DADAJI MAHARAJ

  As Head of Radhasoami Faith


While making his glorious record of achievements in various academic, administrative, social, philanthropical, and other public fields, Dr. Mathur remained at heart a spiritualist. The blending of intellectualism and spiritualism in a single personality is a rare phenomenon witnessed once in ages. It is combining of Heaven and Earth, raising worldly actions to spiritual heights and infusing spiritual values into practical life. Dr. Mathur constantly remains conscious of the fact that he belonged to a long ancestory of spritualists beginning with Param Purush Puran Dhani Hazur Maharaj, the founder of Radhasoami Faith in the middle of the nineteenth century.

When Param Purush Puran Dhani Kunwarji Maharaj departed for his heavenly abode in 1959, the onerous task of heading and organising Radhasoami Satsang fell on the young shoulders of Dr. Mathur. He was just 29 years of age when he became Head of Radhasoami Satsang of Peepal Mandi. On his accession to this apex position in the Faith, he was hailed as Dadaji Maharaj, and he is universally known as such ever since then. On his installation to this august position all his spiritual ancestors invisibly blessed him, with the result that a spiritual halo visibly emerged and encircled his head. His followers and devotees feel blessed to see this halo around him.

Religious Tours

Dadaji Maharaj has been working hard in his mission of strengthening and expanding the Radhasoami Faith. On the insistence of many of his disciples and followers Dadaji Maharaj set out on an extensive tour of Rajasthan in 1962. He went to several remote places including Sirsa, Abohar, Ganganagar, Ajmer, Sujangarh, Churu, Sardarshahar, Jaipur, etc. His Satsang at all these places was attended by thousands of people, most of whom got inducted into this Faith. He also extensively toured over Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, and remote places in Uttar Pradesh. Everywhere he was most warmly received and applauded and thousands of men and women joined the Radhasoami Satsang.

Anniversaries and Bhandaras

The centenary celebrations, anniversaries and Bhandaras are religiously and devotionally held at Hazuri Bhawan on every auspicious day. The first centenary celebration of the Founding of Radhasoami Faith was magnificently celebrated on Basant Panchmi Day in 1961. Likewise the 75th Bhandara of Param Purush Puran Dhani Hazur Maharaj was held with equal magnificence in 1963. Similarly the Bhandaras on the auspicious days relating to Kunwarji Maharaj, Lalaji Maharaj, and Hazur Maharaj and Soamiji Maharaj are held every year, and thousands of Satsangis from all over the country and abroad come with full devotional reverence to participate in them. The fame and glory of Peepal Mandi Satsang is increasing and expanding far and wide under the benediction of Dadaji Maharaj.

Literary Works

That Dadaji Maharaj is a great scholar and intellectual, an eminent historian and researcher, and an acclaimed orator and author is known to all, but many do not know that he is a celebrated poet and connoisseur of classical music too. Only a month ago I called upon him one evening and found him composing and reciting sonorous verses and hymns extempore which two or three of his disciples were noting down hurriedly. I was surprised to see him in a poetic frenzy and was reminded of the great Milton who used to recite verses in the like manner for his Paradise Lost and his daughters or disciples used to note them down. I was told that Dr. Mathur had thus composed two volumes of poetry which have been published. His speeches on different occasions run into hundreds of recorded tapes.

He has composed and published several volumes of prayers, hymns, shabds, devotional songs and gazals and richly added to the scriptures and history of Radhasoami Faith. His Premawali, Prem Ragini, Prem Tarangini and Amrit Bachans are reverentially read, recited and meditated upon by lakhs of his disciples and followers. He has also published the justly acclaimed Centenary Souvenir on the 175th birthday of Soamiji Maharaj. He has also published the biographies of Lalaji Maharaj and Kunwarji Maharaj, which are authentic records of their lives.

Construction and Renovation

A scholar of architecture and archaeology as he is, he has applied his knowledge and experience of these branches to add to the beauty and magnificence of Hazuri Bhawan by the renovations and new construction on a large scale. He built the Samadh of Param Purush Puran Dhani Kunwarji Maharaj with his own 'Karseva' and that of the Satsangis. He also renovated the chambers of both Hazur Maharaj and Kunwarji Maharaj. A very important new construction added to Hazuri Bhawan is a huge four-storied Hazuri Rasoi fully equipped with all modern gadgets. Here food is served free of cost both times to the Satsangis dwelling here or coming from outside. The renovations added to the magnificance of Hazuri Bhawan, present a beautiful and reverential blending of antiquity and modernism.
