Why did Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers choose Gurugram for the campaign?
Dera Sacha Sauda’s current spiritual master, the Revered Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan spent 21 days of His furlough at Gurugram. His pious stay made DSS volunteers honor the land of Gurugram. They were granted permission by the respective authorities to conduct a Cleanliness Campaign there to show their holy respect towards their master.
What guided DSS volunteers towards the great welfare work of cleanliness campaign?
The followers of DSS have given their best in serving mankind in every way possible. But genuinely, it would have not been possible without the great guidance and support of their chief, Saint Dr. MSG. The Cleanliness Campaign a.k.a. ‘MahaSafayi Abhiyaan’ was initiated by Him in September 2011 in Delhi. The other campaigns took place in various cities like Panipat, Rishikesh, Kaithal, Karnal, Noida, Jodhpur, Mumbai, etc. With His ultimate teachings, millions of devotees had put a success to this campaign 33 times and now the count has reached 34 with the recent one.
Purpose behind 34th mega cleanliness campaign
“Ho Prithvi Saaf, Mite Rog Abhishaap!”
It means “Cleanse the planet Earth, to remove Diseases and Curse!”
The main agenda behind initiating this campaign was to clean the environment. The drives have promoted the idea of hygiene and reduced the unnecessary garbage of the surroundings. The Mega Earth Cleanliness Campaigns are carried out to spread the awareness of a clean and green environment among people.
Also, the purpose for this 34th Cleanliness Campaign was to pay tribute to the holy land of Gurugram as the revered chief of DSS stayed for 21 days there during furlough.
How did the mega cleanliness campaign start?
There was no surprise in the gathering of lakhs of volunteers at Gurugram as it is common among Dera Sacha Sauda followers to carry out welfare works at this large scale. The timing for the drive was from 9 a.m. and devotees from various places reached before time. They all gathered at the different areas of the city as appointed to them. The campaign was initiated by reciting the holy prayer.
The dedication of lakhs of volunteers in cleanse campaign was unmatchable
Any volunteer may he/she be a teenager, adult, or senior citizen; well qualified or of bare minimum knowledge; belonged to a richer section or middle class; perfectly fine or physically disabled, literally left no stone unturned in giving their best to this drive. Their consistent efforts astonished the residents of Gurugram.
There was no hesitation for them to get into the Sewage or gutters and clean public places. The passion for hygiene was remarkable as they collected dried leaves and removed unwanted waste from the environment of Gurugram. The garbage collected was being sent to landfill sites, far away from public places.
All the precautionary measures and covid protocols were followed by the volunteers. There was a huge difference between before and after the drive in the surroundings of the unhygienic places.
People from the farthest places reached the city to honor the land of Gurugram and showed their utmost respect towards their Guru.
Reaction of local residents of Gurugram on witnessing cleanliness campaign by DSS
Nowadays, it is common to see someone polluting the environment by throwing plastic waste here and there. But to see someone cleaning the environment and spreading the message of cleanliness is something which is rarely seen. The count was not of some Hundreds or thousands of people, but 4 lakh people carried out the drive of Cleanliness at Gurugram.
The residents of Gurugram were astonished as well as proud at this selfless deed of DSS. They were surprised to see the enthusiasm among volunteers for the welfare of society. Not only this, the respect and devotion among followers for their chief also left them speechless.
With the pious guidance and blessings of Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan and the significant contribution by the volunteers, the 34th Mega Cleanliness Campaign proved to be a great success!
