Find Your Protector Amidst the Chaos
In a world filled with natural disasters and sudden tragedies, Supreme God Kabir alone holds the power to safeguard lives. We exist in Kaal Brahm’s (Satan) realm where everything is temporary and uncertain. The deceitful nature of this realm is evident every day as millions succumb to illness, accidents and calamities.
Supreme God Kabir created all souls in Satlok, His indestructible, eternal abode and our original home. In contrast to Earth, Satlok is a place of eternal happiness and peace. The inhabitants of Satlok are immortal as they are not bound by the karmic cycle of life and death.
The true purpose of human life is to seek a Tatvadarshi Sant (Complete Saint), who alone can reveal the path that will lead us back to Satlok. A Tatvdarshi Sant provides a way of worship rooted in spiritual scriptures across religions.
Currently, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is the singular Complete Saint and the custodian of the authentic worship of God Kabir. Taking Naam Diksha (Initiation) from Sant Rampal Ji not only offers devotees impenetrable protection amidst all chaos, but also ultimate salvation and everlasting peace.
