Baba Buta Ji

The Mission made it's beginnings in 1929 in Peshawar, India, when Baba Buta Ji raised the voice of Truth, inspiring a small network of individuals whilst on his working travels. Accompanied by his most devoted disciple Baba Avtar Ji, they worked virtuously day and night to share their divine experience with as many people as possible. Baba Buta Ji breathed his last in 1943, bestowing responsibility for carrying the Mission onwards upon Baba Avtar Ji.

Baba Avtar Ji

Such was the extra-ordinary personality of Baba Avtar Ji. His teachings had such an awe-inspiring impact upon devotees, that they were compiled during his lifetime in the form of the Sampuran Avtar Bani. The writings were in prose, which crystallised the very essence of spiritual living on earth in a simple, yet very moving language.

In 1962, Baba Avtar Ji took the remarkable decision to proclaim Baba Gurbachan Ji (above) as the manifest Satguru, and reverted himself to the life of discipleship. Baba Gurbachan Ji, who had already endeared himself as a devoted Missionary, carried the teachings abroad for the first time, establishing followings in almost every continent of the world. He prioritised a social welfare agenda, and set-up the 'Sewadal', the Mission's Voluntary Corps, to perform all manner of community support duties, relief work and charitable activities. Baba Gurbachan Ji's contribution to the noble cause was beyond measure

Before his departure from earth, Baba Gurbachan Ji was able to proclaim Baba Hardev Ji (above) as the Spiritual Master who would take the mission forward. This divine personality is working tirelessly to inspire people to realise the supreme purpose of their lives, and guiding the world towards an enduring relationship with God. Today, the Sant Nirankari Mission is truly a global spiritual movement, having centres in every corner of the world. The eternal Mission continues to move onwards…
