Radha Soami

Radha is wife, Soami is husband ព្រះស្វាមី
Radha is God, Soami is soul ព្រះព្រលឹង?​


RADHASAMIS are not SIKHS
Radha Soami "Radhasoami" (also Radhasoami Satsang and Radha Swami) is a sect & spiritual movement, founded in 1861 by Shiv Dayal Singh Seth. It boasts a following of over two million people worldwide. He related the human soul to Radha whose goal was to merge with eternal reality (Soami), thus the name Radha Soami. As do the Hindus he preached vegetarianism and abstinance from intoxication.
Shiv Dyal Singh was never big on spreading his teaching or increasing his flock of devotees. He established his Satsang in Agra. In 1855 Dayal Singh had only a handful of followers. At the time of his death in 1878, it is thought that his following had grown to several thousand.
The sect is faithful in using the Guru Granth Sahib the Holy Book of the Sikh's. They have never tried to alter the proceedings or tenants of mainstream Sikhs and do not portray their leaders as sucessors to the 10 Gurus of the Sikhs. Today the Beas ashram maitnains a Langar (free kitchen) and has lodgings for Sadhus, Sewadars, Satsangis and others.
The MSS Charitable hospital provides free medical care for the group's members and the needy and includes a serai (inn) for the free accommodation of relatives of patients. An annual eye clinic gives medical aid to people suffering eye-ailments, including the removal of cataracts.
