December celebrations at Gobind Sadan, 2025

Gobind Sadan celebrated many different events from 23 to 25 December. The programme began with Akhand Paaths and then a special havan in honour of Baba Virsa Singh Ji’s passing on December 24th. On 25 December, the sangat honoured the birthdays of both Guru Gobind Singh and Jesus, by Maharaj’s perennial hukam to celebrate them on the same day, to demonstrate that they were not separate—that there are no God-made walls between prophets or religions. Throughout this cold December, Gobind Sadan was also remembering the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh, who were martyred at this time. In their memory, the celebrations were rather subdued, but God’s Love was flowing abundantly.

During the Christmas speeches, Sardar Baldev Singh, Principal of Guru Granth Sahib Vidya Kendra, affirmed that there should be respect among all religions, as taught by Guru Granth Sahib. Reverend Bhaskar confirmed, “We all belong to one family. There is only One God, Who is inside us.” Tamara, a sevadar from Vladivostok, Russia who spoke during Guru Gobind Singh’s birthday programme, enthusiastically proclaimed, “In Babaji’s heart are all the prophets, saints, and the vast world of all deities! He loves everyone, honours everyone, and is grateful to everyone!”

 

 

 

"God will give power to those who have love in their hearts, and a sweet tongue. A person who speaks of peace but has sword in hand—That Water will inevitably come to wash him away."

The university is one. The Vice Chancellor is one. How can the teaching be different, though in different languages?

Our mind is sick and weak, but we are looking for cures for the body.

What is the essence of religion? Truthfulness, love, faith in God, and service to everyone.

Baba Virsa Singh Ji

Early in the morning, go deep inside, concentrating all your awareness on God. Then the whole day your mind will be focused on God. Nothing will bother you.

Baba Virsa Singh Ji

“Keep growing in love for your Master. Do not look to this side or that or even at the path ahead, because people will always be criticizing you.”

Baba Virsa Singh Ji

“Trees do not wear crosses, but the great spiritual beings see God in trees. Water has no symbols, but Guru Gobind Singh says, ‘My God is in water.”

Baba Virsa Singh Ji

"We do spiritual practices to gradually prepare the way for enlightenment. It does not come immediately."

Baba Virsa Singh Ji

"Management does not change things. It is God who changes people."

Baba Virsa Singh Ji

"Think that everything in this world exists with God’s blessings, whether we regard it as pleasant or unpleasant."

Baba Virsa Singh Ji

"First look within yourself, and then you will see God everywhere."
