The Importance of Satguru/ True Guru Is More Than Anything

Language is the medium to express our thoughts, share ideas and help us to communicate better. The Supreme God is the only one who understands each language. He is the only one who can understand the language of animals, birds and humans. Taking Refuge of a True Saint is the most important thing that everyone should do.

Language Is a Medium to Express Our Thoughts and Ideas

One cannot express one’s emotions and ideas clearly if one is not familiar with the native language of any country. Similarly, in order to give direction to our life and to get rid of 84 lakh births, one must take refuge in a True Saint or Satguru because True devotion given by Him connects us to the Supreme Power.

Who Is the True Saint at present?

At present, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj is the only True Saint Who is providing authenticated devotion mentioned in the Holy Scriptures such as The Quran Sharif, The Bible, The Bhagavad Gita, The Shri Guru Granth Sahib ji and others. 

The Tatvgyan of our holy books is rewritten in a book named “Gyan Ganga” available in Hindi as well as in Punjabi, Urdu, English, Marathi and many other languages. This is the main reason that in this era (Kalyug), God has made all people educated so that they can know about the Real One Supreme God and the true Naam (devotion) given By Him which helps all beings to attain Moksha.
