77 Years of Service : Dera Sacha Sauda’s Pledge to Humanity

77 Years of Serving Humanity, Spreading Light, and Uplifting Souls

Standing tall and radiating the light of compassion, unity, and love, Dera Sacha Sauda is a socio-spiritual organization globally renowned for its humanitarian efforts and selfless service. Breaking down barriers of caste, creed, and discrimination, it connects people with the divine, instills core human values, and enlightens millions of souls.

Dera Sacha Sauda was founded by Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj in April 1948, following the divine command of Sawan Shah Ji Maharaj to work towards the salvation of the people in the Baagad region by imparting Naam Shabad—the sacred method of meditation.

The Humble Beginnings: A Vision Turned Reality

Following his revered Guru’s sermons, Shah Mastana Ji arrived in Sirsa and established a small mud structure in a barren land, naming it 'Dera Sacha Sauda'—a name destined to resonate across the world.

With only a handful of volunteers, Shah Mastana Ji began conducting Satsangs, drawing people with his divine wisdom and magnetic presence. Many, even if unable to comprehend his words, felt deeply moved by the sweetness of his voice and the spiritual energy radiating from him.

His powerful sermons inspired many to renounce vices such as alcohol, dishonesty, corruption, and meat consumption, guiding them towards a righteous and virtuous life. Shah Mastana Ji emphasized hard work, integrity, and honesty, encouraging his disciples to earn their livelihood through ethical means.

Implementing these core values, the servitors living with Mastana Ji would sell humble items like dung cakes and sticks in the city to earn the livelihood.

The Growth of Dera Sacha Sauda: A Legacy of Spiritual Evolution

Over time, Shah Mastana Ji constructed and deconstructed the Dera building—now known as Shah Mastana Ji Shah Satnam Ji Dham—multiple times. With each rebuilding, an additional room was miraculously created from the same set of bricks. Shah Mastana Ji said, “Even the bricks of Dera Sacha Sauda give birth,” signifying its divine expansion.

Dera Sacha Sauda is not a structure, sect, or religion—it is a sacred sanctuary of selfless love and service. It welcomes people from all walks of life, allowing them to pray in their own way while embracing universal human values.

Since 1948, three divine Masters—Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj, Shah Satnam Ji Maharaj, and Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan—have propagated the message of true devotion. They have illuminated the path of compassion, truth, and righteousness, emphasizing selflessness, kindness, and service to humanity as the highest virtues.

These divine teachings have transformed millions, enabling them to truly live their faith. Today, nearly 70 million devotees practice the Method of Meditation, which purifies the soul, strengthens character, and provides clarity of purpose. Under the guidance of Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, millions are leading peaceful lives, contributing to a more harmonious world.

A Seed that Blossomed into a Global Movement

The seed sown by Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj, nurtured by Shah Satnam Ji Maharaj, has now grown into a vast, flourishing tree—a spiritual haven offering solace to millions, under the divine leadership of Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan (Saint Dr. MSG).

With the sacred vision to assist the less fortunate or those in need, 167 humanitarian initiatives have been commenced by revered Saint Dr. MSG and are being actively carried out by Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers worldwide. These initiatives include:

• Disaster relief and rescue operations
• Blood donation drives
• Tree plantation campaigns
• Posthumous body and eye donations
• Women empowerment initiatives
• Girl child welfare programs, and many more

Dera Sacha Sauda holds numerous records in Guinness World Records, Asia Book of Records, Limca Book of Records and India Book of Records for its unparalleled humanitarian contributions.
