Manav Dayal I.C.Sharma was a spiritual leader of Manavta Mandir Hoshiarpur, Punjab, India.[1] Baba Faqir Chand gave him work in his own place through his will dated 20-04-1980.[2] Dr. Sharma was a great Indian philosopher and a professor of University of California, United States and India. He was also a past president of the Indian Philosophical Congress. Faqir nominated him to work in his (Faqir's) place in presence or absence of Bhagat Munshi Ram. He traveled world wide to propagate Radha Soami Mat and Surat Shabd Yoga. Sharma backtracked from Faqir and emphasized more traditional Radhasoami themes on shabd yoga and spirituality.[3] He exerted much stronger command over Ashram.[4]
