Revision as of 14:44, 6 October 2009

Baba Faqir Chand (18 November 1886 - 11 September 1981) was an Indian master of Surat Shabd Yoga, or consciously controlled near death experience.[1] [2]He was the first Sant Mat guru to speak of overwhelming experience of certainty and the subjective projection of sacred forms without the conscious knowledge of the person at the center of the experience. This was known as as the Chandian Effect, as described by researcher David C. Lane. [3]

Life

Chand was Born on November 18, 1886 in village Panjhal of Hoshiarpur district in Punjab, India.[4] [5] With a background of poor Brahmin family and a suppressed childhood, he sought relief in the name of God.[6] After remaining non-vegetarian for some time his repentance and prayers took him to Radha Soami Mat through a divine vision of Data Dayal Shiv Brat Lal Ji Maharaj.[7] He initiated Faqir to Radha Soami Mat and gave him a book 'Saar Vachan (Hindi:सार-वचन)'[8] written by Shiv Dayal Singh (Swami Ji Maharaj) the founder of Radha Soami Mat. Soon he found the book contrary to his Hindu beliefs and taste. The mentions made therein to many established religious movements, mismatched with his impressions about them.[9] However, because of his unshakable faith in Data Dayal Ji he took a vow to honestly follow the path shown by his guru. He started delivering discourses (Satsang:Hindi:सत्संग) to his followers only after Data Dayal Ji died. It was then he openly narrated experienced truth that visions, holy forms, colors and lines appearing to believers during meditation and otherwise was Maya only and not the truth. Faqir discontinued the traditional Nam-Dan too (Hindi:नाम-दान) (near meaning of Nam Dan in English language is Baptism).[10] Instead, he preached that his description of higher stages of experienced inner knowledge was his Nam Dan.[11]. He performed all the duties of a guru without becoming one.[12][13] In literature, there is mention of miraculous and divine appearances of his form to his followers in need and distress. [14] [15] But he frankly disassociated himself from all such miracles saying it had happened for the faith of believers and not him. He declared all such followers (Hindi:सत्संगी) his Satguru (the teller of true knowledge) because experiences of followers who took him as their guru compelled him to go beyond mind (Hindi:मन), soul (light) (Hindi:प्रकाश) and inner sound current (Hindi:शब्द). It lead him to eternal peace (Hindi:परम शांति) and his search and craving for ultimate truth ended.[16] In 1980, in view of failing health of Faqir, David C. Lane, professor of Philosophy in California, made him a request to write his autobiography. Faqir accepted and dictated the same to Prof. B.R. Kamal. Originally written in Urdu language, it was translated into English by Prof. Kamal and later edited and published by Dr. Lane.[17]

He also made it clear that the trust of Manavta Mandir had no relation other than that of love with Manavta centers (opened in his name) and their preachers within the country and abroad

Baba Faqir Chand died on 11 September 1981 in North America.[citation needed] His will established a separate trust for Manavta Mandir, keeping it separate and independent of other Manavta centers. His mission ('Be Man') was also included in his last will. He appointed Munshi Ram Bhagat to give Nam Dan, instruct the souls (Hindi:जीव) and help distressed and perturbed people. He appointed Dr. I.C. Sharma, a well learned person in spiritual knowledge and practice (Hindi:परमार्थ और अभ्यास) etc. to work in his (Faqir Chand's place) in absence or presence of Munshi Ram Bhagat. He again appointed Bhagat Munshi Ram to function as Satguru when I.C. Sharma was absent. Under the terms of his will, no fee is to be charged for studying in school run by Manavta Mandir. But, Faqir made it compulsory for parents of wards to give an undertaking which restricted them from giving birth to more than three children (perhaps the first serious attempt to include family welfare program in religion itself).[citation needed]

His remains are interred in the premises of Manavta Mandir with flag of 'Be Man' mission unfurled upon them. He further clarified that his saintism excluded places of veneration of dead (Hindi:समाधि), grave, tomb and worship of great people those were dead. Therefore, he kept himself disassociated with 'Shiv Smadh' (tomb of Data Dayal Shiv Brat Lal). [18] [19]


Religious Views

After many years of his association with Radha Soami Mat and experience in Surat Shabd Yoga he agreed with their humanitarian approach but disagreed with the traditional Nam-Dan and the prevalent guruism in India. He had zero tolerance towards religious practices leading to exploitation of poor, innocent and believing people. His literature is evidence to the fact that he was ardent follower of basic principles of Sant Mat and Radha Soami Mat but was disillusioned with ultimate outcome of higher stages of Surat Shabd Yoga and mysticism nourished by Saints. His emphasis shifted from Yogic practices[20] to humanism of Sant Mat. [21].

In his opinion, Religion of Humanity must include the principle of 'sex for begetting children' (wanted children are intended) which could reduce the sufferings of human race.[22] Wish for welfare of self and others were important part of optimistic attitude as per his philosophy of life. For internal peace, he advised all young to remain busy, earn livelihood, remain under the guidance of a truthful person and observe self restraint. As a part of social duty he asked his followers not to intentionally hurt others, avoid purposeless talk, be tolerant to bitter words, serve fellow beings selflessly. He laid special emphasis on 'home peace' in all respects. Pious deeds (Hindi:शुभ कर्म), pious earnings (Hindi:शुद्ध कमाई), Charity (Hindi:दान) (which includes affection and welfare) were other aspects covered by him under social behavior and considered essential for humans. In other spiritual practices he underlined love, devotion, faith, dedication. At many places he taught his followers to be true to themselves, surrender to God's wish, repeat holy name, concentrate on holy form and realize the self.[23]

He noticed that all beings were bubbles of super most conscious element and ultimate goal of humans was peace[24]

Manavta Mandir

Data Dayal, in the year 1933, directed him to change the traditional mode of preachings (शिक्षा) of Sant Mat. For fulfilling guru's wish and carry forward his mission according to changed time,in the year 1962[25], Faqir established Manavta Mandir (Hindi:मानवता मंदिर) (Temple of Humanity) in Hoshiarpur.Publication of a monthly magazine 'Manav Mandir' (Hindi:मानव मंदिर) was started. The temple was dedicated to humanity and its religion(Hindi:मानव-धर्म).[26][27][28] Manavta Mandir became center of his mission where he continued to tell people the truth of miracles (mysterious functioning of mind) and also about the truth beyond mind. He did it at the cost of donations and offerings required to maintain Manavta Mandir.[29]

Other prominent disciples
