The idea of Eco-Friendly Diwali must be promoted.

Every year, people burn crackers and there is a lot of sounds and air pollution. Some minutes of enjoyment can harm innocent animals for a lifetime. These animals get scared, some birds get disturbed with their paths, the smoke chokes them, and many more. What is the meaning of such a celebration that can cause harm to others? More to this, our Environment gets dirty and polluted. It takes many days after Diwali for the sky to be clearly visible. There are many cases of road accidents because of the smoke-filled air.
This year, let us decide not to follow the usual. Let us plant a tree and try to compensate for the harm we have done to the environment.
A tree can facilitate humanity for many years. Let us plant a tree of hope to save the environment this Diwali.

The celebrations are incomplete without welfare

Everyone wants to celebrate festivals with their loved ones. Most people decide to do shopping, decorations, exchange gifts and sweets, organize grand parties, etc. on Diwali. But still, many people can’t afford the luxuries of such celebrations. There are children below the poverty line who just dream of sweets and gifts.
Let us decide to lend a helping hand for such children and people on this Diwali. We can distribute sweets and gifts to them. Providing them with basic needs like food, books, etc. can also be another way.
Various NGOs celebrate Diwali by Welfare. Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers distribute rations, lamps, sweets, etc. to those who need basic facilities. These volunteers celebrate their festivals with them. This is the best way of celebration as it can bring a smile to the one who struggles day and night for survival. Let us try to illuminate the houses of those who can’t afford those lights. Such celebration gives one the real joy and peace that we usually search for.

Because cleanliness is always next to godliness.

People usually clean their homes and offices during Diwali days. It is believed that we can remove our vices by removing the dirt out. Most of the parasites, flies, etc are removed from the living areas and hygiene is promoted. Thus there are fewer chances of getting infections and diseases.
But there are people who not only believe in their houses and offices but also society. Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers run cleanliness campaigns at their block, district, state, and national level in every way possible. They aim to make the country Clean INDIA. Such campaigns by volunteers are the scenes that can leave one astonished. These people clean roads, bus and railway stations, public buildings, and even toilets and sewerage. Salutes to the courage they have that inspires them to work sp selflessly for humanity.

Let us Be Indians by buying Indian

From the last decades, foreign lamps and decorative items are very popular in Indian Markets.
In the glamour of foreign lamps, we Indians got so engrossed that we forgot what Deepawali actually means. Deepawali means the “deepon ki maala” that is a row of diyas {earthern lamps}.
Deewali is the festival in the whole year when the potters can earn the most. We must support the locals and contribute to our economy. This is much needed after this whole pandemic situation.
Moreover, when we lit a clay lamp, it kills the bacteria and harmful microbes around. Clay lamps can thus protect us from a lot of diseases. In ancient times the clay lamps were lit with ghee, mustard oil, olive oil. When these oils are burned in clay lamps, it purifies the environment. Hence it is also a symbol of goodness.

Let us kill the demon of negativity from within.

A lot of historical and religious incidents are attached to this festival. the nutshell of every story is about the triumph of Goodness over evil. In the modern era, the meaning of festivals has taken a new shape. People have forgotten the reason to celebrate and thus celebrate these holy festivals to fulfill theirs on wishes. It is seen that many people drink alcohol and gamble on this day. Diwali is a pious festival with a great religious significance. Indulging in vulgar activities pretending to celebrate the festival is a sin.
this Diwali, let us decide to kill the demon inside us. Let us decide to remove our bad habits from our lives. Let us do the actual cleanliness of our souls. This is what all religions aim – cleansing of the soul. Let us make the gods we worship pleased by following the true path of goodness and humanity.

The one who makes all festivals meaningful

Dera Sacha Sauda is a family of millions and Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan is head of this family. His Holiness has taught the true way of celebration by serving humanity. Guruji teaches that festivals are a way to share happiness with everyone by serving selflessly. Let us all follow his preachings and make Diwali this year a different and memorable one.

National education day: Let’s take action to help our Nation prosper

National education day is celebrated every year on 11 November in remembrance of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad who was a prominent educationalist. Maulana Azad has done many exemplary contributions in Independent India in the field of education. Thus the National Education day provides the opportunity to remember him and his aim of making everyone educated. The day makes us realize the importance of education in national development so that we can take appropriate actions to make our country a literate nation.

What is the role of education towards building a strong nation?

