IMPRESSIVE LDH MOHYAL MELA As Chief Guest Rzd. B.D. Bali accompanied by Guest of Honour Shri Rajeshwar Chaudhary arrived at the venue of MS Ludhiana Mohyal Mela venue, they were both accorded a warm floral welcome by office bearers of MS Ludhiana led by MS Ludhiana President Sardar Amolak Singh Datta, amidst chorus of Jai Mohyal. On completion of registration formalities they were escorted for the hoisting of the Mohyal Flag followed by Mohyal Prayer. Chief Guest Rzd. B.D. Bali was requested by Bakshi Dwarka Nath Chhibber, advocate and ace comperer of the Mela proceeding, to declare open the Mela by lighting the traditional lamp amidst spontaneous clapping by the large number of biradari members. The members stood up in silence in homage to the members of the biradari who had passed away recently. A number of children participated in the cultural programme, and their speeches and performances received wide acclamation by the audience. Chief Guest Rzd. B.D. Bali in his address expressed profound grief and sorrow at the demise of the daughter-in-law of MS Ludhiana President Sardar Amolak Singh Datta, on behalf of GMS MC Members and on behalf of the entire Mohyal fraternity. He said that he had talked with MS Ludhiana general secretary Shri Ved Pal Mohan and advised him to postpone the mela but he said that due to time lag, it is not possible to do it as a large number of invitations have gone out. Well, that is the way the Lord God’s will has to prevail. Bali Sahib referred to the earlier times when the GMS meetings were held under leaking tin shed. Today, GMS, due to the benign grace of the Almighty has modern buildings and assets over Rs.200 crores. God was merciful to our community which had lost their all, following the upheaval of partition of the country. In a forceful address he exhorted the Mohyals of Ludhiana, who are all well placed to build their own Mohyal Bhawan, and that his services were always available to them to meet the high officials and others for allotment of land. He referred to the example of Mohyals of Hoshiarpur who had collected funds and GMS had granted them a matching grant. They should all emulate the example of MS Hoshiarpur. He asked the large number of members present who desired to have their own Mohyal Bhawan to raise their hands. In unison the hands went up. He was assured that Mohyals of Ludhiana would raise Rs.5 lakhs within six months and seek GMS matching grant. There was exuberance prevailing all around at this decision. Several persons announced their donations for the Bhawan Fund. Earlier, Bakshi N.D. Datta and Shri J.P. Mehta were also accorded a warm floral welcome as they arrived at the Mela venue. Bakshi N.D. Datta presented a cheque for Rs.5100 to MS Ludhiana on behalf of GMS President RZD. B.D. Bali. Shri Rajeshwar Choudhary also presented Rs. 5000 to MS Ludhiana. A number of Local Sabhas representatives also donated liberally to MS Ludhiana. A special feature was the awarding of prizes to new-born children’s parents and also to newly wed couples. Shri K.K. Vaid and Dr. Bakshi offered scholarships to deserving and meritorious students of the community. With the presentation of mementos to all the participants and members present, including Rzd. B.D.

ALL INDIA MOHYAL YOUTH CAMP-2007 AT JALANDHAR The 3rd Mohyal Camp was held at Jalandhar from 24th-26th of Nov., 2007. I along with Guneet Mehta, Balram Datta, Kunal Datta and Nikal Mehta representing Faridabad Mohyal Sabha left for Jalandhar, by the bus arranged by GMS. During the journey, we met some new friends, Ridhi Datta from Gurgaon, and Vimal Bali and Kamal Bali from Mehrauli. It was wonderful, enjoying with peer group, and very exciting to be in the company of Shri J.L. Bali, Shri Harsh Datta, Shri P.L. Bali and Shri G.L. Mehta, from whom we learnt a lot.
