Highlighting the life of the renowned seer, she said Baba Hardev Singh was born in the house of Baba Avtar Singh and began providing solace to the people from the age of 27. For 36 years, he worked as a messenger of peace and always propagated universal brotherhood among the world.

She said that today Baba Hardev was not present physically but his thoughts would always remain ingrained deep in the minds of the people. A CD of Baba Hardev Singh expressing his thoughts was also shown on a large screen on the occasion.
