History of Dera sacha Sauda.
Mastana
Balochistani (honorifically
known as Shehanshah Shah Mastana Balochistani Ji Maharaj, 15 November 1891 - 18 April 1960) was an Indian saint and the founder of the socio-spiritual
organization Dera
Sacha Sauda (DSS) on 29
April 1948 in Sirsa(modern Haryana). He was originally from Balochistan, and later moved to Sirsa.
Balochistani was born in 1891 in Kalat district in Balochistan, British India. Later Baba Sawan Singh honoured him with the
name of Shah 'Mastana Balochistani' Ji. Baba Sawan Singh further declared him
"Mastanon ka Mastana, Shahon Ka Shah ". At the age of 14 years,
Balochistani left home in search of a perfect spiritual Guru (teacher). At
last, after searching for nine years, he reached Beas in the state of Punjab in
India, where he met Baba Sawan Singh where he attended his
Satsang (spiritual congregation) and learned the method of meditation from
him. Baba Sawan Singh entrusted
Balochistani with the task of conducting spiritual discourses and teaching
meditation to the people in the provinces of Balochistan, Sindh and Punjab.
Later Baba Sawan Singh assigned Balochistani
duty in the vicinity of Bagarh a (region of northern Rajasthan and western
Haryana). He appointed him as one of his spiritual successors and sent him
to Sirsa in Haryana. Balochistani, on the orders of Baba
Sawan Singh, established Dera Sacha Sauda and raised public
awareness of Naam-Shabd. He laid the foundation of Dera Sacha Sauda in 1948 in
Sirsa. He laid the principle of earning through hard work and absolutely
prohibited acceptance of donations or charity of any kind.
Upon
his death, Shah Satnam Singh became
spiritual leader of DSS at age 41, serving from 1960 to 1990, followed by Gurmeet Ram Rahim
Singh starting 1990.
Balochistani taught the method of meditation
(Naam Shabad) to thousands of people over a period of twelve years (1948-1960).
During this period, people from various parts of the country started coming to Dera
Sacha Sauda and became
his followers. He built 25 ashrams
in Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan. Facilities of drinking water and langar (free community
meals) were provided in these ashrams. He taught the practical method of
meditation to thousands of people in simple language.
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh (born 15 August 1967) is
an Indian guru, music producer, singer-songwriter,
actor, and filmmaker. He has been the head of the social group Dera Sacha Sauda (DSS) since 23 September
1990. The Indian Express placed
Singh 96th in their list of the 100 most powerful Indians of 2015.
Singh
has released several music albums and films, which typically revolve around
himself and his teachings. He is usually credited in his films as actor,
director, writer, songwriter, as well as various other roles; he notably
received credits in thirty separate film departments for his 2016 film MSG: The
Warrior Lion Heart. His films were negatively received by
critics, with many considering them propaganda and criticising their poor
quality.
Singh
has been accused of mocking Sikh and Hindu religious
figures, as well as Adivasi.He has also been
accused of rape, murder and ordering forced castrations. On 25 August
2017, he was convicted of rape by a special Central
Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court.His conviction led to widespread
rioting, which left 38 people dead and over 300 injured. On 28
August 2017, Singh was sentenced to 20 years in jail for rape.
Conclusion:-After seeing the history of Establishment of Dera
Sacha sauda and Millions of followers of this cult a doubt comes to my mind
that was Baba Ram Rahim Instrumental in influencing Indian Government to trigger the talk of Independence of Balochistan province of Pakistan last year from RED FORT on Aug 15
2016.