Education is an important element in building a strong nation. The overall progress of a country depends on the literacy rates of its population. Education is the light of awareness in the darkness of ignorance. If people are aware and educated about the socio-economic status of the country, they are living in than there are lot more chances for the country to progress. One learns various social and ethical values being in schools, colleges, etc. The person gets motivated to be a part to build a strong nation. Education makes us aware of our rights as citizens, helps us to chose a noble government. People get aware of laws and thus crime rates can be reduced in society. If quality education is provided, it opens door to various job opportunities thus ending poverty. Well, every citizen must know the basic writing and reading skill.

Childhood is the age of learning.

In India, every child has the right to education irrationally of his caste, gender, or background. But still, many children cannot study because of varied reasons. Some are forced to work in factories, dhabas, restaurants, etc. Child labor is a blur in society. Childhood is the time when a kid blooms. He develops a personality while playing and learning. but sadly many children in India don’t get a chance to bloom and they have carried the burdens of survival at such a tender age.
Dera Sacha Sauda is an organization that has come ahead to save such children. There is a campaign under which volunteers demolish child labor and aware society about this sin too.

The organization that has done great works in the field of education

Dera Sauda is an organization that has a mission to shun evils from the society and build a strong nation for the citizens. Currently, the organization is working on134 humanitarian activities that cover welfare in every field of society. In the field of education, various welfare works are going on by Dera Sacha Sauda.
The foremost step taken by the organization is setting up of educational institutions. These educational institutions provide a world-class education to children and approach an all-round personality development. The worldly as well as spiritual knowledge is provided here to make society as well as a country better. Moreover, these wonderful institutions are set up in rural and remote areas and free education is provided to the poor. The educational institutions have bagged various recognition awards and honors in the field and are the highly ranked institutions of the country.

Education must be provided equally irrespective of gender.

The education of a girl has always been overlooked in Indian society. People don’t want to spend their money and efforts on girls’ education and they are prepared as marriage material since childhood. The orthodox have to be demolished. Girls prove to be better than boys in many fields.
Dera Sacha Sauda has made people aware of how a well-raised girl can bring laurels to the family as well as the nation. Girls from these Educational institutions have made the country proud. The annual results of schools and colleges here are jaw-dropping as there is a long list of meritorious and topper students of the country. In the field of sports girls from these institutes have won several national and international matches and bagged several trophies and medals.

Every child in India should get basic facilities for getting an education.

There are a lot people in the country who are below the poverty line . These people cannot afford two meals a day hence providing education to the children and supporting their expenses is still a dream for them. If some of them somehow manage to send their child to school, then comes the burden for expenses of uniform, stationaries, etc.
Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers have become angels for such people. Dera Volunteers provide free stationery and uniforms to these poor children so that they can study without hesitation. Free Books, shoes are also distributed to the children. These materials are distributed at the block level, especially in remote areas. Such selfless efforts are really appreciable.
Some of them even sponsor their education as much as possible.

Let us spare some time to spread education.

It is said that the more you share your knowledge more it will enhance. In the fast pacing materialistic world, when people don’t have time to look after their own child’s study, many variants provide free tuitions to the poor. These are groups of colleges and employees that are inspired by the teachings of holy Masters of Dera Sacha Sauda. These people visit slums, factories, etc. and search for children who need education. Then they provide these children free tuition classes and teach them basic reading and writing.

An approach to worldly as well as spiritual knowledge

Dera Sacha Sauda is the spiritual college where one learns to be a better person. the one who learns the fundamentals of spirituality never indulges himself in worldly addictions and crimes. The spiritual master in Dera Sacha Sauda, Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan teaches the biggest lesson of humanity. If a country has to progress, worldly as well as spiritual
knowledge; is a must. More than 60 million people are currently connected with the method of meditation that has the power to remove all vices and make the person a better human being.

CONCLUSION

Let us all come forward to take appropriate steps with the aim of making our country developed and educated.

Always respect your elders

Our Indian culture has always been superior in the way we treated our elderly. In Indian families, The eldest member of the family has full decision-making authorization in all family matters. The elderly in India are generally obeyed and considered to be fountains of experience and wisdom, and treated with honor and dignity by family and society.
But it is the modern world, the scenario has changed a lot. These days it has become important to make people realize the importance of respecting the elderly. Whereas there was a time when these values were inborn.

