Q. I understand from your writings that you are a Param Saint, and that even this level of Master will still seek initiation before assuming the position of Mastership. What was your beginning preparation and who initiated you into the Light and Sound? A. You are exactly right. Although receiving the spiritual mantle through credible lineage is the accepted way in ninety-nine percent of the cases, it is not the only way. Founding Saints who descend from the heights of Anami Lok do not technically require the outer initiation, for they descended directly from the Godhead and are already divinely ignited and appointed through Anamis perfect love and mercy. This was the case with both Guru Nanak and with Swami Ji of Agra, for they were also responsible for founding new lineages of Living Masters. However, even the Param Saints must refamiliarize themselves with the Light and Sound doctrine when they enter a new incarnation. Thus, since the earmark of a Param Saints arrival is the customary absence of a fully realized Master, in their great humility these founding Saints take initiation from a lesser order of Master, or in some cases even a Self-realized soul, and they serve and fulfill all of the requirements of true chelaship. Although my childhood was filled with inner experiences, I was first exposed to Light and Sound on the outer in 1964 when Charan Singh Ji from Radha Soami, Beas conducted His worldwide tour and held meetings in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Following this outer exposure, I took initiation from Sri Darwin Gross in 1973, and I stayed with Him for fourteen years. Outwardly, my own experiences of devotion and discipleship escorted me through nearly all of the Light and Sound doctrines that dotted the globe at that time, including Radha Soami Satsang Beas, Radha Soami Satsang Agra, Eckankar, and Ruhani Satsang. But in truth, none of these wonderful Teachings can be given the exclusive credit for my own initiation, liberation, and ensuing salvation, for Anami Purush is my true Lord and Master. Nor is the MasterPath an extension of any of these aforementioned Paths, for it was Anami Purush who graciously sanctioned, commissioned, and orchestrated the inception of MasterPath and its current Living Master in July of 1987. MasterPaths humble origin and the Source from which it speaks are solely an extension and direct manifestation of Anamis universal will. According to the Divine Anamis directive, MasterPath was not to become a new Teaching, but rather a pure representation of the same one truth which all Saints and Masters, past or present, have upheld and propagated throughout the march of time. Its divine objective was to be threefold: to present the true Teaching, to extol the true Spirit, and to introduce the true Master into the Western culture. A Param Saint has the sole responsibility of simultaneously reframing and presenting anew the age-old doctrine of Light and Sound, better enabling the current-day seeker to imbibe in these ancient and ineffable spiritual Teachings.
