Samast Bharatiya Sant Samaj (समस्त भारतीय संत समाज) is an Indian registered interfaith spiritual and social welfare organization, founded on 9 August 2017 by Swami Sant Dass Ji Maharaj, also known as Santdas Rattewal. The organization is headquartered at Shri Santji Darbar, 103, Malwa Avenue, Khalsa Nagar-C, Bhadson Road, Patiala, Punjab – 147001. It is registered under the Societies Registration Act (XXI of 1860) in Punjab and is recognized by NITI Aayog, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (e-Anudaan), the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (CSR), the Ministry of Ayush, and the Ministry of Textiles (Government of India).

The organization's guiding spiritual motto is: सतनाम जी — अलख पुरुष अविनाशी सर्वे जीव निस्तारा — सतसाहिब जी

Background and Purpose

Samast Bharatiya Sant Samaj was established in response to the growing fragmentation of Sant-mat (the path of the saints) due to sectarianism, caste-based divisions, and blind faith. The founder observed that the authentic, universal teachings of great Sant-Mahapurushas — including Satguru Kabir Sahib, Satguru Ravidas Ji, Satguru Nanak Dev Ji, and others — were being confined within narrow boundaries of specific sects, deras, and gaddis, resulting in division and conflict among followers.

The organization was founded with a vision of creating an all-inclusive, non-sectarian, common platform — a sarvsamjha manch — that unites all Sant-Mahapurushas, Mahants, Mahatmas, Acharyas, and communities under the shared banner of the saints' universal teachings, irrespective of caste, religion, panth, or region.

Founder

Swami Sant Dass Ji Maharaj, born on 21 May 1973 in village Jauli, Sonipat district, Haryana, is the Founder and President of Samast Bharatiya Sant Samaj. He is a spiritual practitioner, author of the Gyan Prakash granth series, and a longstanding follower of the Sant-mat tradition, having received initiation (Naam-daan) in the Garibdasi and Ghisa Panths from the age of five. He is a resident of Shri Santji Darbar, Patiala, Punjab.
