The Agarwal Vaishya Samaj of Spangle Condos, Zirakpur, celebrated Maharaja Agrasen Jayanti with a programme focused on unity, service, equality and brotherhood. Community leaders, senior citizens, young people and local residents took part.
The aim, organisers said, was to spread Maharaja Agrasen’s ideals and strengthen values of service, equality, non-violence, compassion and cooperation in society.
Guests
Dr Vivek Goyal, Additional Sessions Judge, Yamunanagar, was the chief guest. Other prominent guests included Hukum Chand Goyal, national president of the Agarwal Sangathan and president of the Chandigarh Jewellers’ Association; Panchkula Mayor Sham Lal Bansal; Panchkula BJP district president Ajay Mittal; former Zirakpur Mayor Udayveer; BJP mandal president Satpal Bansal; and Amit Gautam of the Swadeshi Jagran Manch.
Bhajans and Discourses
The Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan presented a narration of Maharaja Agrasen’s life and ideals, along with a bhajan sandhya and spiritual discourse, which moved those present. Speakers urged people to adopt Maharaja Agrasen’s principles and strengthen love and harmony in society.
Why It Matters: “One Brick, One Rupee”
The programme highlighted Maharaja Agrasen’s famous tradition of “ek eent, ek rupaya” (one brick, one rupee). According to tradition, every family in his city of Agroha would give a newcomer one brick and one rupee, enough to build a home and start a business. Speakers described it as an enduring symbol of social cooperation, equality and collective progress.
In modern housing societies, where neighbours often remain strangers, such community celebrations help revive that spirit of mutual support.
Vote of Thanks
Navdeep Bansal, state secretary of the Agarwal Vaishya Samaj and state in-charge of its youth student wing, thanked all guests, the Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan team, senior members, young volunteers and the Spangle Condos residents. “With everyone’s cooperation, participation and blessings, this event became successful and memorable,” he said.
Many members of the community attended and congratulated the organisers on the initiative.
The Bottom Line
In Zirakpur, Maharaja Agrasen Jayanti became more than a celebration: a reminder that his message of “one brick, one rupee” still speaks to communities today.
