Born in the holy city of Amritsar and educated at Khalsa College, Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind arrived in the United States in 1912 and became a great teacher of purest spirituality, whose legacy contin­ues to inspire truth-seekers to this day.

During his early years in the lumber mills of the Pacific Northwest, Dr. Thind was active in the Gadar movement, help­ing to secure the same liberty for Indians at home that he and other immigrants sought in America.

After a brief stint in the U.S. Army during World War I, he embarked on a lifelong career of lecturing and writing that would eventually reach millions of truth-seekers worldwide.

At the same time, he fought for—and eventually won—American citizenship, a struggle that included a “landmark” Supreme Court case with a most regret­table outcome.

In the 1950s Dr. Thind, or “Doctorji” as his students lovingly called him, began to publish—nearly a dozen books in his lifetime, with more than a score available today. In them he set forth the profound philosophy of Spiritual Science, a tested method of uniting the individual soul with its ultimate Creator, which he in­sisted each person must do for himself.

This long-awaited biography, includ­ing dozens of rare photographs, traces the footsteps of Dr. Thind’s remarkable life, outlines the core principles of his teach­ings, and examines his legacy through the personal recollections of students and family who knew Doctorji first-hand.
