1. Stories From Paradise

2. Gobind Sadan—a living interfaith spiritual community
founded by Baba Virsa Singh on the outskirts of New Delhi,
India—is like paradise to me and many who come here. I
am Mary Pat Fisher, author of Living Religions and other
college textbooks on religion. I have never seen another
place like Gobind Sadan anywhere in the world. It gives
practical expression to Babaji’s mission, demonstrating the
oneness of religions, the oneness of all prophets, the
power of faith in God, true spirituality, work as worship,
empowerment of the poor and weak, and the oneness of
our human family.

3. Babaji left his physical body on December
24, 2007, but he is quite present with us and
continuing to manage everything. We call
him “Maharaj,” “The Great King,” for he is a
tremendously powerful spiritual teacher.
We are a cross-section of humanity: wealthy
and poor, highly educated and illiterate,
Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, and
Buddhists, from India and many other
countries. By Maharaj Ji’s inspiration, we
live, work, and worship together as members
of one human family. Devotions go on night
and day in many sacred places here our
several havans (sacred fires), Darbar Sahib,
mosque, Jesus’ Place, temples to many
deities, Buddha and Mahavir’s pavilion, and
the Sh’ma Place of Jewish worship
according to Maharaj Ji’s directions. Miracles
of healing and transformation happen all the
time in this genuine spiritual atmosphere.

4. Extensive information about Gobind Sadan and
Baba Virsa Singh Ji Maharaj are available on our
official website, www.gobindsadan.org, and our
Russian website, www.gobindsadan-rus.org. This
website is devoted to my own impressions of
Gobind Sadan since I first came here to live in
1991. I have seen many places and teachers in the
world, but nothing impresses me so much as
Gobind Sadan and Maharaj Ji. May these true
spiritual stories, photos, books, and videos from
this unique spiritual community be a source of
inspiration to you also.
With love from paradise, Mary

5. • Babaji dearly loves children and is
giving great emphasis to their
education. Thus we have developed
a number of educational
programmes for the poor children in
and around Gobind Sadan, including
interfaith education classes as well
as academic studies, and also
simple classes and activities
conveying Babaji’s teachings. The
children pick up things very fast and
are a delight to work with. They love
acting out stories, so every Sunday
afternoon, many Hindu, Muslim, and
Sikh children come voluntarily to
participate in plays from all religions
and to discuss their meanings.

7. These are articles short and long
about the spiritual life, as seen
through the lens of various
religions. Some are short talks I
prepared for a BBC World Service
series entitled "Words of Faith."
Some are talks I have given here
and there. Always they are
grounded in what I have learned
at the feet of Baba Virsa Singh Ji
Maharaj.

8. When I first came to Gobind
Sadan, a unique interfaith
spiritual community, I asked
our great teacher, Baba
Virsa Singh Ji, to unite me
with God. He replied, “Don’t
you know that you are
always united with Him?
Where can you go that He is
not?” Here at Gobind Sadan
this Presence is palpable. It
is our life.

10. • Long before I met Him in
His temporary physical
form as Baba Virsa Singh
Ji, Maharaj Ji has been
guiding me from inside.
Now that He is no longer
in that physical body, he
continues to do so. On
request, He sometimes
gives very touching and
true messages for specific
purposes. Some of these
will be posted on Stories
from Paradise from time
to time so that more
people can benefit from
His eternal wisdom.
