Primary Qualifications for Becoming Satsangi. {64.}
****
Some time back, I had received a request from a DEI {Dayalbagh Educational Institute; Deemed University} student seeking to join one of my Orkut Radhasoami communities.
I asked her if she was a Satsangi / from a Satsangi family / Jigyasu or Seeker.
She wrote back saying, “I am neither a Satsangi, nor from a Satsangi family, nor am I a Jigyasu, but I believe in Almighty Huzur.”
It was with great delight that I approved her request, replying, “& that is the most important thing, of course!”
So, who can become a Satsangi, or join the Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh?
Are there any restrictions on the basis of caste, race, nationality, one’s erstwhile religious allegiance, etc.?
None at all; {age, yes}.
The primary & vital requirement is that the person believes in the teachings of the Radhasoami religion, specifically that:
**** The name of the Supreme Godhead is Radhasoami Dayal;
**** The Revered Leader of the Radhasoami religion headquartered in Dayalbagh Is the Living Incarnation of Merciful Radhasoami; &
**** One wants to accept His Guidance & Mastership for one’s spiritual practices & salvation.
All other behavioral or practical requirements, such as being a pure vegetarian & teetotaler, attending Satsang at a Branch, are secondary to & flow from this central act of transferring the responsibility for one’s spiritual welfare onto the Sant Satguru of Dayalbagh.

Note: This is drawn from & inspired by the scriptures, practices & teachings pertaining to the Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh.
