They take the gurbani written in Sikh scriptures and offer discourses or sing it. They change words of the Sikh Gurus writings and label it as Radha soami shabad. Their Santa act like Demi gods. Their followers call them almighty etc. Well hats off to these Sants. They have established a great business. </p>the9thGate commented on 'Radha Soami Satsang Beas buys a $4.5 million office building'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e201a51187d00e970c2014-03-17T20:34:37Z2014-03-18T02:56:46Zthe9thGateJIMMY-Why do all the non-believers of RSSB have easy to understand English whilst the believers seem to talk in text...<p>JIMMY-Why do all the non-believers of RSSB have easy to understand English whilst the believers seem to talk in text language akin to that of a kindergarten?<br />

haha true story? What a shameful way of promoting your false faith in the name of a travel blog:) </p>
<p>The entire information is wrong. First of all, RSSB is not a NGO.In every satsang, its been announced by Babaji that this is a religious organization not charitable. RSSB is not involved in any charitable work except some work satsangis did during a earthquake in Gujarat. RSSB is only exploiting the laws/tax exemption provided for NGO.</p>
<p>you wrote: "This organization does not involve in any fundraising activities" Plain simple wrong. This org put money boxes everywhere and promote / brainwash people to donate money. If that doesn't work, this org first ask people to surrender their intellect ( in the name of devotion) then ask for minimum 10% of their earnings. </p>Shivangi commented on 'Radha Soami Satsang Beas buys a $4.5 million office building'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e2019affaf4e6f970b2013-09-30T05:34:22Z2013-09-30T16:48:33ZShivangiRead this then you will know the true story : Radha Soami Satsang Beas<p>Read this then you will know the true story : </p>

<p>Sure, seems like it. We have been discussing one for quite some time now. Sure there are false Saints, the Catholic Church has a very strict criteria by which a Saint nominee gets beatified. Sure, there is a false Science. False assumptions lead to false science - take for example the recent vaccination breakthroughs for whooping cough. The B. Pertussis vaccine creation process was changed based on false assumptions/bad science years ago, the result of which are now evident in the whooping cough epidemics all around the world.</p>Janya Barrish commented on 'Radha Soami Satsang Beas buys a $4.5 million office building'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e2017c31ad2a04970b2012-09-06T04:13:04Z2012-09-06T16:00:54ZJanya BarrishI see.

<p>It sounds like you've been to India, have you? </p>

Santh Rampal Ji Maharaj, awhile back, was using the copyrighted name of my book.</p>
<p>I had to contact one of his reps to get<br />
him to stop using the name, which he did.</p>
<p>For example, Rahda in Radhasoami, did not come from Swami Ji's wife. </p>
<p>Radha came from Radha Krishna (Salig Ram had been brought up Hindu).</p>
<p>Salig Ram was Gurmukh of Swami Ji and chief<br />
disciple. Even Radha Ji acknowledged Salig<br />
Ram as the Gurmukh, as did the entire Swami<br />
Ji family.</p>
<p>Radha Ji was a sant. But, the master power<br />
only resides in the Gurmukh.</p>
<p>It was Salig Ram who wrote all the Radhasoami Books on the new religion.<br />
Jaimal Singh used to attend his satsangs<br />
to learn the new religion.</p>
<p>Even Sar Bachan was written by Salig Ram.</p>
<p>I knew the great Radhasoami historian<br />
Maheswari personally for years. He wrote the books Santh Rampal reads from in his videos.</p>
<p>I also know the other great living historian<br />
Agam Mathur, Vice Chancellor at Agra Univ.<br />
In fact he initiated me directly and personally into Radhasoami. Agam is the great grandson of Salig Ram and guru at Peepal Mandi.</p>Janya Barrish commented on 'Radha Soami Satsang Beas buys a $4.5 million office building'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20177448a82d7970d2012-09-06T02:22:49Z2012-09-06T16:00:54ZJanya BarrishMike, His name is Santh Rampal Ji Maharaj.

