Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj’s Human Unity Efforts

While acknowledging that we must work on all fronts for a better world, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj affirms the world will know true peace only when its people become peaceful. "Peace begins with you," he says. His words convey a dynamic, empowering message for everyone. True peace seeks a perception of human unity that transcends national, cultural, and ideological boundaries. The noble qualities enjoined by prophets, saints, and mystics of all great wisdom traditions—reverence for life, compassion, humility, and love can be found through a daily practice of meditation and ethical living. Meditation strengthens our connection to God and unites us with the fountainhead of universal love. Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj embodies the Sant Mat tradition with his commitment to human unity and interfaith harmony. His efforts include a rigorous schedule of touring, conferences and publications. Some of the most notable include: Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj

“We may not be able to eliminate all the problems of the world, but through meditation we can attain peace and happiness. We can make our family life more peaceful, loving, and caring, We can help change the society in which we live. We can be a source of peace to all those around us. By leading a life in which we are caring and loving to others, we will develop into ideal human beings. Sant Kirpal Singh Ji Maharaj used to say that it is difficult to become a human being in the true sense of the word, but once we do so, it is not so difficult to find God. And that is the highest goal of human existence.”
