It is well known for its humanitarian works and is a confluence of all religions. Everyone, irrespective of religion, race or nationality, is welcome here. It was founded on 29th April, 1948 by the Spiritual Master Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj. His Holiness anointed Param Pita Shah Satnam Ji Maharaj as his successor on 28th February, 1960. On 23rd September, 1990, Param Pita Shah Satnam Ji Maharaj announced, Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, the present Spiritual Master, as his successor. His Holiness stated that the trinity of the Saints that is, himself, his predecessor and his successor, were his own embodiment. Outwardly, the three spiritual masters have no worldly ties with one another.
No Offerings or donations are accepted here. His Holiness Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan does not accept even a penny from the organization’s funds for his personal requirements, which are fulfilled from his own hard earned income. Volunteers themselves work hard to meet the expenses of the organization. Guruji guides people toward inner emancipation and noble deeds.
It is the result of Guruji’s spiritual guidance and benevolence that the Shah Satnam Ji Green ‘S’ Welfare Force Wing Members have great enthusiasm and zeal for the service of humanity. A brief description of the 133 ongoing humanitarian programs is given here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”NOVEL AND TRANSFORMATIVE INITIATIVES ” style=”round_outline” color=”green” size=”lg” open=”true” css_animation=”fadeInUp” el_id=”1499609015919-057b504b-5b04″]1.
