‘Everyone living for everyone else’ has been the advice of all the prophets, gurus, sages and seers down the ages.  This is seen followed in letter and spirit by the Nirankari devotees who flood the blood donation Camps as a part of their devotion resulting in a sort of human revolution.  One of these Camps was organized here in Sant Nirankari Satsang Bhawan Sector 30-A, where as many as 622 volunteers, including 228 women donated blood.  They were from Chandigarh.

Blessing the mass Blood Donation Camp here, Shri Sanjay Kumar, IAS, Finance Secretary, Chandigarh Administration stated that blood donation is a veritable proof of human oneness and cosmic integrity.   It is the duty of every human-being to live for others. The Nirankaris are donating the blood voluntarily with this spirit.  Deeply moved by the high-level of self motivation born out of devotion to the Mission, he described the Camp as a Mission in action and appreciated this gesture.  Having inspected the Camp, Shri Sanjay Kumar said that hundreds of units of blood to be collected here will save the lives of patients struggling for life.  He was very much impressed by the enthusiasm of donors in the Camp.

Blood donation is already a mass movement with the followers of the Mission.  Ever since it is started in 1986, a number of blood donation camps have been organized by the Mission every year commencing with the Manav Ekta Divas “Human Unity Day” observed on April 24 in the memory of the former spiritual Head of the Mission Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji and several devotees who laid down their lives for the humanity.

The Nirankaris donate their blood with the sense of devotion.  They owe their enthusiasm to the inspiration provided by the personal example of regular blood donation set by H.H. Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj, his gracious spouse Pujya Mata Sawinder Ji and other members of the holy family, who participate in these camps.  Upto the year 2008, the Mission has donated 3,63,073 units of blood in the Camps organized in India.

The Mission has at its credit ISBTI Award for the distinguished and invaluable contribution to the voluntary blood donation movement at All India level both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Mr. Mohinder Kumar Nandwani visited the Camp and said that blood as such has no caste, creed or colour.  We are all blood-brothers.  Blood donation and its transfusion is a veritable proof of human oneness and cosmic integrity.

This Camp was organized by Rev Shubh Karan, Sanchalak of Sector 30 area, with the help of Sewadal volunteers.  Recalling the message of Nirankari Baba Hardev Singh Ji he said “Blood donation symbolized the organic and natural unity of mankind and by donating blood we are doing fundamental duty to help cement human bonds.”  He further stated, “Not only here, the Nirankari Mission is organizing  281 most disciplined such Camps all over the country during the year 2009 to serve the humanity.

A Team of more than 20 doctors and other staff led by Dr. Mrs. Usha Rao, Blood Transfusion Officer, PGIMER, Chandigarh conducted the 7-hour hi-tech blood collection operations.  She said, “The enthusiastic response of donors was a unique factor in the Nirankari Blood Donation Camps which I found during my long association with such camps.”
