Dr Ali Khan paid respect to His Holiness Baba Hardev
Singh Ji and said that the message of His Holiness of oneness goes to the
heart of the communities in endeavouring the peace and prosperity. The
message of oneness of Mission inculcates within us the need of tolerance,
which is important in creating peace and prosperity. Mission participation
in various activities such as blood donation and raising funds for poor,
show their desire to service the humanity. Lets make harmony day everyday.
Mr Tuli Ji, Committee Member of Mission conveyed the
message of HH that Religion Unites never divides. He said that first we
have to become Human beings. Oneness can be achieved only when we know
one, the one almighty. Harmony in Oneness is possible only when we shed
our egos. He added that the volunteers of the mission would be made
available round the clock for any help required by the administration in
case of any eventualities. Mission has already been actively involved in
various drives whether it’s blood donation, cleanliness or Tree
plantation.
Mr Nick Wakeling said that the Harmony day is
important day for all Australians. He praised the efforts of His Holiness
Baba Hardev Singh Ji in leading the SNM. He said that we recognise Harmony
through diversity whereas the mission celebrate Harmony through oneness.
He further added that the SNM, Melbourne branch has the largest
participation in blood donation and Clean-up Australia day in the entire
state of Victoria.
Mr Raj Kumar Ji, Committee member of mission
emphasized on the fact that the Harmony should not be due to Compulsion or
because of choice, it should be a preference. Once we get to know through
God realisation that all people on Earth are one part of family, the
Harmony can be achieved naturally.
Towards the end message was delivered from Holy
chair, presided by Mr Sunny Duggal Ji. He said that to bring harmony we
should be harmonious in nature. It cannot be achieved only through words.
It should be put in practice. HH Baba Hardev Singh Ji is guiding and
teaching us to love all and hate none. He shared the message of the
mission “Peace not Pieces” and “Religion unites never divides”.
He said that Mission believes in walk the talk. The
members of the mission follow the teachings of HH in practice. Mission is
contributing to various charitable funds, taking active participation in
various drives including Blood donation, Australia Clean-up Day and Tree
plantation.
He thanked all the distinguished guests for
participating in the event and sharing their thoughts and giving insights
on what Harmony is and how it can be achieved.
Event was concluded with the community meal.
