Westbury, New York, USA: The Sant Nirankari Mission’s New York chapter is preparing to hold its annual community blood drive, continuing its tradition of promoting service and spiritual awareness. Media organisations and community members have been invited to attend the event on November 16 at the Sant Nirankari Oneness Centre in Westbury, New York.
The Mission, known for its teachings on spiritual realisation through the guidance of a Living True Master, has long emphasised humanitarian work as a core part of its global outreach. The upcoming blood drive reflects the organisation’s broader efforts to encourage unity, compassion, and collective responsibility.
The program is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. and will feature Senator Steve Rhoads as the chief guest and keynote speaker. He is expected to speak on themes such as harmony, community engagement, and the importance of working together for the welfare of society—principles that the Mission highlights in its service activities.
The Sant Nirankari Mission is a socio-spiritual organisation with millions of followers worldwide, dedicated to promoting universal brotherhood that transcends cultural, racial, and religious boundaries. The Mission’s philosophy stresses kindness, humility, and selfless service as pathways to spiritual growth.
Recognised internationally, the Mission holds General Consultative Status with the United Nations and has received honours, including acknowledgement from the European Parliament and the Queen Elizabeth II Award for Volunteer Service. Its volunteers have collectively donated more than 1.5 million units of blood and continue to support social initiatives across India, the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia, and other countries.
In New York, Sant Nirankari volunteers—particularly youth groups—have worked with local organisations on projects such as clothing and toy drives, food assistance programs, health awareness campaigns, COVID-19 relief work, and interfaith collaborations.
Organisers say the upcoming blood drive aims to strengthen partnerships between community leaders and faith-based service groups. They also expressed gratitude for media interest, noting that wider coverage will help spread the Mission’s message of serving humanity.
Further event information is available on the Mission’s official website.
