Radha Soami Satsang Beas gets new spiritual head

BEAS: Jasdeep Singh Gill has been nominated as the new spiritual head of Radha Soami Satsang Beas, a spiritual organisation on the banks of the river Beas about 45 km from Amritsar in Punjab, that commands a substantial following both within the country and abroad.

The announcement was made by current dera head Gurinder Singh Dhillon on Monday, according to a statement issued by the dera. "Baba Gurinder Singh Dhillon has nominated Jasdeep Singh Gill, son of Sukhdev Singh Gill, as patron of the Radha Soami Satsang Beas Society with immediate effect from Sept 2, 2024," said the statement.

Dhillon is the nephew of Charan Singh, the previous head of the dera, while Jasdeep Singh Gill is the grandson of Dhillon's mother's sister. A doctor in chemical engineering from Cambridge, Gill is the sixth spiritual head of the sect since it was formed when Jaimal Singh was appointed its chief, who was followed by Sawan Singh, Jagat Singh, Charan Singh, and Gurinder Singh Dhillon.
