‘Clean Water, Clean Mind’ initiative launched

Water, one of nature’s most precious gifts, is regarded as the very foundation of life and the lifeline of human civilisation. Preserving this invaluable resource not only safeguards the environment but also strengthens collective health, ecological balance and social well-being. Reinforcing this vital message, the Sant Nirankari mission successfully conducted the fourth phase of its nationwide environmental initiative, ‘Clean Water, Clean Mind,’ under the guidance of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj and Nirankari Rajpita Ramit Ji.

The large-scale campaign emerged as a powerful instrument of public awareness, mobilising communities across India toward environmental responsibility and spiritual consciousness. According to information shared by branch coordinator Malkiat Chand of the Sant Nirankari Mission, Phagwara, the drive was organised across 1,600 locations in 930 cities spanning 25 states and union territories. The initiative witnessed the participation of nearly 1.2 million volunteers, who collectively undertook the cleaning and preservation of natural water bodies, including rivers, ponds, lakes and canals.

Organised under the patronage of the Sant Nirankari Charitable Foundation, the Mission’s social welfare wing, the initiative forms part of ‘Project Amrit,’ which integrates environmental protection with spiritual awakening. The campaign emphasises that external cleanliness must be accompanied by inner purity, thereby aligning ecological responsibility with moral and spiritual values.

During a special congregation held at Burari Chowk Ground in Delhi, Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, in her address, underscored that true homage is not paid merely through words but through meaningful action. She encouraged devotees to embody the virtues of service, love, compassion, humility and equality in their daily lives. Recalling the teachings of Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj, she reiterated that service (sewa), meditation and spiritual fellowship form the cornerstone of a purposeful and harmonious life.

In Phagwara, volunteers and members of the Sewadal actively participated in the cleaning of the Bist-Doab Canal, demonstrating collective commitment and civic responsibility. Equipped with cleaning tools and driven by a spirit of selfless service, participants removed waste and debris from the canal, contributing toward restoring the natural flow and cleanliness of the water body.

The congregation concluded with a collective appeal urging citizens to actively participate in such selfless initiatives and to adopt water conservation and environmental protection as a shared social responsibility.