5. The wheel of time keeps moving.
6. Let us not forget our rich traditions
7. The importance of spiritual wisdom in parenting
8. Some tips that can change life
9. Let us pledge to always respect our elders.

The plight of the elderly in the modernized era

With the turbulent changes in society, the respect and honor of the elderly are diminishing. Many of them are forced to leave their houses by their own children. They are obliged to live lives of humiliation, injustice, and isolation. Some of them do not get medical or financial support. According to the report, one out of two elderly suffers abuse in his own family. This scenario is common not only in urban areas but also in rural areas.

What has put the elderly in predicament in India?

The breaking of joint families is one of the reasons for the negligence of the elderly as joint families are where grandparents are respected, loved, and consulted by their grandchildren. An increase in nuclear families, changes in perspectives, the generation gap, etc. are some other reasons. The adoption of western culture has influenced Indian values a lot. People have become more materialistic and values like love, sacrifice, care are diminishing.

Parents are an ocean of unconditional love and care

There are many reasons for children to love their parents, but I think that the most important is because they pour unconditional love into every situation. Parents do many sacrifices without complaining. They become happy when we smile and they are sad if their child has tears in his eyes. Parents give their precious time, money, love, patience, and effort to fulfill their child’s wishes. Parents are always there for their children no matter what even when the child makes mistakes.

The lifelong experience of elders always guides us

Elders have lived life more than us. Throughout their life journey, they have experienced all kinds of hardships and obstacles. They know solutions better than us. They are oceans of wisdom and stories. Yes, life was different earlier times and maybe the problems they faced were different. It is also possible they may not able to walk along with this fast technology world. But still, the values of courage, patience, the responsibility they possess are much better than the younger generation. Those people never get astray from their path who are under the guidance of their elders.
The truth is this that the elders have the treasure of experiences and if the kids live with the elders, they will be able to have a perception about the bonds under our culture and also learn many good traits and habits.

The wheel of time keeps moving.

When a child is born in a family, parents and grandparents make a lot of sacrifices to take care of the child. They pour immense love over their baby. They teach him to eat, speak, walk, run, etc. parents are the only god for the child where he feels safe, secure, and happy.
The scenario changes a bit When a child enters teenage and adulthood. He goes out, meets new people, and gets new experiences. He builds a personality by interacting with society. He may get busy building his career and making his life. In this whole process, interaction with his parents becomes less. His perspectives are affected by his age mates.
The bond varies in different families and the environment. The lack of efforts by parents or children in making bonds stronger can lead to disputes. The situation can worsen with time.

Let us not forget our rich traditions

In the modern age, we are losing our traditional practices with the logicless blend of western culture. In the olden days, we used to care for elders, respect them. One of these traditions is to touch the feet of elders. Every time one bow in front of elders he receives a blessing. When they accept your respect that came from your lowered ego, their hearts send positive vibes of love and blessings.

The importance of spiritual wisdom in parenting

The solution to every problem lies in spirituality. Today the conflicts in families due to the generation gap between children and parents are increasing.
Therefore, the child is not able to get answers to all his insecurities from his parents. He often gets duped by his peers. In such a spot, the direction of only a true spiritual Guru comes to the rescue. The Guru is a treasure house of wisdom who can testify doubts of parents and children as well. Over 6 million people got blessed with such excellent guidance from Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan. His Holiness explains the golden teachings of life with his disciples.

Some tips that can change life

Saint Dr.MSG Insan has given some valuable tips on parenting so that the child can become a good human being.
When a child grows up, most parents get a lot busy in their works. Parents should always spare some time for their children.
They should know what the child is going through outside the secured boundaries of their home like school, college, etc.
They should build a friendly relationship with their child.
They should teach their children the values of respect and honor for the elderly.
Parents should become an example for their children. First, they should respect their elderly if they want their child to respect them in their old age.

Let us pledge to always respect our elders.

Dera Sacha Sauda is a place where people come and remove their vices under the holy grace of Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan. Millions of people have pledged and even filled written pledge forms that they would always respect their elders.
Let us all make the change and make the world a happier place to live in.

Population explosion: How to control it?

Do you know that there are currently more than 7.7 billion human population on our planet? And India itself contributed a lot having a population of approximately 1.3 billion people. Further, this number is rising steadily each year. Overpopulation is a burden on the planet. Also, for developing countries, the population explosion is a major challenge.

9. Conclusion

What are the Causes of population growth?

