His History

Param Pujya SaddguruShri
Dayal Ji Maharaj

A spiritual Master and Vedic scholar — disciple of Baba Jai Gurudev Ji Maharaj, an authority on Shabd Yog, and founder of the SaddguruShri Foundation.

The journey of a seeker

At the tender age of twelve, Guruji set out on the spiritual path under the guidance of his Eternal Guru, Baba Jai Gurudev Ji Maharaj — fondly remembered by devotees as Swami Ji. Through years of silence, devotion, and intense sadhana, he attained the light of knowledge: a direct, living experience of the inner truth that he has spent his life sharing with others.

An authority on Shabd Yog

Guruji is an authority on Shabd Yog — the science of the Cosmic Sounds, the practice of meditation, silence, and the eternal wisdom of the inner Word (Shabd). Through this path he seeks a one-to-one spiritual connection with every seeker, teaching that the key to meaningful change is releasing the vast positive energy held within one's own inner self, and integrating with the Primal Sounds.

Where spirituality meets science

A signature of Guruji's teaching is the bridge he builds between Adhyatm (spirituality) and Physics. He speaks not only to devotees, but reaches out deliberately to non-believers, agnostics, cynics, and the younger generation — meeting honest questions with reason as well as reverence. His invitation is open to all: as he says, a human being is like a seed which, given the right nurture, can grow into a wonderful tree, with flowers and with fruits.

The SaddguruShri Foundation

Guruji is the founder of the SaddguruShri Foundation, which works to promote the well-being of mind, body, and spirit. From its home in Nerul, Navi Mumbai, the Foundation carries Guruji's message across India and to a growing global family of devotees.

A worldwide family

Guruji's satsangs reach from the towns of Maharashtra — through touring gatherings such as the Dukh Nashak Kafila and the flagship Saket Mahayagya — to an international circuit that includes Houston, Dallas, Toronto, London, Amsterdam, and Zurich, where the intimate "SaddguruShri & You" conversations are held. Across languages and continents, the message is one: everyone is welcome.
