Science of Spirituality - Who We Are
Science of Spirituality is a global, not-for-profit spiritual organization under the leadership of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj. We are hundreds of thousands of people of all nationalities, races and faiths deeply committed to a spiritual way of life based on meditation, service to others, and personal transformation. Science of Spirituality international headquarters is in Delhi, India and the North American headquarters is in Naperville, Illinois, USA.
If one were to summarize the mission and goals of Science of Spirituality in a few words, those words would be spirituality, peace, and service.
By spirituality we refer to life's great spiritual quest, the rediscovery of our inherent divinity as souls, as conscious spiritual beings created in the image and likeness of God. This is not an intellectual or emotional awareness, but a practical realization attained as we enter within ourselves through meditation. All scriptures declare this to be life's supreme purpose and achievement. True and lasting happiness comes only when we reclaim our nature as spiritual beings.
By peace we mean inner peace-the deep and abiding calm that is born of a conscious connection with God. However, Science of Spirituality also cherishes and works for outer peace, the communal harmony for which the world today so fervently prays. The peace to which we aspire transcends race, creed, and nationality. While celebrating our outer diversity, true peace summons us to a deeper vision of unity, one based on the spiritual perception of our fundamental oneness at the level of the soul.
By service we first mean service to ourselves through nurturing our own inner awakening. As we deepen our
connection with God, the fragrance gained from that blossoming overflow from us, manifesting in acts of
love and compassion for others. The spiritual path, we believe, is dynamic and life-affirming.
Our inner lives are not separate from our outer lives. As we advance in meditation and behold God's light within
ourselves, we see the same light shining in others. From this understanding arises a natural open-heartedness
and a passion to work for the welfare of others.
Science of Spirituality pursues these goals under the leadership of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, a respected interfaith leader and revered spiritual Master. Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj travels the globe teaching Shabd meditation, a technique taught for centuries by spiritual Masters of the Sant Mat tradition. Continuing the work of the three great Sant Mat Masters of this century, Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj, Sant Kirpal Singh Ji Maharaj, and Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj is able to connect individuals to the inner Light and Sound of God. Through the mystic currents of the Light and Sound, the soul can transcend both physical and mental consciousness to realize its own inherent divinity. Hundreds of thousands of people of all nationalities and religions are transforming their lives with this simple, powerful method of meditation and the spiritual way of life he teaches.
Practicing the Sant Mat approach to spirituality does not require leaving one's faith, for at the core of each faith, we believe, is the one divine power that is the common goal of all spiritual aspiration. Raising our consciousness to experience God's Light within ourselves is the primary mission of Science of Spirituality. It is this practical experience of oneness-of ourselves with God, and of all beings with each other-that leads to true peace and fulfillment.
