JALANDHAR 12 JUNE
Bhagat Kabir was a great social reformer who gave the message of truth, love, non-violence, morality, and brotherhood to all of humanity—a message that holds immense importance in today’s materialistic age. These thoughts were expressed by Punjab Cabinet Minister Mohinder Bhagat while addressing a large gathering of devotees as the chief guest during the state-level event organized by the Punjab Government at the local Satguru Kabir Mukhya Mandir, Bhargav Nagar, on the occasion of the 627th Prakash Utsav of Bhagat Kabir .
Deputy Commissioner Dr. Himanshu Aggarwal, Police Commissioner Dhanpreet Kaur, and Mayor Vineet Dhir were also present on the occasion.
The Minister stated that Bhagat Kabir Bani recorded in the Shri Guru Granth Sahib will always continue to guide people and give the message of rising above caste, race, and religion. He emphasized the need to spread Bhagat Kabir’s message of global brotherhood to every household. He said Kabir Sahib’s verses inspire us with pure ideology, and by adopting it, we can lead a meaningful life. He also said that Bhagat Kabir Ji waged a long struggle against the social evils of the caste system, untouchability, and discrimination.
He also said that to fulfil the dreams of Bhagat Kabir, the state government has launched special schemes to uplift the living standards of socially and economically backward people. On this occasion, he announced a grant of Rs. 25 lakhs from his discretionary fund to the temple committee.
Singer Masha Ali and other artists enthralled the devotees with devotional songs on the occasion.
