  • India – Dera Sucha Sauda – Sikh – Congress
    Country Advice India Dera Sucha Sauda – Sikh – Congress – 2007 clashes 8 December 2009 1 Please provide background information on Sikhs and the Dera Sacha Sauda sect. Is this a Sikh organization? The Dera Sacha Sauda (DSS) website provides information on the organisation stating that “Sacha Sauda is not a new religion, cult, sect or wave” instead is a “spiritual activity by which God is worshipped under the guidance of Satguru”: Sacha Sauda is not a new religion, cult, sect or wave. Sacha Sauda is that spiritual activity by which God is worshipped under the guidance of Satguru... Many saints and seers incarnated in this mortal world and inspired us to do this Sacha Sauda and became the guiding lights of spirtuality. These saints and seers were knowers of this supreme science and tried to make this mystical subject easy for the common man. One such torchbearer of spirituality was Beparwah Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj who did the most noble of services to mankind by establishing in1948 the spiritual college of Dera Sacha Sauda in order to save people from the complexities, malpractices and superficial rituals that had been afflicting religion and for the salvation of souls. 1 The website also outlines the organisation’s principles which indicate a progressive outlook respecting all religions equally and jettisoning certain orthodoxies and rituals. A former member of the sect is likely to have some knowledge of these principles: 1. In Dera Sacha Sauda all religions are equally honoured and welcomed. 2. Dera Sacha Sauda believes in humanity as the greatest religion and is involved in the true service of humanity.
