Bring blessings to your Life and House
with His Sacred Image!
Singh was born in India (1894-1974) in
a simple rural house, in the western
part of Punjab which
now belongs to Pakistan. He earned
his living as a government officer until his
retirement, then moved to Delhi where
he founded his spiritual school,
Ruhani Satsang, with its headquarters
at Sawan Ashram.
He was the President of the World
Fellowship of Religions, an organization
recognized by UNESCO, which had
representatives from all the main
religions of the world. He wrote numerous
books, many of which have been
translated into numerous languages.
His basic teachings consist in establishing
contact with God into expression power,
called Word in the Bible, and Naam,
Shabd, Om, Kalma, and other names
in the other scriptures. Singh believed
that the discipline of universal character
(defined as the Path of the Masters),
Meditation on the Divine Word,
or Yoga of the Sound Current
(Surat Shabd Yoga) was at the spiritual
base of all enduring religions.
In 1924, he met Hazur Sawan Singh,
the famous Saint of Beas, in his Ashram
on the banks of the Beas River, and
in him recognized the luminous form
he had seen during the seven previous
years. Hazur initiated him into the
spiritual discipline, and from then
on Singh dedicated his life to
reaching the summits of spirituality.
From early the 1930s on, when Hazur
was asked if he had a disciple who
had made great progress, he cited
Kirpal Singh.
After his master's passing, Kirpal went
to Rishikesh at the foot of the Himalayan
Mountains, where he spent the next five
months in an almost continual state of
samadhi, or absorption in God.
Later on - Kirpal initiated over 80,000
followers.
In 1957, Singh was elected the first
president of the World Fellowship
of Religions, an organization recognized
by UNESCO, comprising representatives
from all the major world religions.
He held that position until 1971, and
presided over four World Conferences.
In 1962, he became the first non-Christian
to receive the Order of Saint John of
Jerusalem (Knights of Malta) for his
spiritual and humanitarian work.
In Delhi in February 1974, Singh
organized the World Conference
on Unity of Man. More than 2000
delegates attended, including
religious and political leaders
from India and around the world.
Over 100,000 people attended
the conference in total.
At the Kumba Mela (Festival of Religions)
in Haridwar on 2 April 1974, Singh
gathered sadhus and "saintly men"
in the Conference of National Unity,
with the aims of promoting cooperation,
eliminating religious barriers,
and bettering the economic status
of India's poor.
Hinduism and Sikhism:
Hinduism is an older religion, while
Sikhism was founded in the 15th-century
by Guru Nanak. Both religions share
many philosophical concepts such
as Karma, Dharma, Mukti, Maya and
Saṃsāra. In the days of the Mughal
Empire, the Sikh community came
to the defence of Hindus who were
being forcibly converted to Islam.
Author Notes - Raul:
While in Berkeley CA I did prayers to
Sant Kirpal after learning from him.
Soon a beam of light descended on
me, since then i have had total faith
in him. When i went to some meditations
on his name in SF I found out he
had passed! When a spiritual masters
tries the difficult path of unifying
religions - this is considered the
highest achievement. His insight that
the primal sound - om or Shabd - is a
basis for all LASTING religions is very
revealing - and the Word was God!
The fact that most religions have a
name for this primal sound is an
indication of its importance. For all
beings that enter into stillness and
silence, then the sound
will reveal itself.
His written work is also an astounding
legacy:
