Raipur, December 17

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai on Wednesday extended warm greetings and best wishes to the people of Chhattisgarh on the birth anniversary of Baba Guru Ghasidas Ji, the revered social reformer and symbol of spiritual awakening, observed on 18 December.

In his message, the Chief Minister stated that Baba Guru Ghasidas Ji, through his life and teachings, guided society towards the path of truth, non-violence, equality and social harmony. He described the saint’s immortal message — “Mankhe-Mankhe Ek Saman” (all human beings are equal) — as not merely a slogan, but a profound philosophy that binds humanity together and lays a strong foundation for justice, equality and an egalitarian social order.

Chief Minister Shri Sai noted that Baba Guru Ghasidas Ji played a pioneering role in igniting social and spiritual consciousness on the land of Chhattisgarh. By raising awareness against entrenched social evils, inequalities and blind faith, the saint worked tirelessly for the restoration of moral values and inspired people to recognise their self-respect and inherent human dignity.

Highlighting the enduring relevance of Baba Guru Ghasidas Ji’s philosophy, Shri Sai stated that the saint’s life teachings continue to guide society towards compassion, tolerance, love, integrity and peaceful coexistence. Even in contemporary times, his ideals stand as a powerful source of inspiration for building an inclusive and harmonious society.

The Chief Minister called upon citizens to imbibe the values and ideals of Baba Guru Ghasidas Ji in their daily lives. He urged people to actively contribute to strengthening social harmony, peace and brotherhood, and to work together towards the vision of a prosperous, inclusive and socially cohesive Chhattisgarh.
