EspañolRADHA SOAMI SATSANG BEAS
'Radha Soami Satsang' (RSS) was founded by Soami Shiv Dayal Singh and Jaimal Singh Ji Maharaj in 1891 at a site called Dera Baba Jaimal Singh on the East bank of the River beas.
Jaimal Singh was one of fifty people who over a period of about nineteen years came to be regarded as spiritual successors of Seth Shiv Dayal Singh, the first leader of Radhasoami Community, often referred to as Sant Mat, the teachings of the Saints.
A chart of this RSS lineage and the five other successor lineages help show the connections among many of the Sant Mat guru lines and branches. The RSSB lineage of spiritual leaders with the dates of their births, deaths, and tenures is as follows:
★ Baba Jaimal Singh (1836 - 1903): 1893 - 1903
★ Baba Sawan Singh (1858 - 1948): 1903 - 1948
★ Sardar Bahadur Jagat Singh (1886 - 1951): 1948 - 1951
★ Maharaj Ji Charan Singh Grewal (1918 - 1990): 1951 - 1990
★ Baba Gurinder Singh (1954 - ): 1990 - present
Adherents worldwide number in the neighborhood of 3,000,000 people.
The term Radha Soami comes from two words. The Radha Soami faith was started in the city of Agra by a Soami named Shiv Dayal, who was the husband of a woman named Radha. 'Radha' means 'The Soul' and 'Soami' means 'Lord'. Therefore 'Radha Soami' means 'Lord of the Soul', The God, The Supreme Power governing and controlling the entire universe.
The Radha Soami Satsang Beas is a spiritual organization centred around Surat- Shabd Yoga( the union of individuated human consciousness with cosmic word or audible life current ). Emphasis is on the need for an embodied spiritual perceptor( Satguru) who initiates disciples into the meditational technique and is their guide in the inward journey. Initiation is a milestone in the life of the devotee as the Guru plants the seeds of spirituality in him or her then. The requirements from the disciple are two and a half hours daily meditation, ethical behaviour, abstinence from adultery and forsaking animal food and intoxicants of all kind. Surat shabd yoga has close parallels with laya-yoga( the yoga of immersion) within the broad spectrum of raja-yoga. Final salvation by immersing the individuated self in God is the aim of the organization and nothing short of it is aspired for.
