Respected Sangat Ji, Dear Veerji, Bhenji, and the vibrant youth of our Sangat,
Looking back at past Samelans, I don't just see a gathering - I see a family, a shared history, and the living heartbeat of our community.
My own journey with Samelans started right where many of our young participants are today. I was just ten years old when I attended my very first Samelan. Back then, it was all about wide-eyed excitement, the thrill of running around with new friends, and the simple joy of being part of something larger than myself.
Over the decades, as the years rolled on, Samelan became far more than an annual date on the calendar. It became a sanctuary. It was here that many of us found our footing, learned what selfless Sewa truly means, discovered the strength of Sangat, and formed bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood that have withstood every test of time and distance. I grew up inside this community - learning from our elders, walking alongside my peers, and eventually stepping up to help carry the torch forward.
Khalsaland has been our beloved home for the last decade, and it's about to undergo some well-deserved upgrading before we head back there soon for our future Samelans in a more structured environment.
Returning to our grassroots and to reconnect deeply with the local Sangat and community, we have chosen Ipoh, Perak for this year's Samelan.
To the Sangat of Perak, with utmost humility, SNSM thanks you for your warm welcome and, with nirmarta, requests your blessings and support to make this Samelan successful. SNSM (Perak), thank you for coming forward to spearhead this Sewa.
Samelans have always held a special place of warmth, love, and the spirit that bridges generations, listens to the heartbeat of our Naujawans, and renews the ties that bind us together.
To all Sewadars, our theme and purpose is clear: to carry forward this noble legacy.
To all our participants, we look forward to welcoming each of you over these coming days, learning together, serving together, and creating lifelong memories as one united Sangat.
Thank you, and may Guru Sahib bless this gathering with unity, Chardi Kala, and boundless prem.
If You, O Lord, are on my side, what do I have to worry about?
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.