<p>His name is Santh Rampal Ji Maharaj. In another video he reads from a book called Jeevan Charitr by Swami Ji Maharaj (Shiv Dayal), published by RadhaSoami Trust, Radhasoami Bagh, Agra. </p>
<p>Apparently, there seems to be some sort of tradition of "absorption" of the dying guru into a particular disciple. This seems to have occurred with a disciple of Shiv Dayal as well; a woman. Detailed description of this women's obsession with SD, and her possession by him after his death. Even Rai Saligram is reported to have received instructions from this Bukkiji + Shiv Dayal combo. Absorption, a case of possession or mental illness? </p>
<p>Made me ill listening to it.</p>

<p>Soami Shiv Dayal ji on his deathbed said that his was the path of Satnaam (True Name) and Anaami (Nameless One) only.</p>
<p>Where did Radha Soami come from? Some say it represents Shiv Dayal and his wife Radha. So the title Radha-swami represents Shiv Dayal and his wife. RSSB thefore being the path of Shiv Dayal and his wife Radha. Shiv Dayal had said that after his death, his wife was to occupy the same status as himself, so this would imply that she was a Guru in her own right. Radha-Soami is not the neme of some deity but an appellation; the husband of Radha, i.e., Shiv Dayal ji. </p>
<p>Got this info from another guru who discredits RSSB gurus, saying that a true living guru is one who does nothing without the ok of his own guru - this Rai Saligram did not do with permission from Shiv Dayal Sahib, although it was reluctantly accepted by Shiv Dayal on his deathbed. This guy also says that the five names of RSSB are not the true names of the correct initiation,i,e,. the pre-emminent initiation of Kabir, that the five names are of the negative power, Kal. That no one in the system has the true name. </p>Robert Paul Howard commented on 'Radha Soami Satsang Beas buys a $4.5 million office building'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e201774488dd76970d2012-09-05T18:51:10Z2012-09-06T16:00:54ZRobert Paul HowardSome may be interested in another system of delusion, just as a matter for comparison: http://www.salon.com/2012/09/02/reverend_sun_myung_moon_dead_at_92/?source=newsletter Robert Paul Howard<p>Some may be interested in another system of delusion, just as a matter for comparison:</p>

<p>Zurvanism (Zurvanite Zoroastrianism), Manichaeism and Mandaeism, are representative of dualistic and monist philosophies </p>
<p>Hinduism is generally monistic and henotheistic</p>

<p>But the TAO contains them all (I reckon)</p>
<p>A Gyana Yogi can hold multiple conflicting view without freaking out or fixating on just one. That is the beauty of Gyana/Knowledge. </p>
<p>The ONE is unknown in its nature, we can see and feel its effects, how can one particular orientation do justice to the whole? </p>
<p>The whole is not dead. It has all sorts of things in it - spheres, substance, time, space, dead beings, living beings, material, non material, anti-space, beingness, no beingness - wow! What a trip!</p>

Because Chita, above quotes from the Sikh Guru's teaching, "Don't react and judge others." But which Sikh Guru is she referring to? The real and last Sikh Guru was Guru Gobind Singh, the last human guru for the Sikhs and the 11th being their holy book the Guru Granth Sahib. And if some guru did say it, its a good thing because instead of judging, Chita, you need to understand what the issue is and how important it is to know the Truth, because the TRUTH will set you free. It doesn't mean you won't care about your SatGurus anymore, but you will begin to understand them better and that is a good thing.

Bloggers' main purpose is to hurt sentiments, insult and disturb others. As per Sikh Gurus teaching " Don't react and judge others. Everyone has freedom to choose their own path of life". I know no one is perfect. We are still in learning process.It is hard to digest fake, baseless and false comments from bloggers against someone who have nothing to do with these people.

Don't be disturbed by these Bloggers's comments. That is what their pupose is? "We should not judge and react to any person, according to our teaching. I know it is hard and hurting, when fake, baseless and false comments are made. We are still in learning process, noone is perfect. Everyone has freedom to choose their path of life. They are away from truth. Can you see even they are denying the teaching of old religions? There is no use to be in this discussion. They are standing on different, gross and hard level.

