Sacha Sauda is not a new religion, cult, sect or wave. Sacha Sauda is that spiritual activity by which God is worshipped under the guidance of the Satguru. This path of God realization has been coming down ages since the earliest times. Many saints and seers incarnated in this mortal world and inspired us to do this Sacha Sauda and became the guiding lights of spirtuality. These saints and seers were knowers of this supreme science and tried to make this mystical subject easy for the common man. One such torchbearer of spirituality was Beparwah Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj who did the most noble of services to mankind by establishing in 1948 the spiritual college of Dera Sacha Sauda in order to save people from the complexities, malpractices and superficial rituals that had been afflicting religion and for the salvation of souls.
 
MESSAGE OF DERA SACHA SAUDA

 

 

On the Need for the Guru

India’s culture is amongst the greatest in the world. Its unity in diversity and its spiritual tradition are those unique characteristics that have established India as the world’s spiritual teacher. Spirituality is interwoven into this culture that has given the world the universal messages of “The entire world is one family,” and “Truth alone triumphs.”

Spirituality - meaning a knowledge that does not restrict itself to the boundaries of community and religion; a method that liberates a person’s soul from fundamentalism, wrong customs, and false doctrines and delivers it to the Supreme Soul.

 

. Its subject is the soul; whether it is a poor man’s soul or a rich man’s soul; be it the soul of a person from any caste, community or religion; spirituality is a path that leads him to God.

There are many things in this world that are normally invisible to us, but this does not mean that they do not exist at all. In fact all our senses of perception have their limitations and we are able to perceive only those things that come under these limitations. In the same way, just because God cannot be seen in the normal sense can never mean that He does not exist. Just like there is butter in milk and fragrance in flowers and yet these cannot be seen, in the same way even though God is always with us, we are unable to see Him. At the same time, it is an accepted fact that though the above said things cannot be seen, they are not beyond our reach and they can be obtained through specific methods. In exactly the same manner, God can also be perceived.

In fact it was only because mankind searched for God through different methods and paths that it got divided into different devotional streams and religious sects; but has the goal of the soul also changed? Absolutely not; from the earliest times till today, the ultimate aim of the soul has always been to go back to its Original Source. Thus the focus of mankind’s curiosity has always been the search for that path. While some tried to tread this path on the strength of their intellectual capacity, others surrendered themselves to saints and prophets. The former came to be known as the seekers of the path of knowledge. History is witness to the fact that while these seekers got caught in the entrapments of the mind and were forced to suffer at every step, those who surrendered to the perfect saint found God and became one with Him. It is for this reason that from a common man to great saints, every one has sung the praises of his Guru, Peer, Murshid.

In fact, from the very beginning till today the basic theme of Indian culture has been the search for this Perfect Master, walking the path that is laid down by him, and dissolving oneself in the ocean that is God. It is in the background of this basic theme of Indian culture and fulfilling its values, beliefs and faiths that in the middle of the 20th century a spiritual river sprung forth and flowed in society that not only brought down the walls of caste and creed, inferiority and superiority, but also laid down for the society a better path of life, along with connecting man with man and connecting man with Paramatma, Allah, Waheguru.

This river that emanated from Satguru Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj and Param Pita Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj, is a unique confluence of pure spirituality where today people from every corner of the globe come and bathe. By establishing Dera Sacha Sauda, an organization that is a great confluence of all religions, Satguruji undertook the task of uniting souls with God and delivering the message of humanity to all mankind. Even today Param Sant Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj and Param Pita Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj are themselves working for the welfare of mankind in the form of Sant Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan.

A million salutations to these messengers of God, who have made the path to man’s salvation a very easy one!
