About the Author:
About the Author Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind was born in the state of Punjab, India in 1892 and educated at Khalsa College in Amritsar. His early teachers were the Sikh pundits of his community, especially his father, Sardar Boota Singh Thind, whose living example and spiritual teachings left an indelible blueprint to the knowledge of God, and whose legacy Dr. Thind spent a lifetime fulfilling. He became inspired to visit the United States to fulfill his destiny as a spiritual teacher upon reading works of Emerson, Whitman and Thoreau. Dr. Thind arrived in America in 1912, and spent the rest of his life lecturing throughout the United States and publishing fifteen books, including The Radiant Road to Reality, The Pearl of Greatest Price, The House of Happiness, and many others, reaching an audience of at least five million and initiating thousands of disciples into the Inner Life. He also served in the U.S. Army in World War 1, worked actively in India's independence movement, and assisted many Indian students in completing their education in the U.S. Dr. Thind left his mortal body willingly in 1967, survived by his wife, Vivian, and his children, David and Rosalind. But his teachings continue to make significant contribution toward a scientific approach to religion. It has been said of him, “He was a man of indomitable will, invincible spirit and unshakable faith; a knower of God, who lived the life of truth and Divine Purpose, giving these principles first place above all else in his life.”
