Nawanshahr, February 12 - The 648th Prakash Utsav of revolutionary leader, musician of dreams of Begumpura, Sahib-e-Kamal Satguru Ravidas Maharaj Ji was celebrated with devotion at the Charan Sparsh Bhoomi of Shri Guru Ravidas Maharaj Ji, Charan Chhoh Ganga Amritkund, Sachkhand Shri Kharalgarh Sahib. In today's program, Deputy Speaker of Punjab Assembly Jai Krishna Singh Raudi, Chairman of Punjab State Container and Warehousing Corporation Dr. Shankhwinder Kumar Sankhi, MLA Banga were the chief guests and Sohan Lal Dhanda, Garlal Saila, Editor of Punjabi Jagran Shri Varinder Singh Walia, Deputy Chief Reporter Jatinder Kumar Pammi and many other leaders reached Guru Ghar as special guests, who were specially honored by the Guru Ghar Managing Committee.
Addressing the gathering present on the occasion, Deputy Speaker of Punjab Assembly Jai Krishna Singh Raudi said that the land where Satguru Ravidas Maharaj Ji preached humanity, where there is Amritkund, where there is the place of penance of Guru Ravidas Maharaj Ji, that land has sent him to Punjab Assembly. The philosophy of Messiah of humanity and great revolutionary Shiromani Shri Guru Ravidas Maharaj is not only religious or social, but is also a symbol of creation of socialism.
The right to live for all, destruction of Dalits, Udasi, untouchability and atrocities and restoration of humanity was the objective of the life and struggle of Guru Ravidas Ji. The revolutionary hymns of the founder of the era Shri Guru Ravidas Ji, who fought against atrocities, excesses, discrimination and unnecessary religious ostentation throughout his life, gave birth to the ego of socialism many centuries ago.
Chairman of Punjab State Container and Warehousing Corporation, Dr. Shankhwinder Kumar Sankhi MLA Banga said that in the life struggle and philosophy of Shri Guru Ravidas Ji, a decisive glimpse of the reflections and fundamental social, political, religious and social changes is clearly visible. It is a matter of great sadness that the Dalits of the society not only tried to destroy the valuable revolutionary philosophy of Guru Ravidas Ji by linking miraculous events with his life, but also destroyed the information about his family life.
His Gurbani was printed wrongly and presented in a distorted manner as part of a conspiracy. The birth anniversary of Shiromani Shri Guru Ravidas Ji Maharaj, the messiah of social and religious revolution born in the medieval period, is being celebrated with great reverence and enthusiasm in every corner of the world. Guru Ravidas Ji, with a face engulfed with the aura of spirituality, spent his life and struggle spreading the rays of consciousness like a revolutionary. The nectar of Bani composed by him, along with giving the joy of spirituality, also gives the message of ending the darkness of discrimination, casteism, superstition and religious ostentation prevailing in the society.
Apart from the above leaders, Punjabi Jagran editor Varinder Singh Walia, Deputy Chief Reporter Jatinder Kumar Pammi, Sohan Lal Dhanda, Garlal Saila, Sarpanch Balveer Singh Simbli, Sarpanch Galshan Thakur, Sarpanch Jaswinder Singh Moila Wahidpur, Sarpanch Hardev Singh Dhada, Naresh Rana Sarpanch Mahhindwani, Charanjit Channi, Guru Ghar Management Committee leader Sant Surinder Das, Sant Karam Chand, Sant Girdhari Lal, Manjit Mangalwal, Surinder Fauji, Ram Asra were present on this occasion.
Subedar Bhajan Lal Bassi, DSP Harbans Singh, Jagdish DC, Ravinder Gangar, Surinder Rajasthani were specially honoured.
