The Holy Name

The Holy Name This is to communicate to the aadikaris (deserving persons) the message that the Supreme Being Radhasoami, finding the humanity badly confounded and in great distress, manifested Himself as Sant Sat Guru. In His unbounded mercy, He revealed the mysteries of His own sphere and the mode of attaining it by means of Surat Shabd practice. It behoves Jivas to develop love in His Holy Feet. By the performance of this practice, mind will get subdued. There is no other way in this Kali Yuga for purifying and quieting the mind and raising it to higher regions. The goals of all the religions, prevalent in this world, reach up to the first or at the most the second stage of Sants. If the Abhyas of Surat Shabd Yoga is performed methodically, the mind and spirit will be purified, and , catching hold of Shabd, will ascend to celestial regions, represented in human microcosm. Leaving Pind, the region of nine orifices, they will reach Brahmand, i.e., Trikuti. There the spirit will part company with the mind, and proceed further. Experiencing the bliss of Sunn and Maha-sunn, the spirit will have darshan of Sat Purush in Sat Lok, of Alakh Purush in Alakh Lok, and of Agam Purush in Agam Lok. Finally, it will reach the Nij Dham of RADHASOAMI. it was from this place that the spirit originally descended. It got entangled in the snares of Kal, laid out in Tri-loki (three worlds or Locks). It will again get back to its original abode. A practitioner of Surat Shabd Yoga will pass through; Vishnu Lok Shiv Lok, Brahama ka Lok, Shakti Lok, Ram Lok, Brahm Pad, Nirvan Pad of Jains, the region of Lord God of the Bible and the regions of Malkoot, Jabroot and Lahoot of Mohammedans, all situated below Sunn. Experiencing the bliss of these regions, the spirit will enter into its Nij Desh (Original Home) by the grace of Sants. The Radhasoami mat or faith derives its name from its original Founder, the Supreme Being, Radhasoami who appeared in this world in human form and designated Himself Sant Sat Guru or perfect Saint or true Guide and Preceptor, and preached holy doctrines to sincere enquirer of Truth for the deliverance of their spirit from the bondage of body and its surroundings, as well as from the pains and pleasures of this

world, and for the ultimate admission (of their spirit) into the Holy Presence of the Supreme Being after traversing and breaking through the trammels and impediments in the material spheres. The holy name Radhasoami has been given out by the Supreme Being Himself. It resounds in splendid refulgence in the higher spheres and can be heard within themselves by those who perform devotion by practising Surat Shabd Yoga according to the instructions given by the Supreme Being Himself. All obstacles thrown in the way and traps laid by Universal Mind and Matter to stop or interfere with the progress of a pilgrim to the high mansion of the Supreme Being in pure spiritual regions disappear at once on the pronunciation of the holy name Radhasoami by the devotee; such is the immediate effect and beneficial influence exercised by this Almighty Name. It at once strikes awe and terror in the heart of the conflicting agents and revolting forces met with by the devotee while traversing the material regions and gradually removes them altogether from his path. The holy name Radhasoami signifies both the Supreme Being and the original Spirit or Sound current (or Word) which emanated from His Holy Feet, and which is the prime factor and principal agent in the whole creation. Blessed is the night on which Param Purush Puran Dhani Soamiji Maharaj graced this planet for the edification of the erring humanity and for removing the darkness of ignorance from the hearts of misguided souls. Blessed is the country, the city and the locality in which He made His advent for steering the souls safely through the ocean of life, in the ark of Shabd.
