Our Story
The holy name Radhaswami is the most powerful name, which has been given out by the Supreme Being Himself. It resounds in splendid refulgence in the highest abode and can be heard within us only by those who perform true practice of Surat Shabd Yoga exactly according to the instructions given by the Radhaswami Master.
The faculty of hearing inherent in the spirit is developed by this process of devotional practice. The sound, in articulate speech, of the spirit-current is 'Radha', and that of its Reservoir is 'Swami., therefore Radhaswami is accordingly held to be the only true and real Name of the Supreme Creator. If we were to repeat internally a sound which is an imitation in articulate speech of the sound emanating from the presiding deity of a sphere at the focus of the nervous centre corresponding to that sphere, the vibrations set up therein by this process will, as the practice advances, come into harmony with the vibrations in sounds already existent in the sphere, and when the unison or concord of the two sets of vibrations is complete, they would commingle and respond to each other. The subjective functions and powers of the deity would then be imbibed, and the great force which he wields in His sphere could be set in motion by using the holy name at the will of the devotee.
The same was the official name by the Agra Saints (the August Founders of the Radhaswami faith) and also of Param Dayal Baba Faqir Chand Maharaj.
The Sarbachan (verse), the holy book by Swami ji (Shiv Dayal ji) Maharaj is started by this below given verse itself:
Radhaswami gaay kar, janam sufal kar ley.
Yahi naam Nijnaam hai,man apne dhar ley.
Its English version is that the Radhaswami name is the Nijnaam (official name of Supreme Father) and a true seeker must keep it in the core of his/her mind and use it for salvation. This holy name Radhaswami signifies both the Supreme Being and the original Spirit or Sound current (or Word) which emanated from His Holy Feet.
Other top Indian saints also have recommended the same holy Name. For example Saint Kabir has clearly saith:
Kabir DHARA agam ki, satguru di lakhay.
Tahi ulat sumrin kar, SWAMI sang milay.
Here He says that the current (dha-ra) of inaccessible (agam loka) is to be transposed to merge with the Swami. In this way, when both are combined, they form Radhaswami and this is to be used for repetition. Similarly Saint Dadu Dayal has also very clearly saith:
Swami to satlok hai, radha triloki mahi.
Dadu dono ek mila, tera janam maran mit jahi.
That the spirit current is radha which at present resides in material world whereas its Lord is in spiritual plane and it is to be merged with that Swami for your salvation.
All obstacles thrown in the way and traps laid by Universal Mind and Matter to stop or interfere with the progress of a spirit to the highest mansion of the Supreme Being in pure spiritual regions, disappear at once on the pronunciation of this Holy Name Radhaswami by the devotee; such is the immediately 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/her path.
Whereas in the Five names, the initial four belong to KAL (Universal Mind) regions, therefore why to repeat these lower order names when the soul gets ascended to higher regions? The Fifth name also belongs to a lower by six regions (chakras) than the Radhaswami name.
The spirit current has a natural attraction towards the Radhaswami Name,because it is the drop of that very Ocean, hence this is the Most Powerfull Name to use.