Richa,</p>
<p>The reason that we are asking these questions is because there are people on this blog who were initiated into RSSB as well as others who are debating whether they should go for RSSB or not. Obviously everyone is seeking clarification on many issues one of which is about recent reports about Guru Gurinder changing the direction of the original Radha Saomi system, most importantly that there is no GOD and no Inner planes. The previous Gurus had taught that there is Radhosoami, the supreme Godhead and there are many planes, including the last Sach Khand. Another reason is that there are unanswered questions concerning the tenets and leading principles of RSSB system. The Guru Gurinder Singh Dhillon needs to state his position on the following:</p>
<p>(1) Does he affirm or deny that there is a GOD, a GOD-HEAD?</p>
<p>(2) Does he affirm or deny that there are spheres, planes, dimensions, lokas, spaces, that the disciple traverses on the way to Sach Khand.</p>
<p>(3) Does he affirm or deny that he is GOD, that all RSSB gurus are GOD?</p>
<p>(4) Does he affirm or deny that RSSB gurus have the power to show up at the satsangi's death and escort him or her?</p>
<p>(5)Does he affirm or deny that the maximum time a satsangi has on earth are limited to four lifetimes and no more?</p>
<p>(6) Does he affirm or deny that foreign satsangis, especially certain groups of foreign satsangis get special treatment, like going to special satsangs, parties, get-togethers that Indian satsangis (local or residing in foreign countries but visiting Dera) are excluded from these special events?</p>
<p>(7)Does he affirm or deny that the RSSB has taken charitable donations from questionable sources?</p>
<p>(8) Does he affirm that the RSSB is becoming a voting block for politicians? </p>
<p>Clarifying these points will help in clearing the atmosphere for all concerned.</p>Mike Williams commented on 'Radha Soami Satsang Beas buys a $4.5 million office building'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20177448250bf970d2012-09-04T14:16:04Z2012-09-04T18:35:13ZMike Williams"We do not want dogs like you in our dera.

<p>The laws or rules are not the same for the Initiates of these True Living Masters. They are the most fortunate persons on earth as they have been choosen by the Master, and these masters do not let their disciples to go down to lower species. So if one is initiated he/she should not worry about anything, and enjoy this life and leave the rest to the Master.<br />

Thank you Tara for living in a real world.<br />
Thak you very much Tara thatb you are so much jealous of people who are giving free services by their own will to their Beloved SATGURU. Thank you all of you to hurt many people's feelings by telling them that their faith is cult. You are judging other's faith. First judge yourself and judge your faith.<br />
Whether this school has world wide presence, it does not give advertisement to increase the number of followers. So it is not forcing you to accept its teaching, be a follower or do free Seva. Only those are following who love it. We need quality not quantity. We do not want dogs like you in our dera. You have no authority to xcritisze us, because we are not inviting you. SO in no way dera is playing any role in your life. Take care of your life just as we are concerned about ourselves not about others that what others are doing. </p>
<p>We RSSB followers do not care.. What is your faith?<br />
We do not care.. Whether your faith is cult or not?<br />
we do not care... Are you able to control your mind or not?<br />
we do not care....If you are not, How much harm you are causing with your uncontrolled activity of your mind?<br />
We fdo not care... If you are unable to control your mind, then who is controlling your mind?<br />
Who has given you dogs this right to criticize others faith? <br />
If you do not like discard it, do not follow it.....noone is forcing to accept this intenationally known school? This school has not become internationally known because of you or your advertisements. I am 100% sure you did not come to know about it through advertisement, public gatherings. You know about it because you are taking too much interest in our school without any reason. No one approached you to join our school. If you do not like leave it. Keep away yourself from it! We do not need culprits like you. Our Masters are part of our life, any comment against Him is personal to all RSSB followers because as you said above we are all ONE.......we do not feel seperate from our MASTERs. UNDERSTAND! These comments are very much personal.</p>
<p>First judge yourself what are u doing? You are encroaching our freedom. I think basically you all are the most cult, wrongdoers, devils minded ...Can not stop critisizing others while others do not bother you. you are COMING AS UNINVITED GUEST to our BELOVED school.<br />

