Divya Delhi: 13 September 2025: A pious saint who devoted her entire life in the benign guidance of six Satgurus. Beloved by all, and the author of many historic and inspirational books of the Mission, her life remains a luminous chapter in the history of the Nirankari Mission. On the late night of 12 September, having completed the breaths granted by the Almighty Nirankar, she surrendered at the Nirankar’s will and became one with the Divine. Her life has not only been a bright chapter in the Mission’s history but will also remain a source of inspiration for generations to come.

Rev. Raj Vasdev Singh Ji was born on 5 May 1941 in Peshawar, Pakistan. Due to her family’s close connection with the True Master’s family, she was a devoted disciple since childhood. Her original name was Rajinder Kaur, but after marriage to Vasdev Singh Ji, she came to be known as Raj Vasdev in the field of writing and service – a name that became her identity. She received Brahm Gyan from Shahenshah Baba Avtar Singh Ji. Her entire family was steeped in the colour of devotion to the Nirankari Mission. Hence, her thoughts, emotions, and deeds always reflected dedication, fearlessness, and the passion of ishq-haqiqi (divine love).

In education, she consistently displayed excellence. She did her early schooling at Khalsa High School, Ambala Cantt. After succeeding in the Home Nursing competition and completing matriculation, she became a teacher at Punjab National School, Ambala Cantt. Continuing her studies, she earned an M.A. in English and later served as a Professor of English at DAV College, Hoshiarpur. Despite facing many difficult circumstances in life, she never stopped moving forward, which is why her personality always radiated indomitable courage and dedication.

Rev. Raj Vasdev Ji made the propagation of the Mission the purpose of her life. She wished that every child of the Mission should become a preacher, and with this aim she travelled across India and abroad, spreading satsang, teachings, and spiritual awareness. From 1990, she began contributing regularly to the Mission’s magazines and publications. Her writing style was simple, profound, and heart-touching, connecting readers deeply with the teachings of the Mission. In 2002, during the General Body Meeting, Satguru Baba Hardev Singh Ji appointed her as Additional Member Incharge of the Sant Nirankari Mandal’s Executive Committee, making her the first woman member of this committee. This was not only a historic decision but also a new milestone in enabling active participation of women in the Mission. From 2005 to 2009, she was entrusted with the Publication Department and the Mission’s public schools, which she served with utmost devotion and efficiency.
