This philosophy, based on the teachings of mystics from all religions, has had its headquarters at Dera Baba Jaimal Singh near the river Beas in northern India since 1891. Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB), with centres located worldwide, is a registered non-profit, charitable society, independent of any political or commercial affiliations.

Radha Soami means ‘lord of the soul’, and satsang' describes a group that seeks truth. There are a number of other contemporary movements that utilize the phrase ‘Radha Soami’. The Radha Soami Satsang Beas is not affiliated with these other movements. all are puran gurus Sikhs reject the idea of Radha Soami's being affiliated with them, as a Sikh regards Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji as the last true living Guru, and Shri Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal Guru.