Don't take it so personally, honey.</p>
<p>The masters have ample means of protecting themselves, much more than you and I. I feel certain that a "true" master would be delighted that some upstart "chela (s)were astute and independent enough to ask important questions. A "master" or "Guru" who is confident of his own teachings, would probably laugh and blow it all off with a wisdom filled observation.</p>
<p>And its not just "your" faith, isolated at Dera in Beas, Punjab,India, next to Amritsar and a hair's breath from Pakistan, but this "faith" has a world wide presence, which in itself piques interest, comment, appreciation and criticism as well. </p>
<p>Also, don't you think that for a cult </p>
<p>((you know darling, it is a cult, even if a very high, noble and lovely one and a decent one that one cannot help loving and wanting to be a part of, even if vicariously)) </p>
<p>that encourages "getting away from this stinking hell hole of Pinda", to indulge in very Pinda like activities is ironic? </p>
<p>This type of worldy materialism, even if for a good cause is bound to raise eyebrows. </p>

It is not that easy to understand for human brain universal truth. If you are initiated and want to condsole yourself that you will get 4 more human birth after that and will be freed afterwards so you can disobey all the rules of Santmat.Because after all you are intitiated and can not go to lower species so can enjoy all sensual pleasure, you are wrong. I think you are trying to misinterpret message of Maharaji. He used word "Satsangi" which means who have company of truth. You can not be satsangi if you have company of worldly objects and enjoying all kind of sense enjoyment. In this casae you are "Jhootsangi". Mere initiation does not make you Satsangi. It is just expression of desire that you want to have company of truth. Till the moment you do not put it into practice, you are not in company of truth. If you behave like animanls..you deserve to go to lower species.... that law is same for everyone. If you do not have control on your mind.. you can not even take one step on this path. If your mind is controlled by wine and enjoyment...there is no way you can reach ultimate destination. You will have to come and go just like normal creatures. But because you are initiated, there is one benefit, when your lust will finish you will meet again with a Saint. It is written clearly in Gurugranth Sahib ji" If you have lustful desires for men or women you will become prostitute in next birth. If you are mad for having kids or loving kids, you will become pi, where your desire can be fully satisfied. If you love money, you will become serpent. If you are attached your house, you will become ghost. Definitely these things are not for Satsangis but jhoothsangis who are attached to worldly enjoyment and sensual fun.</p>S.R.Krishnamurthy commented on 'Radha Soami Satsang Beas buys a $4.5 million office building'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20177446daf95970d2012-08-31T01:26:29Z2012-09-01T02:39:10ZS.R.KrishnamurthyDear sirs I am a satsangi of Beas,but no I quit and not attending satsangs at Chennai,because the Sindhi dominated...<p>Dear sirs I am a satsangi of Beas,but no I quit and not attending satsangs at Chennai,because the Sindhi dominated funtioneries they want only postings for that they will do what ever they want, we local sangaths were duing seva and this sindhies will command us that they are masters.

<p>The problem with the Bible is that nobody took notes at that time (Christ’s teachings were given to the masses and some of them passed them on to others and so on). So many things were suppressed by the church and by interested peoples. Only that much is given to us which can keep us under their hold.447 Q. Is it ever necessary for a satsangi to reincarnate into animal form? That is, one who has been initiated by a true Master?</p>
<p>Even if his karma was bad, he will not be sent lower than human birth. It is not necessary for that soul to come back into the animal form. We do not come down. We go up. Such a person may get another human form and in that form he will have to go through all those bad karmas, but he will not go down into a lower species.</p>
<p>448 Q. If people do wrong, do they not come back as animal?</p>
<p>NOT INITIATES. Of course, otherwise, one has to come back according to his karma, into whatever species our karma designated. But you had asked whether it was “necessary” for a satsangi. It is not necessary. He can improve right from there.</p>
<p>Whereas you wrote:<br />
There is no such thing as transmigration,no, not even for the animals. Its a lie that was made up to control human beings. Once a human always a human.</p>
<p>Was Maharaj Charan Singh lying?<br />

<p>It is the point where our trajectories are dissociating…realizing that there is no ultimate knowhow I have chosen to drift towards faith side. U are finding same risk in both sides however I not.. where your side is totally denying any possibility of ultimate knowhow and also rejecting faith & hope, here even if we are not having the former, we have the later one…</p>
<p>Hope for what… hope for new experiences (paranormal) and their enjoyment…. When I am talking about such experiences I am not concerned with the knowhow of their mechanics.. subjective or objective nature….</p>
<p>I am concerned herewith quality & quantity of enjoyment…whether it is coming from real or virtual experiences……at least I am enjoying the purpose… This purpose(happiness) is the ultimate herein faith side for me and not the ‘ultimate’ of knowhow arena… </p>
<p>…and happiness is something not always dependent upon knowhow…we may know and still we may not be happy….<br />

Your blog is meant to hurt others feelings by insulting their beloved Gurus and their faith. I have not seen this kind of nasty comments not even by terrorists.

