Sister Sudiksha anointed head of Nirankari Mission

New Delhi, July 17 

Sister Sudiksha was on Tuesday anointed as the spiritual head of the Sant Nirankari Mission, in a ceremony at Burari here.

The youngest daughter of late Baba Hardev Singh, who died in a road accident in Canada in 2016, was anointed as the Nirankari Satguru.

"As desired and blessed by the present Nirankari Satguru Mata Savinder Hardev Ji Maharaj, Holy Sister Sudiksha Ji has been declared as Nirankari Satguru and the spiritual head of the Sant Nirankari Mission from today," the Mission's Member In-charge, Kirpa Sagar, said in a statement.

The Mission was established in 1929 by Buta Singh. The sect follows the satguru tradition that professes realisation of god through the teacher. Mata Savinder became the head of the Mission after the death of Nirankari Satguru Baba Hardev in the road accident.

The accident occurred when he was travelling to attend a spiritual gathering in May 2016 in Canada. - PTI