On reaching Jalandhar, we were given a warm welcome by Shri Ashwani Bali, Shri Yogesh Mehta, Shri Pushap Bali, Sh. Ashok Datta, Shri Pawan Bali, Shri S.K. Dutta (President MS Jalandhar) and Shri Ravi Nandan Choudhary (Sheru). Next morning, at the Lions Club, we were given an opportunity to express our views on four topics, given by Dr. Ashok Lav, viz., In what way Youth expect guidance/help from Mohyal Industrialists? A feeling of pride ran through me and, simultaneously, I felt it a great honour that our elders had placed their faith on us. We tried to avail of this opportunity in the best possible manner. Guneet Mehta, Vikas Bali, Gautam Mohan, and I presented our views in front of all. Our suggestion for a separate Business Column in Mohyal Mitter was really appreciated. Everyone admitted that Youth can avail of it to get maximum benefit from the experience of the venerable veterans. Rzd. B.D. Bali assured the youth that they will consider the suggestions. The programme ended with the rocking D.J. and Punjabi Dhol. The trip was full of fun, excitement and new experiences. I, as the representative of Mohyal Sabha Faridabad, admire the initiative taken by GMS to encourage the participation of Youth. I am greatly obliged to it. The hospitality of Shri Rajeshwar Choudhary (Datta), Shri Pushap Bali, Shri Vinod Datta, Shri Varun Bali, Shri Pawan Bali and their team made us feel at home. I heartily thank GMS and Mohyal Sabha Jalandhar for arranging the wonderful camp and would really request them to give us more opportunity of the same kind in future. —Dhruv Datta (By mistake, the photo of Dhruv Datta was published in MM-Jan. 2008 (page-9), with a write-up of another Dhruv Datta. The mistake is regretted.–Editor MM). Dear Sir, We, attended the All India Mohyal Youth Camp-07 from 24th Nov. to 26 Nov. 07 at Jalandhar. We liked the view of Devi Talab Temple & place where we stayed. We were very happy and liked the arrangements made by the local sabha in the temple premises. We liked the cultural programmes very much which touched our heart deeply. A group discussion was also arranged on the topic (Role of Mohyal Youth) which was really appreciated by us. We also gave our suggestions on the above topic. Everyone liked the suggestions very much. We were glad to listen to the views, speeches, comments, etc of the Chief Guest Rzd. B.D. Bali (the backbone and pillar of GMS, high visionary, affectionate attitude, lovely nature, dynamic personality and widely known for his qualities of head and heart), Guest of Honour Sh. Rajeshwar Choudhary (Trustee GMS), also members, students etc. We also liked the surprise gift and lottery ticket programme organised by the sabha. All arrangements made by the sabha were very very good. We really appreciate the hard work/efforts done by the sabha to make the programme a grand success. Meeting the Mohyal members is a memorable and lovely experience. We learn many things from them and never forget it. We heartily thank the MS Jalandhar and GMS for organising such a grand function. We also hope that these camps will be organised once in a year (not in two or three years). We give special thanks to Shri Pushap Bali for the arrangements made by him in the temple premises. We will try our level best to come with more Mohyal Youth members so that the number of participants is increased. We are proud to be Mohyals and will always work for the betterment, welfare, & upliftment of the community and the country. —Ankush Bali, Jyoti Bali GMS HAS DONE IT AGAIN SURBHI MEHTA Here, on this GMS platform, parents are given such a fabulous choice of eligible girls and boys for their sons and daughters, respectively. Earlier, parents had only one or two choices in hand. They had to find an eligible match for their children only from such a limited choice. Now, on the ‘Matrimonial Mela’ day, GMS is giving wide choices to these parents by providing a list of marriageable boys and girls along with their education, job, date of birth, whether they are manglik or non-manglik. Alongwith the list, on Matrimonial Mela Day, GMS also provided computers and Pandits to make and match the horoscopes for the convenience of the parents. I, on behalf of the whole Mohyal biradari, take the privilege to appreciate and congratulate GMS, who under the supreme guidance of Rzd. B.D. Bali has made such a laudable effort by organising the ‘Matrimonial Mela’ to strengthen the Mohyal biradari.