Increasing the population is a major challenge for society, economy, and nation. There are various reasons for the growth of population over limits. Some of them are enlisted below :

Increase in the birth rate

Due to a lack of awareness among people and an increase in successful deliveries, the birth rate is increasing promptly. Also, the gap between death and birth rate has become wider than expectations. Furthermore, the birth rate has increased many times in contrast to the death rate.

A decrease in infant mortality rate

Infant Mortality rate means the number of death of infants under the age of 6 months. Due to advancements in medical science, the infant mortality rate is minimized and there are only a few cases of infant deaths.

The life expectancy growth

In the early decades of the century, the life expectancy of people was around 55-60 years.
But due to better and improved medical and health facilities, now the life expectancy of people has increased. Now the average age of a person is about 70-75 years.
Besides, these improved living conditions, good quality nutrition, and better sanitation amenities also helped in increasing life expectancy.

High level of illiteracy

Uneducated couples are one of the biggest problems of family planning. In India, people pay very little attention to women’s education and marry girls at an early age. Thus they do not have awareness about birth control methods and the use of contraceptives.

The crisis of rising population has put the world in danger

Overpopulation is a burden on the proper functioning of a nation. It leads to:

Exhaustion of natural resources

Earth has a confined capacity to make raw materials. There are limited resources but demand increases every year. Each year the consumption of natural resources increases at a faster rate than the planet can produce them.
The main effect of overpopulation is the inadequate and uncontrolled use of resources. And consequently, in developing nations, overpopulation causes fierce rivalries for usage. For example there are various territorial conflicts over water supply that can end in the water war.

Environmental degradation

Unrestrained use of natural assets, as well as growth in energy production from coal, oil, and natural gas (fossil fuels), is harming the globe. Deforestation, desertification, extinction of animal species, plant species, climate changes, changes in the water cycle are the direct consequences of Overpopulation. Further, the emissions of large quantities of greenhouse gases lead to global warming.

Increasing unemployment

There are a high number of applicants for a limited number of vacancies. This leads to high rates of unemployment in the future. This in turn provokes rising crime and social revolts.

Rising prices

Increased demand and lesser supply lead to higher prices. Limited resources, less water, food supply, and increasing demands are provoking an increase in the cost of basic facilities. There are still many people below the poverty line who are not able to meet basic needs.

A lot of international and national organizations are working to articulate people about the need for population control. Most of them are doing appreciative efforts and guiding people about the harms of population growth. May their efforts make a big difference.

The initiative to check population growth

As overpopulation has posed a serious threat to the environment, several measures need to be taken to check population growth.
The organization, Dera Sacha Sauda under the leadership of Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan has taken several initiatives. This initiative is famously known as “ content with one”
To check population growth, Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers have guided people to have a single child, regardless it is a girl or a boy. Saint Dr. MSG has given the slogan for couples that ‘We are one and we will have one”. It means couples are mutually reflected as one and they should have one child. This is a way to provide that child a good life with the best possible resources. And the child would be well educated and well-settled person in life; otherwise two children are enough for one family.
If people get aware of this initiative, it would be a successful step in reducing the increase in birth rates. Thus this can help to control the population explosion.

Even a Single girl child can run the lineage

Guruji Saint Dr. MSG has started the program “Kul ka crown” or “ Crown of Lineage”. Under this initiative, a single girl child can run the lineage of her parents. This is for the parents having a single girl child and parents wanting to have a son to take the name forward. After marriage, with the assertion from both families, the groom stays with the bride’s family with the assertion and follows the lineage of the girls’ family. Such initiatives have changed mindsets tremendously.

Mass Awareness is a must to tackle the situation

Awaking everyone is a must. Dera Sacha Sauda started the initiative of making people aware of this aspect of the population crisis.
Thousands of Dera followers have taken pledge after the motivation of Saint Dr. MSG that they would plan a one-child family to control the continuously increasing population.
Volunteers also make other people aware of organizing mass awareness camps, rallies, etc.
So it is an effective action to deal with this present situation due to the surpassing world population.

The organization that is at the forefront of humanitarian activities

Dera Sacha Sauda, Sirsa is an organization that aims to make the world a better place. There are 134 humanitarian activities currently conducted by Dera Sacha Sauda. The volunteers leave no opportunity in serving humanity. All the welfare activities are conducted selflessly, without any greed.

Who has inspired the lives of millions?

