Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria has called upon people to embrace humility, compassion and mutual love to promote harmony, tolerance and brotherhood in society, stressing that these values are essential for building a peaceful and inclusive world.
Addressing the 8th International Conference of Humility, Kindness and Love at Gurdwara Darbar Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Bulandpuri Sahib, near Nakodar in Jalandhar district on Sunday, the Governor said humility was among the most important virtues for personal growth and success.
The conference was organised by the HKL Global Movement under the leadership of Baba Baldev Singh Ji.
Kataria observed that arrogance creates distance between people, while humility strengthens relationships and brings individuals closer. He described compassion as a great human virtue, saying that understanding the pain and suffering of others reflects the true spirit of humanity.
Emphasising the importance of love, he said it had the power to unite people across differences of religion, culture and ideology. At a time when the world faces serious challenges, including conflicts and environmental concerns, he said promoting unity and mutual understanding was particularly important.
Referring to the teachings of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the Governor highlighted the principles of Kirat Karo, Naam Japo and Vand Chhako — earn an honest living, remember God and share with others — as enduring guidance for creating an ideal society.
He also urged people to respect and care for nature, recalling Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings on the environment.
Kataria appreciated the HKL Global Movement’s efforts under Baba Baldev Singh Ji to spread the message of humility, compassion and love internationally. He described his participation in the conference as a matter of pride.
Baba Baldev Singh Ji felicitated the Governor, expressing hope that his participation would further strengthen the message of humanity and universal brotherhood.
The Governor also honoured several delegates and speakers from different fields and faiths, including Haji Syed Salman Chishty, Curtis Gabriel, Andrea Mathis, Rev. David Beduza, Natalia Vasilyeva, Brahma Kumari Hussain Didi, Sonali Singh and Anmol Kwatra.
State Information Commissioner Harpreet Sandhu, SSP Harvinder Singh Virk and other dignitaries were also present.
