Sukkur, Sindh
A vibrant and spiritually uplifting Gita Sammelan held at the historic Sakhi Baba Aastan in Pano Aqil on December 10, 2025 brought together hundreds of devotees from across Pakistan, with a particularly strong presence from the Meghwar community.
Organized by the Ramdev Sheva Mandal, the day-long gathering showcased devotion, unity and the enduring cultural heritage of the Indus region.
Set in an atmosphere filled with sacred music and heartfelt prayers, the event featured inspiring sermons from eminent spiritual leaders, who highlighted the timeless relevance of the Bhagavad Gita. They described the Gita as a universal guide for humanity—one that speaks across cultures, faiths, and generations.
“The Gita answers humanity’s deepest questions about purpose, identity, truth and existence,” speakers affirmed emphasizing that its teachings on Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Moksha illuminate the paths to selflessness, wisdom, devotion and inner freedom. The Gita, they said, teaches the eternal nature of the soul and the inner battles every human faces. One preacher called it “the science of life and the key to understanding one’s true self,” adding that Krishna’s assurance of compassion and acceptance remains a beacon for seekers everywhere.
Speakers also drew parallels between the Gita’s philosophy and modern scientific understanding, noting its harmony with concepts of mindfulness, self-mastery and the continuity of energy. Its wisdom, they stressed, transcends religion and caste, offering a vision of human unity and shared greatness.
The Sammelan further celebrated Sindh’s deep connection to the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, reminding participants that Vedic traditions have flourished along the Indus River for thousands of years.
“We are the indigenous and ancient people of this land,” community leaders said. “Our roots run deep into the soil of present-day Pakistan, and our legacy reflects centuries of peaceful coexistence, cultural resilience, and contributions to the region’s progress. This heritage belongs to all of us.”
Speakers expressed gratitude for the freedom to gather peacefully, praising Pakistan as a country where cultural expression and spiritual dialogue continue to grow. They reaffirmed the community’s commitment to unity, mutual respect and lasting peace among all people.
The program featured devotional renditions and wisdom shared by renowned spiritual personalities, including Saein Nand Lal Swami, Shrimati Jamonti Devi, Saein Amar Parkash, Bhagat Arian Das, Bhagat Ravi Ramesh, Bhagat Shankar Bhatia, Bhagat Gur Bux Lal and Bhagat Jai Ram Das, whose messages received widespread appreciation.
The Meghwar Panchayat extended warm congratulations to event organisers Lal Chand, Mukesh Kumar, Kapil Chohan, Ashok Kumar, Bhagwan Das and their dedicated team for their exemplary management, discipline and hospitality. Organisers also thanked all participants and district authorities for ensuring a peaceful and well-coordinated event.
Throughout the day, attendees participated in joyful dance, devotional singing, and visited stalls offering religious literature and worship items, which received enthusiastic interest.
The gathering concluded with a collective prayer for Pakistan’s peace, progress, and prosperity. Special prayers were also offered for the people of Gaza, underscoring the community’s enduring commitment to compassion, solidarity and universal brotherhood. (Press Release)
