JAMMU, Jan 28: A grand function was organized today at Shahzadpur Kothi to celebrate 124th birth anniversary of Guru Gyagi.
Thousands of devotees including men, women and children drawn from different parts participated in the function which started early in the morning with prayers and was followed by Bhajans and Satsang. The saints spoke of One God, universal brotherhood, love, humility, simplicity, equality and tolerance.
While paying rich tributes to Guru Gyagi, chief guest M L Kaith (SSP) said preaching of love, compassion and togetherness hold more relevance in present times than ever before. He urged the Batwal community members to ornament their children with education to empower Biradari.
He said that the education would also be of paramount importance in eradicating the most common social evil i.e. alcoholism which in one way or another affects economic condition of the Biradari members and is often considered problematic in terms of moral values.
On the occasion, newly elected District Development Councillor Balbir Lal Tugga was honoured for doing selfless social service.
