New Delhi, May 13: Indian spiritual leader and Nirankari sect head Baba Hardev Singh was reportedly killed in a car accident in Canada on Friday.

BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain confirmed the development on Twitter.

Baba Hardev Singh was the chief priest of the spiritual organization Sant Nirankari Mission. He was born to the previous Satguru of Sant Nirankari Mission, Gurbachan Singh and his wife Kulwant Kaur.

The Sant Nirankari Movement or Universal Brotherhood Movement, which was started by Baba Buta Singh in early 19th century, believes in the importance of a living leader. Sikhism, on the other hand, believed in the Sikh scriptures as their final guru. It was this difference that caused the Sant Nirankari movement, which separated from mainstream Sikhism in 1929.

Satguru Gurbachan Singh was assassinated by fundamentalist Sikhs belonging to Akhand Kirtani Jatha who were wary of the growing power of the Nirankari Mission.

After the assassination, Baba Hardev Singh succeeded his father as the Satguru of the mission and continued to provide teachings to the believers.

The mission has grown to be a global entity with over 2000 centres around the world.

Interesting how the first leader was his grand father and then his father and then him, after his death, his wife and then his daughter. Is this the first ‘family’ of spirituality? Seems more like a family business.
