Gurinder Singh's son become CEO of Religare subsidiary

Money (lots of it) and spirituality (questionable amount of it) continue to mix at Radha Soami Satsang Beas, the Indian religious organization I used to be a part of. Someone just emailed me a link to this news story, "Religare Health Trust names Gurpreet Dhillon as CEO." Religare Health Trust (RHT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Delhi-based Religare Enterprise Ltd (REL), has named Gurpreet Dhillon as CEO of the company. Earlier, Dhillon was working as the executive director and COO of RHT. ...Gurpreet Dhillon is also a second cousin of the billionaire brothers Malvinder and Shivinder Singh who are the promoters of Religare and Fortis Group. Moreover, Gurpreet is one of the two sons of Gurinder Singh Dhillon, leader of the spiritual group Radha Soami Satsang Beas.

Earlier today a friend and I went to the local Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB) meeting in Minnesota. I'd decided to donate two boxes of RSSB books which I had already read. I never thought anything about donating the books since I'd been collecting free books and magazines for years. Though I hadn't attended satsan...

Do Psychics Believe in God? What Psychic Mediums Have Taught Me About The Afterlife

Image
by true2source Article by Danny Fredricks Do psychic mediums believe in god? What is their general position on religion and faith? Can you be a medium and NOT believe in a higher power, or would that be too much of a contradiction? These questions and more are commonly asked by OUR readers and subscribers, so if you've ever wondered the same thing, let's take a closer look below: Is God and the afterlife synonymous... or are they different things altogether? It's an interesting question. While 20 years of psychic research HAS taught me that most mediums DO believe in god, I've also found that what they actually believe in varies quite a bit from person to person. And while most certainly believe in a higher power or a universal energy that organizes all things, how that higher power is ...