Major Himkar Vaid BRIEF HISTORY OF NOIDA MOHYAL SABHA Noida had come up as a Satellite Township of Delhi in the early eighties and people started settling down here. The pioneering efforts of a few dedicated Mohyals like Shri Y.P. Datta, Shri O.P. Bakshi, Shri R.L. Bali etc. culminated in the formation of Noida Mohyal Sabha (NMS) and its first meeting was held on 17.5.1987. The first Executive Committee was elected on 14.6.1987, with Shri Vidya Sagar Mehta (Mohan) as President, Shri Y.P. Datta as Secretary and S/Shri J.M. Mohan, H.L. Bali, J.C. Chhibber, R.L. Bali, Gp. Capt. B.S. Bakshi (Chhibber), H.D. Datta, Randhir Vaid and S.L. Mohan as Members. Shri Vidya Sagar Mehta (Mohan) s/o Mehta Gian Singh Mohan of Veeram Dattan, Sialkot District (now Pak.), ‘Founder President’ of NMS, was a symbol of true Mohyaliat, who worked for the Mohyal Community throughout his life with full dedication and determination. He had retired from the Punjab Police Service as Dy. Supdt. of Police and settled in Noida. After the death of his wife, Smt. Sham Mehta, he donated land for Mohyal Ashram at Jalandhar, which has been christened as Sham Mehta Memorial Bhai Mati Das Mohyal Ashram. He left for his heavenly abode on 01 March 2001 at the age of 86 years. All the members of subsequent Managing Committees, with Presidents, Shri R.L. Vaid and Shri S.L. Datta, and Secretaries, Shri Y.P. Datta, Gp. Capt. B.S. Bakshi and Shri K.K. Mehta, with their dedicated teams, continued to make useful contributions for the cause of the community. Lt. Gen. G.L. Bakshi, PVSM (Retd.) was unanimously elected as President of NMS in Jan. 1999. Other members of the present Executive Committee are Shri Ram Avtar Chhibber, IPS (Retd.) and Col. P.S. Datta, Vice-President, Capt. B.K. Vaid, Secretary, Lt. Col. P.K. Bali, Treasurer, and Smt. Brij Mohini Datta, Joint Secretary. The NMS has been holding regular meetings on the first Sunday of every month which are attended by a large number of members including ladies. The first Mohyal Mela was organized on 8.5.1988 and, thereafter, it has become almost an annual feature. Various competitions, viz. games, songs, jokes, dances, quiz competitions, cultural programmes, magic shows, fancy dress, musical chairs, balloon bursting, jumping, lucky draws etc. are held, in which children and ladies take part very enthusiastically. Prizes are given to the lucky winners. The meritorious students are also rewarded at these special functions. The NMS also honours the Mohyal veterans, who have attained the age of 75 years. So far, six members, viz. Mrs. Iqbal Datta w/o the late Col. Gurdev Singh Datta, Shri Chaman Lal Bali s/o the late Shri Lekhraj Bali, Shri Om Prakash Mehta (Lau) s/o the late Shri Kripa Ram Mehta, Col. M.M. Bakshi s/o the late Shri D.R. Bakshi, Smt.

A number of out-door picnics at scenic places have been organised, including a visit to the Mohyal Ashram, Haridwar. All these functions have helped in uniting and bringing together all the community members, including ladies and children. The NMS is affiliated to the GMS. Most of the members of the sabha are Life Members of GMS and are also contributing liberally to various GMS Funds i.e. Langar Fund, Education Fund, Benevolent Fund etc. NMS members have taken part in maximum numbers in the activities of GMS, including Mohyal Milans, meetings of Presidents and Secretaries of local sabhas, inauguration functions of Mohyal Ashram and Sewa Sadan, Haridwar, Match-making get-togethers, Mohyal Youth Seminar, All-India Mohyal Conference, Annual General Meeting etc. and have made valuable contributions in furthering the cause of Mohyaliat. The NMS representative member attends the monthly meetings of GMS Managing Committee. The monthly meetings of NMS are full of enjoyable events, like Tambola, and intellectual discussions on various topics of National and International importance, followed by a sumptuous lunch served by the host-family. So far, important topics of Budget, Investment, Entry of Lady Officers in the Armed Forces, Sachar Committee Report, Indo-US Nuclear Agreement, New Pension Scheme, etc. have been discussed. This has helped in enhancing the general awareness of the members. NMS members always take keen interest and strive hard for the welfare and alround upliftment of the Mohyal Community. It is a matter of great pride and privilege for NMS that during the Mohyal Mela organized by the GMS at the school premises near GMS Office, New Delhi on 23.9.2007, our President, Lt. Gen. G.L. Bakshi, PVSM (Retd.) s/o the late Shri Madhusudan Lal Bakshi (Chhibber) and the late Smt. Lajyawanti Bakshi, has been bestowed with the honour of “Mohyal Gaurav’’ by Rzd. B.D. Bali, President, GMS, in appreciation and recognition of his achievements in service and untiring efforts and contributions made towards the welfare of the Mohyal Community. Earlier, Gp. Capt. B.S. Bakshi, the then Secretary, NMS had been honoured with ‘Mohyal Gaurav Award’ during the 50th All India Mohyal Conference at Bhopal on 18th - 19th January, 2003. —Ram Avtar Chhibber, IPS (Retd.) “LIFE OF A TEENAGER’’ A teenager’s life is full of zest as well as bliss. It is the age during which a teenager–whether a boy or girl–is fully active and has a lot of anxieties and tension in him/her. It is a time of dilemma, but the most rapturous time of life. Besides this it is the time of life when an individual comes to know and sees the real meaning of life-what is it? and what is it meant for? etc. He/ she tastes the brunt of life which is really very bitter, as a result, the dreams get shattered. He/she undergoes many biological, physical as well as psychological changes. During this period, a teenager learns to develop his/her personality, which, later on, has a great influence on his/her character. Whatever a teenager grabs and whichever factors help him/her to develop his/her character and the environment in which he/she has been brought up may lead him/her either to the wrong way or to the right path. So, a teenager should always be alert and concerned about his/her company and habits. Apart from this, some of the teenagers land up into taking drugs, which, once it becomes a habit, is very difficult to give up. Some of the affluent teenagers also start smoking and drinking which is very harmful. Not only this, many teenagers get confused with the word “sex’’ and land up into problems. On the whole, a teenager’s life is very tight. As a student, he/she has lots to study. But then, one should always devote one’s time and energy to other activities and sport, to ensure one’s allround development. —N.K.

