What religion is RADHA SOAMI??

Travel Tips

There are competing explanations for the meaning of "Radha Soami", the most common of these including plays on the words Radha (a devotee of Krishna) and Swami. Other meanings includes the reversal path of the divine light via Khand or divisions... as the word Radha when inverted forms Dhara, meaning flow ( also divine flow) and Swami meaning the master. The purpose and concept of the RadhaSwami mat is union of this divine flow with its original master. This is done through surat shabd yoga. Others explain that it is a Dhunyatmak name, that is, an approximate reproduction in human speech of the cosmic sound, which can be heard internally through spiritual practice. (Aum, or Om, is a commonly known example of a Dhunyatmak name.) One way to explain Dhunyatmak Nam (a Dhunyatmak name) is to liken it to onomatopoeia, that commonly used poetic device, where engines are said to whirr, doors are slammed, bells ring and pagers beep. Except that, in this case, the sound one is trying to convey is not physical, but spiritual.

Follower of any religion can join RadhaSoami cult. It is supposed to accept you with whatever cult/religion you belong to. Though afterwards (once you become a regular devotee thereof), you have to take NAAM, and do all the things a regular follower has to do (such as attending Saturday/Sunday prayers, attending Bhandara and so on).
