His Holiness Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj

These three great 20^th century saints paved the way for Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj’s global work. Each illustrious in his own way, they brought the teachings of Sant Mat to an increasingly wider audience. 

Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj (1858–1948) made Sant Mat accessible to humanity at large. Although he never traveled outside India, his teachings reached Europe and North America through disciples who studied with him and returned home. During his lifetime, the teachings of Sant Mat gained widespread recognition as a natural way to achieve the spiritual goals of self-knowledge and God-realization.  

"The teachings of the saints are the same for all, whether they are imparted to a Hindu, a Muslim, a Sikh, or a seeker of any other religion. The saints' instructions are universal and their sole objective is the upliftment of humanity."  Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj

Sant Kirpal Singh Ji Maharaj (1894–1974) traveled to the West three times. Well versed in the comparative study of religions, he was able to make the spiritual teachings easily understood by people in the West, presenting them as a perfect science. He wrote over twenty books in English and Hindi on spirituality and meditation.

He established Sawan Ashram in Delhi, India, where seekers from around the globe could learn the art of meditation and spiritual living. His talk, “World Peace in the Atomic Age,” is a road map for attaining world peace. In 1957, he convened the first World Fellowship of Religions Conference and, in 1974, the World Conference on the Unity of Man, aimed at uniting people not only at the level of religion, but at the level of their common humanity.

"Our mission is to fill the human heart with compassion, mercy, and universal love, which should radiate to all countries, nations, and people of the world and to enable each one to love God, love all, serve all, and have respect for all, as God is imminent in all forms. The goal is that of oneness. This is the way to peace on earth."    Sant Kirpal Singh Ji Maharaj

Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj (1921–1989), through four world tours, continued to spread the spiritual teachings in the West, an endeavor that grew into 550 centers in 40 countries. Known as the poet-saint of India, he received four awards from the Urdu Academy for his mystic verse. When the government of India produced a compendium of mystic literature, its anthology included many of Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj's writings. His works are often broadcast on radio and television.

He worked tirelessly to spread the message of his spiritual mentors throughout the world by publishing books translated into over fifty languages. In 1986, he was invited to the United Nations to confer on the subject of inner and outer peace. He emphasized what he called positive mysticism, pursuing spiritual goals while fulfilling all our obligations to family, society, and the world.

“When we go to a Master of spirituality, he immediately sees the image of God in us. Ultimately, he succeeds in bringing out that divine image in us, and he brings about our ultimate communion with God."  Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj
