Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, March 8, 2026: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday attended the grand Hola Mohalla programme organised at Namdhari Gurdwara, Jiwan Nagar, in Sirsa district and sought blessings from the Sant Samaj.
Addressing a large gathering of Namdhari Sangat that had arrived from across the country and abroad, the Chief Minister said that he felt extremely happy to be present among them on the occasion of the glorious festival of Hola Mohalla being celebrated at this sacred ashram.
Bowing at the feet of Sant Dilip Singh Ji Maharaj, he said the Sant Samaj is doing a great service by connecting society through love, service, brotherhood and spirituality.
The Chief Minister said that the sacred land of Sirsa has long been a “Tapobhoomi” of saints and great personalities. In the year 1507, the first Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji set foot on this land. To carry forward his teachings, Gurdwara Sri Chilla Sahib was established here.
He further said that many saints such as Baba Sarsai Nath and Baba Bhooman Shah spread the message of spirituality, service and humanity from this land. Their teachings continue to guide society in the right direction even today.
Hola Mohalla is a symbol of courage, devotion and social harmony
The Chief Minister said that Hola Mohalla is not merely a festival but a living symbol of India’s rich culture, bravery and spiritual tradition. It inspires people to maintain a balance between courage and devotion in life.
He added that the festival is not only about colours but also represents the resolve to stand against injustice and uphold righteousness.
Dashmesh Pita Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji had initiated the tradition of celebrating Hola Mohalla to strengthen the Khalsa traditions and promote brotherhood and unity in society along with the enthusiasm of Holi.
Inspiring history of sacrifice and dedication of Namdhari community
The Chief Minister said that the history of the Namdhari community is filled with sacrifice, penance and dedication. The Kuka Movement started by Satguru Ram Singh Ji Maharaj is an important chapter in India’s freedom struggle.
He said that when the country was under colonial rule, the Namdhari community promoted the message of adopting Swadeshi and boycotting foreign goods, which gave new energy to the freedom movement.
The Chief Minister also paid tribute to the brave Namdhari martyrs who stood fearlessly before cannons at Malerkotla and sacrificed their lives with smiles but never abandoned the path of truth and self-respect.
Large participation of devotees from across the world
The Chief Minister said that the presence of lakhs of devotees from India and abroad in this year’s Hola Mohalla programme is proof that even in today’s materialistic age, people remain deeply connected with their spiritual roots.
He said that the teachings of saints and great personalities guide society in a positive direction and inspire people to follow the path of service, harmony and humanity.
Government moving forward with the mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”
Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, both the Central and State Governments are working with the mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas.”
He said that this ideology aligns with the principles of “Sarbat Da Bhala” and service to humanity preached by the Namdhari sect.
He informed that the state government celebrates the birth anniversaries of great personalities at the state level and has launched the ‘Sant-Mahapurush Samman Vichar Prachar Evam Prasar Yojana’ to spread their teachings in society.
The Chief Minister said that the Namdhari community has done remarkable work not only in spirituality but also in social reform, cow protection, de-addiction campaigns and environmental conservation. Keeping youth away from the menace of drugs and connecting them with sports and music lays a strong foundation for a bright future of society.
He also said that the Namdhari sect has made significant contributions in agriculture and dairy production, which has helped Haryana become one of the leading states in food grain and milk production in the country.
Government stands with every social and religious initiative
The Chief Minister assured that the Haryana Government stands shoulder to shoulder with society in every religious and social initiative. Whether it is development of infrastructure or ensuring the benefits of welfare schemes reach the last person, the government is working with full transparency and commitment.
Seeking blessings from the saints, the Chief Minister said that everyone should work together to build a Viksit Haryana and Viksit Bharat, where every citizen lives a prosperous, secure and spiritually inspired life.
On this occasion, MP Sh. Ram Chander Jangra, former MP Smt. Sunita Duggal, Sardar Jaspal Singh, Sardar Sukhdev Singh, former MLA Sh. Ramchander Kamboj, District President Sh. Yatinder Singh, Sh. Jagdish Chopra, Sh. Dev Kumar Sharma, Sh. Shishpal Kamboj, Sh. Amirchand Mehta, Smt.