Question of controlling ego and mind? If you do not have control on your mind and building your ego due to you earthen pot physical body which is like a sinking ship and you are imagining that it is unbeatable and unsinkable? You will be proved wrong very soon. When death comes it comes to even strongest people of the world also who use menatlly, emotionally and physically weak women for sensual fun and use kids for satisfying their greed of money by putting them in factories to suck their blood to gain teir false status. They suddenly realise that their unsinkable strong body and intellectual brain is drawing in tusanmi like a straw. In ego of this strong earthen pot, he was thinking himself unbeatable taht all rest of creatures can do no harm to him because he is the strongest. Many kings of this world have cause pain and shown hellish life to many women for their lust. But what they gained at the end of day. One day that unsinkable unbeatable strong pot met with an tragic accident and disease and it finished in one second and after that see same hell as he has shown to others. Now, Where is your ego man? Are you not now feeling helpless, the weakest and ego less in front of nature' strenth and power? Are you feeling as weak as rest of creatures were feeling under your rule? We are rational and logic so we do not place our faith on impermanent weak earthen pot. it is better to become humble and kind towards others rather than to be ruler of all and create false ego of being the strongest. Whatever teaching we following, we are doing so with our intellect, under full consiousness and not under control of any cruel and brutal ruler. West is west, East is East..both can not meet. Western theory is based on drawin's law " Survival for fittest" which means if yuo are mentally, intellectually and physically strong if you can use and kill other creatures, only then you can survive. Eastern theory in vedas, "Survival for the rightest", which means you are not strong enough to fight with powers which are much stronger than you. Humans are very weak infront of nature and cosmic laws. If you want to gain Nature's favour then be good, humble and kind to all creatures and obey cosmic laws. you will be saved by them"<br />

