Prayers pour in as singer Jawanda battles for life

Thousands of fans across the world are praying for the recovery of Punjabi singer Rajvir Jawanda, who is battling for life at a private hospital here.

They are doing everything they can to see their beloved singer hale and hearty. Discussing latest advancements in medical fields to organising Akhand Path to visiting gurdwaras and making vows in exchange of the well-being of the Punjabi singer — their belief in the power of prayers has found a renewed vigour. Almost everyone has just ‘Waheguru Maher Kare’ on their lips and hearts.

His well-wishers and fellow singers have been camping outside the hospital for the past 10 days in the hope of a trickle of good news but, it seems, the God is testing their patience to the hilt. Nevertheless, they are not backing out and are determined to stay put till God answers their prayers.

Punjabi singer Harbhajan Mann posted on X: “Today at Gurdwara Sri Amb Sahib, Mohali, the concluding ceremony (Bhog) of the Akhand Path Sahib was held on behalf of the family of Rajvir Jawanda, along with many fellow artists. Together, we all humbly prayed at the feet of Guru Sahib for Rajvir’s Charhdi Kala.”

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal today enquired about the well-being of the Punjabi singer, who has hospitalised since September 27 when he had met with an accident in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh.

Badal met Jawanda’s mother and family members and expressed hope that the 35-year-old would be hale and hearty soon. “Jawanda as well as his family members are fighting the battle courageously and may God give them more power,” he said.

Jawanda had sustained critical head and spine injuries in the mishap while on a biking trip with his friends. He has been on life support for the past 11 days.