Saint Dr. MSG always motivates people to do humanitarian works. He teaches that humanity is the religion that everyone should follow. It is all due to his grace that millions leave their vices and participate in humanitarian activities.

It is our time to act dutifully

Let us try to reduce the burden from mother Earth. An increase in population is a huge problem that we all have to fight with.

How to serve, nurture and take care of animals in easy and best ways?

We are so much engrossed in our daily chores that we rarely think about others. It is very rare to have a caring approach to poor birds and animals.
Our carelessness towards the environment is being reflected in unexpected climate changes, floods, global warming, etc. We human beings had taken nature for granted.
Our Earth also belongs to all other living things because the human species came on earth very late, just 5 million years. Now thousands of species are extinct because of varied reasons. It is wise to save NATURE and its creations.

10. Conclusion

Animals need love and care too.

A part of the soul remains awakened until one loves an animal. Animals can become the greatest friend to humans if loved and cared for. They pass no criticism and are agreeable in each sense.
But cruelty towards animals has crossed all the limits that if animals are given the power to speak, humanity would cry. Having a little love or giving small acts of kindness hurts none and this is something not everyone understands. Numerous life forms are killed for food, several others are killed for clothes or fur. There is a vast trade in animal parts that has reached large proportions.
Cruelty towards animals in any sense should not be tolerated. These innocent animals need love, shelter care, and support.

How can we make a change in the lives of stray animals?

Thousands of stray animals especially dogs live on the streets of India. People seek eradication by inhumane techniques such as poisoning and beating.
People need to recognize the sensitivity and significance of stray animals.
The volunteers of Dera Sacha Sauda always come forward to wipe tears and heal the wounds of hurt. They take care of stray animals in every way possible. Their small acts of kindness like sprinkling hot areas around houses with a little water to keep it cool in scorching heat and leaving out water in trays and bowls for birds, dogs, and cows to drink are appreciatable.
The organization also arranges fodder for the hapless animals.

Let the injured ones be treated on time.

There are many accidents on roads and many innocent animals are victims of our reckless driving. After hitting animals, no one even cares to keep their dead bodies aside. Killing animals is considered no big deal to worry about. This is a shame to our existence as human beings.
The volunteers leave no stones unturned in saving these innocent creatures. Whenever they find such animals on roads, they try to provide immediate treatment possible. They even bury corpses of those animals who got killed by such accidents.

Saving the ones who are disaster-struck

Whenever a natural calamity hits an area, animals are the last to be rescued. Everyone is in a hustle to save his life and property. There is no count of animals’ lives that are lost.
Dera Sacha Sauda is an organization that is always ready to tackle natural calamities. Not only humans but volunteers also lend helping hands to save the lives of animals too.
For example, when drought hit Churu, Udaipur, Barmer, and Bikaner districts of Rajasthan, Large convoys of fodder laden trucks were sent for cattle along with relief materials for people stuck there.

A step to improve the plight of Cows

The cow is considered sacred in Hindu Culture. There was a time when Indians worshipped cows and grateful for cow milk and other products. Ayurveda is full of health profits, of Cow’s milk. It has been considered the best alternative to mother’s milk
But it is a shame that the plight of the cow is miserable today and the life ends in slaughter houses.
Dera Sacha Sauda has led the initiative of the cow milk party following the guidance of Saint Dr. MSG. Now instead of arranging alcohol in parties, people have cow milk that is much beneficial and joyful. This is a step to save cows from the butchery and promote the consumption of cow milk.

Let us say no to the Non-vegetarian diet

There are many forged animal lovers who are non-vegetarians. If Animals are friends, what is the sense of eating one’s friends? Where is that ‘animal love’ when you can’t feel the pain while they are cut into pieces to be served on your plates? Is this love only for one’s pets? It is too hypocritical.
The plight of animals is miserable who are killed in fancy restaurants.
Dera Sacha Sauda strictly opposes a non-vegetarian diet. Volunteers also raise their voices against the Killing of animals and promote vegetarianism.

How can we save animals by saving the ecosystem?

There is no place like a natural abode. Home is home no matter if it’s for animals or human beings.
Increasing deforestation has made many species homeless. These innocent and speechless species are forced to wander on roads. Most of the forest lands are being cleared for industrial purposes. This has led to unnatural human-wildlife interactions leading to various life-threatening communicable diseases.
Dera Sacha Sauda aims at reforestations. Millions of trees have been planted by Dera volunteers to promote the importance of trees for the ecosystem. The saving ecosystem is saving animals.

