Special significance of Basant Panchami
Media coordinator of the organisation said that according to Radhaswami Satsang Samvat, the year 2005 is going on. “Basant Panchami has a special significance for the organisation as it was on the occasion of Basant Panchami on February 15, 1861 that the first acharya of Radhaswami Math, Param Purush Puran Dhani Huzur Swami Ji Maharaj brought ‘satsang’ among the masses with the message of salvation”, he said.

“The fifth acharya of the organisation, Sahebji Maharaj laid the foundation for the establishment of Radhaswami Satsang headquarters in Dayalbagh, Agra by sowing a mulberry plant on January 20, 1915, on the occasion of Basant Panchami. This introduced the whole universe to the new ‘satsang’ culture”, he further added.
