The following article is taken from the Dehra Dun ‘Northern Post’ of 2nd April 1971, where it appeared with a large picture of the Master, on Page 1 under the headline ‘At Manav Kendra: Mankind Day Celebrations Today.’ The article reads as follows:
Post News Service, Dehra Dun, Thursday, 1st April – His Holiness Sant Kirpal Singh, Who is celebrating Mankind Day tomorrow at Subhash Nagar in beautifully constructed Manav Kendra on 25 acres of land, which includes an eight-foot deep oval-shaped pool, told the ‘Post’ about His further programme in an exclusive interview.
The tall and cheerful Saint, when asked about how many centres He intends to build in the country and elsewhere, gleefully laughed and said,
God is my budget – I am going on like wildfire.
It may be mentioned that at present there are about 180 Spiritual Centres in the world which are going ahead with the teachings of His Holiness. […] According to Sant Kirpal Singh, the True Integration Day will be celebrated from the level of man as given out by all Rishis and Saints of the past. The celebrations which begin tomorrow morning will continue until late evening.
Earlier, Commissioner Meerut Division P.N. Kapoor visited Manav Kendra and saw hundreds of well-to-do ladies and men working as labourers, projecting an image of selfless devotion towards the great cause of mankind.