The passion to serve humanity is incomparable

We are breathing in a world where world will chain us and don’t let us perform our responsibility towards humanity.
The love for humanity and welfare stands second to none. Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers are living examples of such passion. Their desire to serve others is beyond any limits.

The one who instills such motivation in Millions

Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan instills such motivation in these devotees that they consider humanity as the only religion. His holiness feeds the animals with his own hands and also tends them with the utmost compassion. St. MSG teaches that even venomous reptiles and poisonous insects have an equal right to exist. If they wander into human habitation, they should not be killed and left far away.

SAVE LIFE

Conclusion

Animals equally need love and sympathy as humans. Let us all care and nurture them.

National Cancer awareness day 2020: Let’s know how to fight back this fatal disease

To increase awareness about cancer prevention and early detection among the public, the ‘National Cancer Awareness Day’ is observed on November 7. In India, nearly 1.2 million new cases are being reported every year. Most of the cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage. This reduces patients’ chances of survival; making cancer as the major reason for increasing death rates.
Thus awareness about this disease is a must. Various NGOs in India participate in promoting cancer awareness among the masses.

9. Conclusion

Cancer is one of the major causes of rising death tolls.

Cancer is one of the most feared health problems that the human race is facing today. The advanced technology in the health field has helped us in early detection and management. But still, we are becoming more prone to diseases due to the overuse of pesticides, hormones, enhancers, and other chemicals.
Cancer is a disease that is linked to the abnormal growth of cells in a certain part of the body. Cells grow into cancerous due to the accumulation of certain defects, or mutations in their DNA. Certain causes can be
inherited genetic defects such as mutations
infections,
Environmental factors such as air pollution.
Insignificant lifestyle choices — such as smoking and heavy alcohol use. It can also damage DNA and may lead to cancer.

It is a well-known fact that 70 percent of the roots of cancer are avoidable and mostly related to lifestyle choices.

Millions of people participated in Anti-Tobacco campaigns

Tobacco Addiction is the gateway to premature death. Most of the population especially youth consider tobacco consumption and smoking trendy. Despite the ban on tobacco intake, its consumption is increasing. Smokers are prone to life-threatening diseases cardiac risks, cancer, and paralysis attack. The habit of tobacco can create cognitive dysfunction. Consumption of tobacco makes an individual a prey of various kinds of cancers viz. bladder cancer, stomach cancer, cancer of the oral cavity (mouth), lung cancer, cancer of the esophagus, kidney cancer, cancer of the larynx (voice box), etc.
Dera Sacha Sauda is an organization that strongly opposes the use of tobacco and all other intoxicants.
After attending Spiritual congregations, people throw heaps of intoxicants like tobacco, hand-rolled Indian cigarette, cigarette, betel nuts, etc. away and are burnt publicly. Millions of people participated in Anti-Tobacco Campaign. The initiatives of Dera Sacha Sauda have been successful to some extent. In 2008, a law was passed in India that mandated the cigarette packs to be covered with graphic warnings against cigarettes.
Dera followers have also conducted several awareness rallies to get its consumption curbed from society.

Consumption of Non-vegetarian diet increases risks of Cancer

A non-vegetarian diet like meat takes approximately 72 hours to digest whereas a healthy vegetarian meal takes only two to three hours.

Welfare work is the reviving factor for humanity

The basis of humanity lies in generously helping those in need. Some little acts of thoughtfulness that can mean the world to somebody else and positively influence their lives. Kindness and welfare are also what give drive to our existence.
Spending some moments providing welfare to the needy provides inner happiness and peace.
When most of the population is in a hustle to win over the other, there are hundreds of people across our country who go out of their way to help others in whichever manner they can. These selfless heroes are people that keep humanity going.

The Valiant ones who stepped out in the pandemic to save others

In Indian society, Blood donation has been taboo. People would not come forward to donate blood even for their family members in times of requirement and were scared of donating blood. Combating the demand for blood is always a challenge for hospitals. In times of Corona pandemic, It is tougher as matters due to lockdown, several donors could not reach to donate blood in time due to movement restrictions.
But still, some people have stood unchanged in any condition and have donated thousands of units of blood to hospitals and saved many lives by Risking their own lives to help others is commendable.
Volunteers of Dera Sacha Sauda even organized blood donation camps to meet the requirements of blood. By following the safety protocols and guidelines such as social distancing, and hygiene practices, etc.

