On September 17, 2010 the Sant Nirankari Mission Toronto Canada participated in an Interfaith Vigil for the victims of the floods and mudslides in Pakistan and China. Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Sufi, Zoroastrian, Scientology and the Sant Nirankari Mission were the main Faith Groups represented there. It happened at the beautiful St Michael's Cathedral in downtown Toronto. Each faith group leader or representative said a prayer from their respective faith for the victims of Pakistan and China and lit a candle.

Funds were also collected at the end of the Vigil for the Red Cross. The Mission is a part of the Executive Team in the council so it helps in a large part of the decision making process and in serving the events for the benefit of humanity and unity. Please see below for the prayer said by the Mission:

“We are all gathered here today to pray for the flood victims of Pakistan and China. All of us belong to a respective faith group or belief and are offering a prayer to a Supreme Energy or Force called by many names such as God, Allah, Waheguru, Nirankar, Paramatma, Dao, Jehova etc. As I am representing the Nirankari Mission we believe this Supreme Being to be Nirankar (Formless God). Our Spiritual Master, His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji teaches us that we must help humanity in such disasters as all human beings are the image of God. Furthermore, though we do not understand these disasters and the suffering in the world, we must accept these situations as Gods will and do our part in rebuilding the respective nations.

So it is with this intention I pray to the Almighty Nirankar and our Satguru Baba Ji to give peace and strength to the people of Pakistan and China, so they may accept the will of God and move forward with Strength and Purpose with the assistance of the whole world.”
