  • Who Was Sant Kirpal Singh?
    Sant Kirpal Singh His Mission in the Golden Age Special Edition Bild Foreword This book has been written on the on-set of the Golden Age, when one has to stand on all four pillars: Truth, Penance, Compassion and Charity. In the Golden Age contentment is the carriage and truth is the driver. Gods, goddesses, avataras and the negative power are privileged to witness the shortcomings of a disciple of the competent Master and are free to control him without any hindrance. I could not be crowded by these powers, as my Master blessed me with all possibilities here and hereafter and provided me with all the four gifts of my life. Credit goes to my Master who endured lots of hardships within during all the 14 years, 1974 - 1988, when He could weave the soft and gold- en linen and helped all human beings to shed off and throw away the ragged and dirty clothes they wore since long. 25th December, 1990 St. Gilgen, Austria Harbhajan Singh Introduction Truth is eternal, and all Masters taught the same old Truth with one opinion, but their commandments differed according to the prevalent conditions of their time. In our days Sant Kirpal Singh gave this teaching along with the practical demonstration to all who were yearning for it. His Mission came from the Highest, and so was His Power. He came with a special purpose. He had given remarkable hints, specially during the last two years of His earthly sojourn. Many people could not under- stand the deep meaning when Master said, “Mind, that the Golden Age is approaching!” When He left His physical body, it was heard everywhere that Master had left 14 years ahead.

They don't care about all these things while the Saint is alive; but when the Saints leave this world, their incredible power and their teachings which change the lives of many people impress the people of the world, and only then-when the Saint is gone-do the people of the world start thinking about them and devoting themselves to them. So that is why, according to the understanding of the people, stories are told about the Saints. It is very difficult to find out much about the Mahatmas of the past-their birth, their place of birth, their parents, their early life, etc.

  • Make a Habit of Meditating Sant Ajaib Singh Ji
    Make a Habit of Meditating Sant Ajaib Singh Ji a meditation talk given in March 1986 Make the mind quiet as only a quiet mind can meditate, do not understand meditation as a burden, do it lovingly. While medi- tating don't pay any attention to the outer disturbances, don't allow your mind to wander outside, concentrate him at the Eye Center. The seat of our mind and soul is between the two eyes where usually the Indian women put the tika, or the signs. This is the place where our journey begins; this is the door of our home. Meditation seems difficult to us as long as we do not adopt it, as long as we do not start doing it. But when we start doing it, when we adopt it, since it is according to the laws of Nature, it becomes very easy for us to meditate and gradually, as we go on meditating, we become competent in it. In the beginning it is very difficult for us to meditate because we have not made the habit of meditating and, since we have not made a habit of meditating, that is why sometimes we have pain in the legs, sometimes we have pain in the knees. This is only because we have not made our mind quiet. Making the mind quiet means that we should not think of anything except the work for which we are sitting. When we sit for the medita- tion mind creates thoughts and desires, the thoughts which he has had since ages and ages, birth after birth; when he involves us in all those kinds of thoughts and desires, then it becomes restless.

The addresses of the Group Leaders, Secretaries, etc., are included so that anyone proposing to see the Master at any place may write the local leader directly and obtain all relevant informa- tion from him or her. Please write the local leader before visiting any of these places. This is important because the availability of accommodations varies enormously from place to place and also because the local people need to know in advance how many are coming, so that they can plan accurately. Priority in private interviews at each place will be given to the dear ones living at those places and/or to those who will not be able to see the Master anywhere else.

  • BOHR Vs. EINSTEIN
    SACH KHAND THE JOURNAL OF RADHASOAMI STUDIES | Issue Two | MSAC Philosophy Group | Mt. San Antonio College | Walnut, California 91789 | USA | The Guru in America The Radhasoami tradition, as founded by Shiv Dayal Singh in Agra in 1861, has been highly influential in the development of several new religions in North America and elsewhere. However, little work has been done in showing how Radhasoami has been transplanted into American soil and the impact it has had on the spiritual marketplace. Utilizing socio-historical/textual analysis, this study begins by exploring the emergence of Radhasoami as a transnational religion, focusing on the development of Radhasoami in America since the early part of this century. The objective is to illustrate its influence on several guru movements in America, paying close attention to how society, in particular, alters the Bhagat Singh Thind manifestation of religious groups and their respective theology. By charting such lines of influence among religions, we may then begin to get a much keener understanding of how and why religions evolve the way they do. Among the guru movements genealogically and theologically connected to Radhasoami are: Paul Twitchell's Eckankar; John- Roger Hinkins' Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness [MSIA]; and Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind's Sikh Study Groups. In addition, there are numerous smaller groups who have been influenced by Radhasoami which do not have as yet many members. Nonetheless, these "virtual" groups are important not only because they contribute to the plurality of religion in America, but they give us access to study the evolutionary beginnings of a group which may develop into a well known entity or at least serve as a micro-bridge for future movements.

KirpalShah, the Formless One! We have only Your Protection. Y SATCURUKIRPAL'S MOST BELOVED SANCAT: I wish a Happy M New Year to you. In this Iron Age, Kirpal Shah [the Emperor Kirpal], the supreme Master of this lowly Ajaib, is the only one Who can make us free from all our pains and difficulties. That is why we should always remember Him and should know that we have come into this world as a foreigner from our eternal home, Sach Khand; and if we won't remember Him here in this realm of the Negative Power we will be destroyed by the Negative Power. We are the fortunate ones to have Almighty God in the form of Beloved Kirpal as our protector. Be strong in His devotion and understand Him. Don't become blind. Those who did not make their eye fit to see His Home while living on this plane had a very hard time and died suffering. Those who made their eyes fit to see Him, saw their home, Sach Khand, while sitting in this world. But the unfortunate ones who did not understand that Supreme Master, and remained unconscious of God's Grace working in Him, were not benefited by Him. If they had seen Him with their higher consciousness, they would have appreciated Him and would have solved the mystery of life.

Hull. Copyright O 1960 by Pantheon Books, Inc. Reprinted by permission of Pantheon Books, a Division of Random House, Inc. Copyright O 1980 by Russell Perkins Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 80-51959 ISBN: 80-89142-037-1 Second printing, 1989 Photocomposition and printing by The Sant Bani Press, Tilton, N.H. To my Guru who met me and loved me first as Kirpal then as Ajaib from whom this book came to whom it is returned In most books, the I, or first person, is omitted; in this it will be retained; that, in respect to egotism, is the main dif- ference. THOREAU: WALDEN Preface This is a true story. Parts of it may be hard to believe, but they are true all the same. The narrative covers the entire period of my association with my guru, Kirpal Singh; the period of terrible confusion following his physical death in 1974; and the sweet and wonderful way in which I was dragged to the meeting with his successor, Ajaib Singh. It ends with my second trip to Ajaib Singh's ashram, in May 1976. The story of course did not end there; but the many things that have happened since then-the beautiful, very fruitful association with Ajaib Singh, the tremendous ex- pansion of his work, the way in which hundreds of Westerners every year leave civilization behind for a two- week sojourn in his desert ashram, his world tours-may someday find their way into a book of their own: they are too much for this one.
