Maharaj Kirpal Singh Ji and Ruhani Satsang

It was in 1948, that with the blessings of the Great Master, and in accordance with His wishes, the foundation of Ruhani Satsang was well and truly laid for the work of imparting Spiritual Instructions to the seekers of God and granting them a first-hand experience of the Divine Revelation of the twin principle of Holy Light and Sound in the human body. It was in furtherance of this Sacred Trust and Mission of Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj that three years later the foundation was laid in Delhi of a regular Spiritual centre in Sawan Ashram (1951), after the name of his illustrious mentor. According to much cherished desire of Hazur it provides a common forum, a common meeting ground, for leaders professing different religious faiths, creeds and beliefs, with the sole purpose of placing in lucid terms before the public at large the quintessence or all the Sacred Scriptures – the Al-Quran and the Granth Sahib and the works of other Saints and Mystics of the East and the West, all of which relate, of course each in its own way and in the language of the time, the Spiritual Experience of their authors, founded as they are on the common fundamental truths which run alike, like the silken thread of a rosary with many beautiful beads on it.

In the short space of hardly two decades, this Spiritual Centre has grown like a bay tree. It has now a network of many nuclei all the world over and has helped the people in many countries to transcend all kinds of superficial barriers territorial, local, racial national linguistic and religious and to come close to each other, first as humans, then as embodied souls and lastly as worshippers of the one Controlling Power called Oversoul or God. To see the Divine in one’s own self and in the universe around is the acme of human perfection and the summum bonum of human life. It is efflorescence of the soul in fullness, embracing the totality of its being, and raising man into the Mystery of the Beyond, knowing which everything else becomes known and nothing remains to be known, as proclaimed by the Sages and Seers in all times and in all climes.