They were asked all the children what they rember, "Some children said, we saw football match" while others said, "we saw bull fighting" Researchers found that children who remembered bull fighting was one who were from mexico and voilent families. Others were from very good environment. So conclusion is that you perceive things as your mind is trained to do. If your mind developed negative habits, you will find negativity in every positive thing. You might be thinking I am living positive life it is you perception but if it will be measured with unbiased mind, it would be found that you are verymuch at negative pole on scale of life style. It might be very normal for you to kill others for survival but for other people might be thinking different way. Carribans think killing man is not a sin, there is no punishment for that. Westerners think killing man is sin but killing animals are not sin, so there is no punishment for killing animal. Indians (traditional and actual) think that killing both are wrong. (But in laws there is very less punishment these days to kill animals die to influence of western culture. generally people do not think it is right to kill animals. If you go beas, even plucking flower without good reason is not acceptable behaviour? Do not you have brain to think? If you have brain then think, think and think on that statement. Are you animal? Animals are made up of 4 elements, humans are made up of 5 elements. If you think and behave like animals what is the use of extra 5th element. Then you dserve to go to 4 element body.</p>Agam commented on 'Radha Soami Satsang Beas buys a $4.5 million office building'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e201774469a928970d2012-08-30T04:32:49Z2012-08-30T19:42:12ZAgamAgam wrote :Has Babaji changed the rules You also have not read which was written in one othe book that...<p> Agam wrote<br />
:Has Babaji changed the rules<br />
You also have not read which was written in one othe book that every one has to pay for Karma whether Satsangi or non-Satsangi. Actually Satsangi can not become by mere initiation. Initiation is not more than expressing you desire to get rid of this world. Sat sangi means Sat means Truth sangi means company. Truth is which doesnot destroy. Material world is temporary, no realty in it because it is destructible just like your own body. if you find yourself indulging in material and senses pleasure its mean that......you are away from truth. He definitely help who sincerely try to lead path. But who do not put any effort from their side He also can not do anything. It does not mean he has limited power........He is all powerful.but rule is "Jhan asa whana wasa" it means where ever your attention will be, you will go" Where is will, there is way". Babaji used to say that when whole of life your mind has been scattered in worldly things, it is not at all possible to draw your attention to God at time of death in short tiem of period. Because mind is quick learn to develop habits. deep impression of wrong doings can not be erased in short cut way. If you drive your car on opposite side on fast speed. Someone stop you and say that you are going opposite side. right direction is where you have strated. You will stop and turn back, it will take you same time to go back to that point from where you started your journey at first place then you can start your journey on right direction. because everyon's desires are needed to be fulfilled in this life or another. Till you are not satisfied with material pleasure you will keep coming till you are fully satisfied......as per mind's nature it never can be satisfied.....more desires you ignite more it demand...thus without becoming rational and controlling it you keep coming and going trillions of years . Also remember with all material desire and sensual pleasures there is bill attached. Because no pleasure can be enjoyed without causing pain and sufferingto others. Pain and suffering to His creatures (whether it is your own 'agam') cause pain to Him which is unforgivable. If you got a visa (which is human birth), you buy a ticket (which is initiation) but do not prepare yourself for trip and get on the plane .... how can you reach your destination. If on world level you have to make efforts how can you think that you can cross 3 vast planes (which are beyond understanding of human brain and mind) without proper plan, preparation and getting on ship of truth. Many Satsangis who ate eggs after intition has been sent to lions life to fulfill their desires of flesh and blood eating. There is no concession for Satsangies. Hurt for hurt.......if you are hurt, you feel pain same way when you hurt others, others also feel same pain. Do you think God is biased who can forgive you to cause pain to others but punish others to cause pain to you. There are trillions of living cretures.everyone is same to Him. No one is soecial except who spend time in His rememberance for thanking His gifts and obey His rules. Yes, they are special and those Sat-Sangis are not sent to lower species. Babaji said, "We should not hurt others feelings even with bitter language and words. We create very heavy Karma" If you have brain and have capability to conclude...you must understand that God's law is very strict in the matter of hurting others" Babaji used to say " If you will walk 10 steps, He will take 100 steps to help you". God help those who help themselves. If you wish and very happy to dig your own grave.....what anyone else can do. Then why are you not happy when you face consequence of that enjoy. You are happy to enjoy and unmindful of hurt to others at the same time, when it comes back to you...you must be happy at that time as well to accept result of hurting others for your momentary fun. If you criticise God at that time it means you are hypocrite or fool. You want to have all kind of fun yourself without taking care of others and still want favor from God. Do you think you are centre of universe and everything is revolving around you for you only even God is at your disposal who must favor you only and must give you everything at the cost of rest of creatures. Yet you are not responsible for others and God? So shall you saw so shall you reap.....same rule for everyone. In His house there is only justice........equally justice. there is no bribe and partialty at all.</p>Janya Barrish commented on 'Radha Soami Satsang Beas buys a $4.5 million office building'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e201761781edb5970c2012-08-29T22:11:18Z2012-08-30T01:10:58ZJanya BarrishSome one asks: Do you think a man can become a Saint?

<p>Do you think a man can become a Saint?</p>
<p>Of-course! That is precisely the idea. Anyone can become a Saint if they want it badly enough.</p>
<p>Do you think all Sikh Saints and other Saints who performed so much miraculous deeds,........ a common man can also do those?</p>
<p>Absolutely. Given motivation, time, appropriate instruction by a qualified teacher (s) absolutely and resoundingly - YES. That my dear is the whole purpose. Saint Hood and Guru Hood is not for only the elect. Its a little like Motherhood. If a woman has a healthy uterus, an ovum and a sperm she in all probability can reproduce.</p>
<p>Saints teaching is not man made it is God made and same in all ages. Saints just come to remind us that old teaching time to time.</p>
<p>I can go with this but even a Saint got it from somewhere right? Some other "Saint" passed it on to him or her, right?</p>
<p>Saints physical body is like us. They are not powerless like us.</p>
<p>You see, this sentiment above is a clear example of mind control and learned helplessness. YOU, as an individual Ego are NOTHING, GURU is EVERYTHING. In fact give up your hard earned and hard birthed individualizing ego to the group ego. This is what all cults are about. You cannot be a Free Thinker in a cult.

