Shri Mahakal Seva Samiti Pilgrimage Group Returns Joyfully After Successful Shri Amarnath Yatra

Ludhiana (Amrish Anand): A 25-member group of Shiva devotees from Mahakal Seva Samiti, Jalandhar Bypass, under the leadership of prominent social worker and devout Shiv Bhakt Shri Varinder Kumar Kofi, has returned safely and joyfully after completing the sacred Shri Amarnath Yatra. The group undertook the journey in a spiritual and family-like atmosphere to seek the divine darshan of Shri Him Shivling.On this special occasion, it was highlighted that by successfully providing yatra services for the first time, the Samiti has created a historic milestone not only for the region but also within Ludhiana district. Following the darshan of Shri Him Shivling, the entire group of volunteers and pilgrims raised devotional chants outside the holy cave, offering their heartfelt gratitude and praying for the blessing to undertake this sacred journey every year.Devotees and volunteers from various districts of Punjab were part of the yatra and appreciated the arrangements made by the administration. However, several existing pilgrims voiced their concerns over the loss of valuable belongings including mobile phones, cash, and bags.Pilgrims Shammi Shinda and Gulab Singh jointly expressed criticism regarding the suspension of mobile SIM cards from Punjab upon entering Jammu, labeling it a conspiracy aimed at benefiting telecom companies while causing unnecessary trouble for devotees. They pointed out that even when the SIMs are deactivated, apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Telegram continue functioning via local SIM cards or Wi-Fi. Therefore, blocking SIMs in the name of security only leads to inconvenience without serving its intended purpose. They demanded that all pilgrims be allowed to use their own SIM cards during the pilgrimage to stay connected with their families and businesses during such a challenging journey.On this occasion, devotee Honey Koffi extended heartfelt gratitude to all the Shiv Bhakts who made history by offering selfless services during the Amarnath Yatra for the very first time. He also thanked those who organized langars with full dedication, the soldiers of the Indian Armed Forces, and even the mute service animals—horses, mules, and porters—without whom the pilgrimage would not have been possible. He emphasized that the Shri Amarnath Yatra continues to strengthen the spirit of unity and integrity across the nation every year.Apart from Honey Koffi, other prominent devotees present on this occasion included Shammi Shinda, journalist Amrish Anand, Gulab Singh, Vineet Sharma, Raghav Kapoor, Omkar, Manish, Prince Sharma, Sahil Sharma, Vimal Kareer, Deepak, Sahil, Rajni Kofi, Muskaan Koffi, Reetu Dawar, Damini, Jyoti, Rimmy, Pooja Sandhu, and Sarabjeet Kaur, along with several other devoted participants.