Make the planet Disease-free by the cleanliness

Cleanliness is termed next to Godliness and it no wonder is. An unhygienic environment leads to the growth of various microbes and pathogens and ultimately the spread of various diseases.
Human BEINGS have a much bigger responsibility towards the environment and also for the well being of fellow species inhabiting the planet with us. Thus, hygiene is a vital and essential trait of the human form.
Some organizations and volunteers are working on the mission of cleanliness. Swachh Bharat Mission under GOI is working on it and making people aware of the same.
Dera Sacha Sauda has started Cleanliness Earth Campaigns and Cleanliness Drives are carried out periodically promoting public awareness towards cleanliness. Thus garbage is reduced and parasites and flies are De-weeded and reduced in number and the spread of diseases is prevented.

How the dream of home came true for Homeless people?

Many people in the country don’t have even roofs on their heads and there are many destitute senior citizen couples and widows who due to varied circumstances have to live their lives on roads and temples. It is a dream for many people to have a safe place to live. To help these destitute & homeless people, Dera Sacha Sauda has taken the initiative of the “Homely Shelter” Initiative . under this initiative Volunteers save some part from their hard earned money and use that collected fund to construct home and provide such people the ‘ready to move in homes’.

Now women are no longer confined to the four walls.

The objective to achieve a gender-equal world involves social innovations that are for women empowerment. Through mass campaigns to save girl child, Dera Volunteers make millions of people to stop female foeticide. The organization Promotes girl’s education through awareness and also provides facilitation. They also provide free education to poor and underprivileged children.
In rural and urban areas training centers by Dera Sacha Sauda have been set for giving self-defense techniques to girls and women. These training centers have been set for making women physically and mentally strong.

Providing a helping hand to the needy is true humanity

When we feel the pain of those who are in trouble and sorrows, this is called true humanity. When there is love, sympathy as well as mercy in heart for God’s creation, a man decides to do welfare works. Any being that is suffering from bodily hurt is not left in the lurch. It could even be a bird or an animal.
Those who aid the ones injured in road accidents are the real-life heroes. This needs a lot of courage especially in a country like India where those who help injured persons are booked for a crime.

May no one starve of hunger.

Hunger and poverty is a big problem in India. There are many people in India including children who cannot afford two meals a day. Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers have stepped forward to help those people. They keep fast one day a week and collect food altogether. The ratio is then distributed to the poor. Not only this, on the occasion of birthdays, anniversaries, etc. instead of fancy parties, a lot of young people now distribute food to the needy ones.

The spirit of welfare is not bound to humans only but also birds and animals

The growth of urbanization and industrialization has profound effects on natural ecosystems. Increasing deforestation, illegal hunting, pollution, etc. have caused trouble for various species. Various species of animals and birds are at a threat of extinction if this continues.
Dera Sacha Sauda has let a helping hand for Birds and animals and pledged to save them in every way possible.
People arrange water and food for birds on their rooftops. They also look after injured animals and birds and make arrangements for their treatment and shelter in all ways.

Changing mindsets is changing society

The volunteers of Dera Sacha Sauda don’t do this for applause and neither do they care about rewards. This is all about the spirit of humanity and passion to do the welfare of others. It is, therefore, important to recognize the motive of these people. That is the only way to ignite the spirit of generosity and selfless service amongst all.
It is observed that the lamp ignited by DSS is illuminating in different corners of the word. The traditions are gradually changing. Youth is coming forward for the welfare of the needy. Tree plantation on birthdays has become a trend. Now hospitals receive blood donors more than usual. Social media campaigns have also aided a lot in setting trends of welfare work. Well, there is no limit to the success that a country can achieve if it decides to work all together and for each other in a dedicated manner.

An organization playing a key role in Welfare Works

There is a long list of welfare organizations around the globe doing great works, Dera Sacha Sauda is a socio-spiritual organization which is working day and night for the welfare of humanity. There are 134 humanitarian activities carried by the volunteers. These volunteers leave no opportunity in doing welfare.

Who is the inspiration behind this?

This passion to serve humanity is filled with these volunteers by their Spiritual master, Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan. Guruji teaches these people that humanity is the supreme religion and the only way to attain peace.
Salutes to the Guru who instilled such passion for humanity among these people.
