My newly developed interest in
the significance of spirituality has made me aware about the various spiritual
organizations we have in our country. While I was busy exploring more about
Dera Sacha Sauda, I got a call from Jatin, an old friend who was in town and
wanted to catch up.
We decided to go out for dinner
and even before he could order the starters, I started chattering about my new
explorations. Me and Jatin, we have graduated school together but after a few
years his family shifted to Punjab. I told him everything I knew about Dera
Sacha Sauda and how it has got me hooked completely. He told me that his family
has started to follow a spiritual organization as well. It’s called Radha Soami
Satsang which is based in the Beas neighborhood of Punjab.
Radha Soami Satsang Beas is a
spiritual/philosophical organization whose core values are derived from the
teachings of all the religions we have in our country. The teachings of the
organization are aimed at developing inner peace through the power of
spirituality. I was stunned to realize that RSSB is active in more than 90
countries and unlike many other non-profit societies; it has no affiliation to
any political or commercial groups.
Jatin also told me about Dera
Baba Jaimal Singh, which is a RSSB community that shelters more than 350,000
devotees on daily basis. The Dera is one of the most effectively planned self-sustaining
communities of our country.
Now, I have got another fabulous
‘research topic’ to explore!