At re-birth (if in fact reincarnation is proven to be a fact) an individuality; note, not "soul" (because "soul" is only one part of our human make up, the others broadly speaking being body and spirit), may find itself, in less favorable circumstances, but always in a human body. There is not a shred of evidence physical or extra-physical to support the theory of transmigration. Its totally irrational and its irrationality is provable.</p>Juan commented on 'Radha Soami Satsang Beas buys a $4.5 million office building'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e2017617806f5a970c2012-08-29T14:39:18Z2012-08-29T16:52:55ZJuanPreet wrote, I am surprised these people are writing so much about dera.

<p><br />
..... I think it is an open invitation by Almighty Babaji Don Gurinder Singh to all to come to Dera and satsang and it is because of this he is opening new satsang centers every day, but of course he is going to initiate only the marked souls.</p>

Nowadays, even they started to announce before initiation that anyone who is not confident taht they are willing to follow can leave. There is no persuasion at all from Dera beas to follow them. People do because they want to do. They never force anyone for any kind of Sewa. Maharaji and Babaji can say some words about seva to very dear and near Satsangis of Him. He only say words to those who are willing to listen........ not to everyone. If they stop to eat meat , drink wine or high moral chracter.......He also explained the reason why He stopped.

Dera beas and our Satgurus never backbite and criticize anyone and also never interfere in anyone's belief. Everyone is free to build their faith where ever they like to build. No one has right to criticize others belief. RSSB never criticize others beliefs and faiths. It is personal view and matter of habits only. The things on which one person's mind enjoy and feel freedom, might not be same for other person. I and my most of Radhasoami friends feel very free by following 4 vows. When even I think about breaking those vows I feel like trapped and prisoner. So freedom for one person can be a prison for others. Some people's mind inclination is more towards negative lifstyle and some people's mind is more inclined to positive lifestyle. It is matter of purity of mind and habits.East is east and west is west. Westerns mind is habitual and live on negative way of life and feel free and happy when express themselves without taking consideration to make others sufferer for their enjoyment. If you kill someone ---- cause pain and take life of other living being... how it is possible that God who is father of all can forget pain of that animal. For Him all are same. causing pain to any animal hurt God as much as causing pain to Human. As Babaji said " We are free to do whatever we want to do. But we do not put our noses into other's business because it is a encroachment to other beings freedom"</p>Raj commented on 'Radha Soami Satsang Beas buys a $4.5 million office building'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20176177ad70a970c2012-08-28T10:54:43Z2012-08-28T19:20:45ZRajTo Tara: So u already realize that ultimate reality can’t be known ultimately.

<p>So u already realize that ultimate reality can’t be known ultimately. Whether it is there or not. So suspending ‘seeking’ or reason u prefer “happiness, fun or blissful feeling of expressing yourself freely” even if it is momentary.</p>
<p>This is what I very initially pointed out – ‘happiness is what Brian is getting ultimately out of this blog…. Whether his opinion r right or not is a secondary thing’…</p>
<p>Now if very act of knowing is always ending in unknowingness (in absolute terms) and ‘happiness’ is the ultimate purpose, then how Brian’s side can be better from RSSB ans… </p>
<p>Most of the RSSB ian are too very happy people because with their faith even if they r bound to follow certain ethical rules (for u it may be lack of freedom for self expression) it is their faith which is giving them hope, love and all such nice feelings which are ultimately giving them blissful feeling of happiness and who knows.. may be their faith may contain possibilities to realize the ultimate…..the objective non-symbolic reality… <br />
<br />
…..and at the same time they at the same level of unknowingness like u… in such scenario I think they are at the better end..…<br />

Silver age on 3 legs and copper age on 2 legs and iron age on one leg of dharma and 3 legs of adharma. Most of people in this age are doing misdeeds against Gods' law and preparing their way for hell. Very few people live moral life which is very hard without the guidance of true Guru. As you said have you changed.....yes, good people can become bad if they do not have strong basis. As Babaji said" building can fall down if foundation is not strong. laws are same for every one.