Gen. Bakshi is the son of the late Shri Ram Singh Bakshi, a landlord in Bakshiana, Tehsil Guzarkhan, Rawalpindi (Pak.) & Smt. Pushpawanti Bakshi, and the grandson of the late Sardari Lal Dutt Bakshi, who was a Jagirdar in Kashmir. He was commissioned in the Indian Army in 1971 and has recently retired as an Electronic & Mechanical Engineering Corps Officer, after a prestigious career of 36 years. He was one of the first graduates to pass out from the Meerut University, is a Life Member of the Computer Society of India, Fellow of the Institute of Engineers, Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management from JMM, Delhi, and the only Mohyal officer, who was selected for doing M. Tech. in Computers from Granfield University in UK, which he completed with outstanding grades in 1981. He was awarded VSM in 2003 during ‘Operation Parakram’, the only such officer in the Corps.

Website of GMS: Shri Yogesh Mehta stated that the GMS Website needs regular updating; even though updating is being done, but since this is being got done through an outside agency in NOIDA (for which GMS is paying them a substantial amount as monthly and annual fee), there is delay in updating. He suggested that this work may be taken over by GMS itself, by which the site could be updated even on a day-to-day basis. This would also save the expenditure being incurred on payment of fee to the outside agency. Dr. Rattan Datta, CEO, MERIT, informed that the matter was already under consideration and that the Website would be brought under MERIT, within two month. Registration of the Nursery School at Dehradun: Shri D.V. Mohan stated that a GMS Team had recently visited the school in Dehradun and found that it was doing extremely well. In order to get recognition from the local authorities, it was necessary to get the school registered. But such registration may not be necessary if the same is run by an already registered organization. The school is being run by the GMS office at Dehradun, but that office has not been formally notified as a Branch Office of GMS. It was, therefore, necessary that the GMS Managing Committee declare it as Branch Office, through a formal Resolution. Accordingly, the Secretary General placed before the house the following Resolution for consideration and approval: Whereas the General Mohyal Sabha was first established in the year 1891 at Lahore (now in Pakistan) and subsequently shifted and registered with the Registrar of Societies at Delhi on August 16, 1955 and, registered as a charitable organization with the Income Tax Authorities on September 15, 1984 at New Delhi and further by virtue of Article 3 of the Constitution of the Sabha its jurisdiction extends to the whole of India and abroad. To achieve the aims and objects of the Sabha as enunciated in Article 5 of its constitution, the Managing Committee of the Sabha in its meeting held on November 11, 2007 passed the following resolution: “Resolved to open a Branch Office of the General Mohyal Sabha at Dehradun in the state of Uttrakhand to render useful service to the general public as mentioned in Article 5 of the Constitution of the Sabha. The Branch Office will be known as “General Mohyal Sabha (Regd.), Branch Office, Dehradun.” This branch office will be looked after by a Manager to deal with the day to day matters with the concerned authorities.” Further resolved that a copy of this resolution along with an authenticated copy of the Constitution may be forwarded to the concerned authorities at Dehradun.” The house unanimously adopted the Resolution. It was also decided that a copy of the Resolution may be sent to the Manager of the school for being forwarded to the educational and other authorities concerned in the Government of Uttarakhand.

