About Jaam-E-Insan
umanitarianism is dying.The morals and values
that were the cornerstone of good conduct are
vanishing fast. Religion, caste and color have
become reasons for society to erupt into
riots. In the face of these challenges, where
hate has become the worlds chosen creed, Guru Ji
started a custom of the pledge for
humanitarianism, called the Nectar of the
Humanitarianism, this pledge includes partaking
a Holy drink made from milk, water and rose
essence. The purpose of pledge is to renew the
commitment of those who have learnt meditation,
to always stay on the path of righteousness and
humanitarianism. The pledge was started by Guru
Ji on 29th April 2007. Millions have partaken the
Nectar and dedicating themselves to society as
evolved human beings. Thousands of people have
reported that their incurable diseases have been
cured. HIV cases are on record where viral counts
have become undetectable and even congenitally
blind patients have started seeing. Guru Ji says,
in all humility, The faith and devotion of the
meditator can work wonders, as the grace of God,
is boundless.
