JAMMU, Feb 12: All J&K Shri Sadguru Kabir Sabha today observed ‘505th Kabir Nirvan Divas’ at Kabir Bhawan, Chak-Avtara, in Bishnah.
The function was largely attended by people from all the districts of Jammu division especially from district Jammu, Kathua, Samba, Udhampur and Reasi.
On this occasion, the `Kabir Bijik’ (Granth) which was transferred from Kashi (UP) was today finally installed at Kabir Bhawan, Bishnah. A grand Shoba Yatra alongwith the granth was taken out starting from Kabir Mandir, Phinder to Bishnah passing through various surrounding areas and finally culminated at Kabir Bhawan, Chak Avtara. The devotees were singing Bhajans and Shoba Yatra was warmly welcomed by the passing villages & the route was decorated by flowers. Thereafter a spiritual discourse was given on the philosophy of `Kabir Vani’.
President of the Kabir Sabha, FC Bhagat while addressing the gathering said that “where there is truth, no religion is required because truth itself is the biggest religion. This is duly stated by Lord Buddha, Sant Kabir, Mahatma Phule and Dr BR Ambedkar. Guru Nank Dev & other Saints called this truth as Satnaam. He appealed to the society at large to unite on a common platform and maintain a positive approach for the proper upliftment of the mankind, irrespective of caste, colour or religion.
The Sabha also applauded the restoration of reservation in promotion to the SC/ST community as envisaged under the relevant laws & further appealed the UT Govt to implement the same by giving a retrospective effect & clearing the back logs of the SC/ST quota. The Sabha also appealed the UT Administration to consider the issue of transfer policy of the reserved employees posted in Kashmir.
