Chabeel Sewa held to mark martyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev
Varanasi: To mark the martyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev (the fifth Sikh Guru), a Chabeel Sewa was organised at the National Centre of Ageing (NCA) on Friday.
The event began with an ardas (prayer) which paid tribute to Guru's unmatched sacrifice and served as a reminder of his unwavering faith, his message of universal brotherhood and his peaceful resistance in the face of tyranny.
As part of the sewa, refreshing chilled drinks and light snacks were distributed to hundreds of patients, caregivers, hospital staff, and visitors echoing the Sikh tradition of serving all without distinction.
The event was held under the leadership of director of the Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Prof SN Sankhwar, and NCA nodal officer Prof Anup Singh.
Prof Singh said such acts of service are not only culturally significant but also serve to strengthen the moral fabric of the medical and caregiving community.
"This observance at the National Centre of Ageing reflects a broader commitment to blending clinical care with compassion, tradition with service, and remembrance with community outreach — honouring the past while inspiring present and future generations," he said.
