However, the lady who comes to open the Temple was an hour late and by that time we everyone waiting was hot and bothered, as it is on top of a cliff, some people even left. We went into the temple which was lovely but I think because we were fed up by that time, we couldn't enjoy it. The gift shop was not that good and didn't sell the bells that were hanging up outside the Butterfly Farm which were excellent. I am glad I went for the experience as it is beautiful.

Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB) is a philosophical organization based on the spiritual teachings of all religions and dedicated to a process of inner development under the guidance of a spiritual teacher. In the Indian language, Radha Soami means 'lord of the soul', satsang describes a group that seeks truth, and Beas refers to the town near which the main centre is located in northern India. There are a number of other contemporary movements that use the name 'Radha Soami' but Radha Soami Satsang Beas is not associated with any of them. RSSB was established in India in 1891 and gradually began spreading to other countries. Today RSSB holds meetings in more than 90 countries worldwide. It is a registered non-profit society with no affiliation to any political or commercial organizations. The philosophy teaches a personal path of spiritual development which includes a vegetarian diet, abstinence from intoxicants, a moral way of life and the practice of daily meditation. There are no rituals, ceremonies, hierarchies or mandatory contributions, nor are there compulsory gatherings. Members need not give up their cultural identity or religious preference to follow this path. now you know as much as me !!
