Radhasoami: The Very First Historical Revelation of the Most Sacred Divine Name "Radhasoami"! {2.}

Radhasoami!

The Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh {more on this shortly} was founded, {as stated in post no. 1.}, on August 24, Monday, 1818, with the very Birth in Human Form of the Incarnated Compassionate Radhasoami, the SuperGod Who Resides in the loftiest divine Realm of Radhasoami Dham {the Abode of Radhasoami}.

When, however, had the most sacred divine Name "Radhasoami" been first gifted to humanity by an evolved divine personage?
The honor for this unique contribution & service goes to Param Sant Kabir.

In one of his couplets, Sant Kabir reveals:

"Kabir dhara agam ki / Satguru dayi lakhay
Ulat thahi sumiran karo / Soami sang milay "

Which means that Kabir speaks of the divine current {dhara} from the loftiest paradise, & bids that it is to be transversed {i.e. "dhara" is to become "Radha"} & is to be chanted & meditated upon by adding "Soami" to it; after thus having arrived at the complete most sacred divine Name, "Radhasoami".

Sant Kabir {1440-1518}, born in or near Benares {modern Varanasi in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India}, had been a poet-saint of northern India. A contemporary of Guru Nanak Dev, legendary account even believes the two to have met once.

Sant Kabir had been a saint of the Bhakti tradition & preached mystical worship of a universal God, who refused to be fractionalized by the religious divisions determinedly thrust upon Him by myopic & parochial humans.

The fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev had compiled most of Sant Kabir's devotional hymns, & they form an integral part of the Sikh scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib.

Kabir's greatest work is the Bijak {or Seedling}, a treasure-trove of poems that expound His universal & all-encompassing view of spirituality.

The Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh reveres both Sant Kabir & Guru Nanak Dev as exalted saints & masters belonging to the Sant Math or the Religion of Saints, the precise tradition of which it is now the exclusive global torchbearer in the present depraved age of Kaliyuga {more on this later}.

Our scriptures contain several hymns of Sant Kabir, which are devoutly recited by the devotees as part of the routine Satsang or spiritual congregation held twice a day {in the early morning & evening, & largely simultaneously} in the Satsang Bhawans {or Halls} all across India & in several parts of the world.

Radhasoami!

Radhasoami: Incarnated Redemptive Supreme Godhead! {1.}

Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya
Radhasoami Sahai
May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace
May Radhasoami Help

Radhasoami!

There has been the very best possible of good news for humanity to celebrate, rejoice over & transmit to others; but it unfortunately remains ignominiously unaware & unappreciative of this as yet.

In that the Supreme Lord Merciful Radhasoami has Incarnated on earth from the highest divine realm {Radhasoami Dham or the Abode of Merciful Radhasoami} with the Declared Intention of universal salvation, all the world's living creatures have already been Showered with corresponding Grace.

The rest of global & civilizational history & existence shall be merely an obedient & fated unfolding of Compassionate Radhasoami's Pleasure & Will.

At 12.30 a.m. on August 24, 1818, Monday, {coinciding with the traditional Hindu festival Janmashtami} when the August Founder of Radhasoami religion, His Supreme Highness & Absolute Majesty, Param Purusha Puran Dhani Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj, had Incarnated in a Human Form {in a nondescript but infinitely blessed location in Panni Gali, Agra}, an event of infinite cosmic significance had occurred.

This was the unleashing of a spiritual & existential process that in its sheer enormity & scope can only be compared with the primeval divine act of creation; which the process of Mahapralay or Final Dissolution & the accompanying benediction of Sarvodhaar or Universal Salvation may be comprehended as being in a spiral involution of.

Radhasoami!
