Know the stories and Motivation behind these True Real life Heroes on World Humanitarian Day
1. A Story of Bravery on World Humanitarian Day: The Flood Rescuer Sundarlal Insan
The floods that struck North India in July 2023 caused unimaginable destruction. In such difficult times, the volunteers from Dera Sacha Sauda emerged as life saviors. One of those devout warriors is Mr. Sundarlal Insan.
In his Ambala district, India, he saved 200 people’s lives along with army officers. 90 out of 200 people were saved by him alone. Walking under water, with just life jacket on, which was not even worn properly in hurry, he brought 90 people to rescue by himself, and the rest 110 were brought with the help of army, where he assisted most of all.
……and the Enthusiasm that surprsied everyone! “
The army officers were surprised at his enthusiasm, efficiency and speed at which he was saving lives without even flinching. They saluted him and all the Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers for carrying out the rescue operations. Inspired by the teachings of his Guru Saint Dr Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, Sunder Lal has turned impossible into possible.
2. A tale of Courage : Arun Insan’s COVID-19 Vaccine Trial
We all know how dreadful those couples of years were after Coronavirus threw the entire world into chaos. Amid that chaos, there were those heroes who tirelessly saved people’s lives. There were sanitation workers, doctors, nurses, police and army officers.
There were those too who worked hard to find the measures to fight Coronavirus. When the trials for Corona vaccine were beginning in India for the first time, some volunteers were needed to test the effectiveness of the vaccine. But there was still risk of the vaccine causing long-lasting harmful effects in case the test failed.
“……and he stepped up without hesitation !”
Among those warriors was another volunteer of Dera Sacha Sauda, Mr. Arun Insan. Without hesitating, Arun Insan offered himself for the vaccine test and became the first in India to ever get tested for Corona vaccine.
Because of his astounding brave act, doctors were quickly able to administer the cure and prevention for Corona throughout India and countless lives got saved! The teachings of Saint Dr Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan instilled such a courage in him that he went through this process without any hesitation.
3. Know about Lifesaving Commitment: The true blood Pump Rakesh Kumar Insan
There are gas pumps but you may not have heard of blood pumps, but they do exist. Millions of volunteers of Non-Profit organization, Dera Sacha Sauda do blood donation worldwide to give the gift of life to humanity.
They are called True Blood Pump because there’s never any shortage of blood donation when it comes to them. Various hospitals and individuals come to them for the need of blood donation and these volunteers immediately rush on the spot to donate blood without hesitating.
…..”Always ready for blood donation! “
Among them is Mr. Rakesh Kumar Insan also known as Rinku Insan who has donated blood more than 50 times. He is not going to stop just at this number! If he has donated blood after every three months, we can assume that it has been around 13 years or more since he started donating blood, which is indeed extraordinary.
4. A Legacy of Compassion on World Humanitarian Day: Amanjot Kaur Insan’s Organ Donation
Millions of Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers have pledged to legally donate their organs after death. Among them was a 20 year old girl, Amanjot Kaur Insan. After she met with a life-claiming road accident on April 26, 2023, Amanjot Kaur Insan’s family donated her body for the cause of humanity instead of cremating her body as per the tradition followed by many.
It was a heart wrenching moment for her family but even then they decided to help humanity. Amanjot’s organs were donated to three people, saving three previous lives who couldn’t be saved without her and her family’s selfless act. This is not just one story. There are many stories like this, encouraging the people from the present and the generations to come.
5. Living Kidney Donor: Narendra Insan’s Generous Act
Donating body or organs even after death is difficult for some. But here are those who donate their kidney when they are living.
“…..How amazing it is!”
Even friends or relatives might hesitate in situations like these. But we know a Dera Sacha Sauda volunteer, the humanity warrior, Narendra Insan, who donated one of his kidneys to a resident of India, KK Sharma. Mr. Narendra Insan has business ventures around the world and Italy.
He was in India when he heard about KK Sharma’s illness and the need of kidney transplant to cure it. He decided to donate his kidney to him. His kidney was found to be a match for KK Sharma. After the legalities were complete, the kidney transplant surgery took place successfully on Friday 28, 2017.
According to Mr. Narendra Insan, he could go beyond his limits only because he was inspired by teachings of his Guru Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan
Conclusion: Inspiration behind this legacy of Heroism for Humanity
It takes more than just willingness to do heroic acts. It takes teachings and inspiration from a true role model. The heroes from Dera Sacha Sauda are not exception to this. Because they also have a mentor whose footsteps they follow to do heroic deeds round the clock.
They all are inspired by their Guru, Saint Dr. MSG also known as Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan.