Mohan, Vice-President As You Breathe, So Shall You Live The simplest way to build a harmonious relationship with life is to develop a loving, joyful and a friendly relationship with your breath. Understand your breath, its ways of working and develop a friendly relationship with it. Breath is the carrier of vital life force within us that makes our body-mind organisation function and survive. If you look at breath as life itself, your landscape will change. The love, sanctity and value you give to this great spontaneous phenomenon called ‘breathing’ will tend to completely change the way you breathe. Then if you breathe slowly, just 20 times with a smile, your eyes closed, you will experience deep within a feeling of joy in all those organs where you perceive the smooth touch of breath. When you look at your breath as if it were your constant and unfailing friend, that quality of relationship brings about a profound change in any breathing method you practise. You will soon realise that the way you breathe, is the way you live. This is how complex life turns simple. Eight factors that change your relationship to life with reference to the way you breathe are: the flow of breath you allow in your body, the pace with which you breathe, the rhythm you follow, the number of times you breathe or frequency of breath, body posture you hold while breathing, vibrations you produce, the attention and serenity with which you breathe, and finally, your sensitivity to experience the touch of breath in every organ it touches as you breathe. The way you learn to synchronise all these aspects into one compact process of breathing is what will change your relationship with your body and mind. It is simply profound as well as profoundly simple. You will begin to like yourself as you feel the pleasing, calming sensation deep breath brings about. You will experience a deep sense of undisturbed peace within. When you pay attention to the beauty with which life rests within you, for the first time, you will experience what it is to feel alive. Our relationship with breath tends to be simple, direct and proportionate. So if you breathe slowly and attentively you feel the touch of breath as you breathe in and out. You will experience a deep sense of peace. If you breathe with great satisfaction, you will feel the grace of life. When you breathe selectively into each of your organs like kidneys, intestines, heart or head and feel the touch of breath, you will experience great healing. How many times you breathe and how regularly you do it directly decides the proportion of well being you will feel. If you think of life as a great struggle, or the world as a battlefield where you have to compete with and overcome others, you will turn yourself into a warrior who has no room for peace or reconciliation in life. Then if you seek freedom or happiness, you will look for it beyond this life, not while you are living. The world that appears outside you is in fact a reflection, a mirror image, of how you feel within.

It will be better if the parents/guardians bring photos of the boys/girls concerned, at the get-together. Mrs. Amba Bali, Convener ANTIM YATRA HOW GRAND IS DEATH How grand is the old conception of Death? The virtuous find rest; the wicked are engulfed therein. In death, each reverts to that from which it came. Our sages and saints regarded death as a return of life, as an absence from home. And he, who forgets his home, becomes an Outcaste and a byword in his generation. G.M.S. expresses its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and prays to God to grant eternal peace to the departed souls and strength to their families to bear with fortitude their irreparable loss. — D.V. Mohan, Secretary General
SMT. YAGIA DEVI CHHIBBER n Everyone would wish to breathe one’s last and leave for one’s heavenly abode the way Smt. Yagia Devi Chhibber left for her final journey on 01.01.2008. She had spent a normal day, walked to the temple in the evening and was listening/watching Hanuman Chalisa on TV. She kept on sitting there (with closed eyes) when her children realised that she was no more. What a saintly way of departing-without a sigh, without pain and without any complaint!!!
She was married, in 1945 at Chakwal to the late Bhai Krishan Lal Chhibber (son of the late Bhai Devi Das ji Chhibber and the late Smt. Gurdai ji of Karyala). She was born to the late Dr. Pishori Lal Mehta (son of the late Risaldar Moolraj ji Mehta (Bhimwal) and the late Smt. Jamuna Devi of Kariyala) and the late Smt. Ram Ditti, on the day of the ‘Mundan Ceremony–Yagya (Havan)’ of her elder brother, the late Shri Thakur Dutt Mehta in June 1926. She was elder sister of Smt. Bimla Vaid (wife of Mehta K.L. Vaid) and myself. Smt. Yagia was noble, humane, kind-hearted and God- fearing. She was always smiling, contented and ever willing to step forward with a helping hand. She was so farsighted, mature and learned that she inculcated great qualities and values not only in her children but in me, also. She encouraged me to aspire high and I sincerely believe that I am what I am because of her affectionate nurture. So deep was her love for each and every relationship that each relative felt that she loved him/her more than anyone else. She has left behind a legacy of noble values for each one of us. If we can follow even a fraction of that, our lives would also become as simple as she made hers seem to be. As a daughter, as a wife, as a mother, as a grandmother, as a sister and as a senior member of the family, she played each role to perfection. Such was the persona of my sister-the Yagia Chhibber.
