Jasdeep Singh Gill, on Monday, was announced as the patron and 'sant satguru' of the Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB).
The spiritual organisation's head Gurinder Singh Dhillon nominated Gill, 45, a doctorate in chemical engineering from Cambridge and an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, alumnus, for the position.
"Baba Gurinder Singh Dhillon has nominated Jasdeep Singh Gill, son of Sukhdev Singh Gill, as patron of the Radha Soami Satsang Beas Society with immediate effect from September 2, 2024," said the statement of RSSB secretary Devender Kumar Sikri.
"Jasdeep Singh Gill shall also succeed Baba Gurinder Singh Dhillon as the Sant Satguru of the Radha Soami Satsang Beas Society and will have the authority to give initiation (naam)," Sikri said.
"Baba Ji has expressed that like he has received full support and love of the ‘sangat’ after Huzur Maharaj ji, he has wished and requested that the same love and affection be given to Jasdeep Singh Gill in carrying out his ‘sewa (service)’ as patron and sang satguru", Sikri then added.
