My Gurus
PARAM DYAL Pt. FAQIR CHAND JI
Pt. Faqir Chand Ji [1886 to 1981]
Baba Faqir Chand, (18 November 1886 – 11 September 1981) was an Indian master of Surat Shabd Yoga, or consciously controlled near death experience. He was one of the first saints or gurus of Sant Mat tradition to openly speak and write against the deceptive and harmful practices of modern guruism and religious intolerance. As a highly pragmatic individual, Faqir also strove to explain the various practices and principles of Sant Mat based on his own experiences and in the context of modern science and psychology. He was also the first Sant Mat guru to talk about the phenomena consisting of a believer experiencing a subjective projection of a sacred or holy form of a guru or idol without the conscious knowledge of the person at the center of the experience, i. e., the guru. This was termed the ‘Chandian Effect’, and described by researcher David C. Lane. Faqir Chand claimed that he had no knowledge of his form manifesting before a person and helping them with their worldly or spiritual problems. He fervently expressed that in his experience, the real helper is one’s own true self and faith.Mark Juergensmeyer, another researcher on new religious movements (including Radha Soami Mat), intrigued by the uniqueness of Faqir Chand’s experiences, also interviewed him. This insightful interview was included in Faqir’s autobiography.

Our Aspiration
We aspire to create a human being who would be integrally pure in thought, word and deed. He should be humble in his worship of god and goddesses. He should have personal experience of the truth of shastras and should be dedicated to the spread of this realised truth in the entire humanity by means of the thought unshackled by any creed. Hence, the Manavta Mandir was established at this sacred place to establish and spread the true religion of mankind to help all human beings to release their full potential and to secure peace in the whole world. Purity in thought, word and deed, selfless service, equanimity, Sama-Yama-Niyama, living consciously in the divine, tolerance, self-restraint, helpfulness, absolute honesty and integrity, untained earning, profound faith, love, devotion, charity and meditation with self-surrender and renunciation, all these leading to self-realisation this is the sublime aim to which the Manavta Mandir is dedicated.
Our Aim
Our aim is to transform a person from savage into a human being, from a human being into a superhuman being, from a superhuman being into a being of universalised consciousness; to transform such a being into a being of realised divinity and take him from this state to state of highest enlightenment (Buddhatva).