If after that you could not keep those 4 eastern vows of moral chracter and vegetraian food.because it is very hard for you people to do it. you are not used to it......if you could not keep it why to blame on our kind Masters. I am surprised where and how you will pay for this biggest sin against holy ghost and son. One westerner asked Babaji recently (which very usual questions from all westerners)"If one is initiated, but did not follow the Santmat rules and obey 4 vows. Would that peson will be saved at the time of death. Babaji's answer was "If someone is digging their own graveyard, what anyone else can do? If whole life you do not love Him........what can you expect from Him. Laws are same for everyone. There is no different rules for initiated. Who gave you gurantee at the time of initiation that you are allowed to do all kind of sins and still you would be saved?"<br />

Now the question is - which is superior –“ Happiness” or “knowledge discussed so far….which is always ending in uncertainty and leading to nowhere” ...<br />
Inspite of the tonnes of knowledge if somebody is still dissatisfied and seeking more knowledge in order to get “happiness”; what is the use of such knowledge….never achieving the “purpose”.. always entangled in the “means”.. <br />

People are jealous and trying to destroy image of beas dera. People always did this with all Saints. If you read story of Sikh Gurus and others saints such as Kabir sahib ji, Ravidas ji, Jesus chris.Evils demons were so scared of God that they tried to bring Saints down in all times. Sikh Gurus were actually having very few followers. Most of the people were against their teachings. Because at that time pandits were telling people to do idol worship. Muslims also wanted to do all kind of crimes under the name of Allah. So they did not want to accept their teaching. Sikh Gurus teaching was not new teaching it was as old as the first Saint's teaching but with time people mix their thoughts in original teaching.<br />
I am happy to give all my wealth to beas dera, because I know that material things have no value as compared to my actual self- my soul.<br />

I was deeply disturbed by how the religious right acted during the campaign, with their hatred for gay marriage and such. At that time I was still an active member of RSSB.</p>

the best one was from the Radha Swami Satsang Beas (RSSB. In all they constructed 6 community shelters at most affected places and their state-of-art construction is just seeing-is-believing. They approached the administration for just identification of sites of construction to be done by them, and did this job in record one month time at all the places. Their next meet with us was when a soft spoken, down-to-earth, former Air Vice Marshal entered my office and thanked with all humility for being given the “opportunity” to help the people, and handed over the keys.

<p>RSSB is big business, don't you think? </p>
<p>Do you have any speculations why a perfect Param Sant Sat Guru, sent here by God from the highest region of splendor and glory to release trapped souls who are deeply embedded up to their necks in the quagmire of this filthy outpost known as Pind, would be so involved with material acquisition in said cesspool? Yes, The Great Master (former RSSB guru) did call this world (region) a "latrine" in comparison to the higher regions.</p>
<p>Seems like that is what RSSB teaches we are to get away from. All this worldly crap. You know, live a modest, simple life and attend to your simran and bhajan.</p>
<p>Who knows or can understand the Mauj (will) of such a Great One even though it seems a bit incongruous and a strange example to set in light of the teachings? It must all be for our own good and best interest.

<p>It seems so,</p>
<p>These are the words of Hazur Maharaj Charan Singh;</p>
<p>I have told you that saints can do whatever they like. There is absolutely no restriction on them, but generally they do not like to break the law of nature.<br />
They always remain in the will of the Lord.</p>
<p>Saints do not come merely to improve the life of the prisoners. They do not come to raise our standard of living in this world. They come to set us free from this world and take us back to the Lord. That is their mission in this life; that is their purpose in this world. So, we should always try to know the teachings of the saints, the real mystics—the mystic way that the Lord wants us to follow: how to get out of this prison: how to get out of this world; how to go back to Him. We should try to seek their teachings in their books, and not give so much importance to where they were born; what were their miracles; what they did; who were their parents;whether they had a teacher or not. We should not get ourselves confused in history, in these matters; that is not the purpose of our lives; we should not worry about these things at all.<br />
