from India and abroad are participating in this sacred gathering, seeking the divine blessings and benefiting from the spiritual teachings of Satguru.

Thousands of devotees from Chandigarh and the Tricity region are participating in the 79th Annual Nirankari Sant Samagam, along with members of the Sadh Sangat and the Sewadal.

During the Message to Humanity on the inaugural day, Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj explained that the fundamental purpose of saints and devotees coming together from across the world is to sustain spiritual awakening within the human mind, enabling everyone to live each moment with complete awareness and a constant realisation of the Divine.

Satguru Mata Ji emphasised that every individual should fulfil their duties and responsibilities towards their home, family, society and nation with sincerity, while also becoming a responsible and conscious global citizen. True humanity lies in rising above differences of caste, language, region and temperament, and accepting every human being with love, respect and a sense of belonging.

Satguru Mata Ji further explained that genuine spiritual awakening is not confined to thoughts or outward appearances; it must also be reflected in our conduct, behaviour and social responsibilities. Spiritual awareness is not limited to a particular moment or occasion but is a feeling to be nurtured throughout life. Regardless of circumstances, accepting the Divine Will and living every moment as a blessing with joy, contentment and gratitude is the essence of true spirituality.

At the Samagam venue, Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj was warmly welcomed by Shri Sukhdev Singh Ji, General Secretary of Sant Nirankari Mandal, who presented a bouquet, while the Mandal’s President, Smt. Rajkumari Ji, offered a floral garland. Nirankari Rajpita Ramit Ji was welcomed by Shri S. L. Garg, who presented a bouquet, and Shri H.S. Chawla, who offered a floral garland.

Thereafter, Satguru Mata Ji and Nirankari Rajpita Ji were seated in an open palanquin beautifully adorned with flowers and taken in a grand procession through the centre of the Samagam pavilion to the main stage. On this occasion, more than 600 students of the Nirankari Institute of Music and Arts (NIMA) presented Bharatanatyam performances and melodious welcome songs, offering a heartfelt tribute to the divine couple.

The entire atmosphere was filled with devotion, love and spiritual bliss.
