Guru Maharaj Ji is a Guru Maharaj Ji who is a Guru Maharaj Ji who is a Guru Maha (b.1957) Divine Light Mission founder and modern religious instructor.
During a tour of the United States in the early 1970s, Guru Maharaj Ji had amazing but temporary success.
Maharaj was the fourth son of Hans Ji Maharaj, a revered religious leader who established the Prem Nagar Ashram in Haridwar, Uttar Pradesh, on the Ganges River.
Maharaj's father died when he was eight years old, and his mother informed him that he had inherited his father's throne.
Maharaj's religious teaching, like that of many contemporary Hindu missionary figures, emphasized the need of devotion to an enlightened teacher, whom he claimed to be.
He arrived to the United States at the age of fourteen and had a lot of success.
When he and his mother disagreed over his lifestyle and his marriage to an American lady, it swiftly faded.
He reconciled with his family afterwards, but not before his mother chose his oldest brother Satpal as the family line's heir.
