JAMMU, Jun 16: The Parinirvan Divas (death anniversary) of the revered Sant Mat saint Maharshi Mehi Paramhans Ji Maharaj was observed today at Badyal Brahmana with deep spiritual fervour, devotion, and disciplined meditation practices, drawing a large gathering of disciples and local devotees.
The programme commenced with collective Satsang, where spiritual discourses highlighted the life, message, and teachings of Maharshi Mehi Ji Maharaj. Speakers emphasized his unwavering dedication to inner realization through Dhyaan (meditation), ethical living, and self-discipline. Devotees were reminded that true spirituality, as taught by the saint, lies not in external rituals but in turning inward and experiencing the divine light within.
Throughout the day, participants engaged in intensive Dhyaan Abhyas (meditation sessions), reflecting the core philosophy of Sant Mat, which advocates inner awakening through the practice of Surat Shabd Yoga. The serene atmosphere encouraged seekers to focus on inner silence, concentration, and detachment from material distractions.
Devotees also reflected on the saint’s lifelong message of non-violence (Ahimsa), truthfulness, compassion, and universal brotherhood. His teachings, rooted in simplicity and spiritual discipline, continue to inspire followers across generations. Passages from his celebrated literary work Moksha Darshan were recited during the gathering, offering philosophical insights into liberation (Moksha), the nature of the soul, and the path to ultimate truth.
The observance concluded with a Bhandara (community kitchen), where hundreds of disciples, devotees, and local residents were served sanctified Prasad. The communal meal symbolized equality, service, and shared devotion, reinforcing the spirit of unity and humility.
Organizers stated that such annual observances not only honour the legacy of Maharshi Mehi Ji Maharaj but also serve as a reminder to society to embrace meditation, moral living, and inner transformation as guiding principles of life. The event concluded on a peaceful note, leaving devotees inspired to continue their spiritual journey with renewed dedication.
