Who is Guruji?
According to the official website, Guruji, born on 7 July 1954 in Dugri village of Malerkotla tehsil in Punjab, was also known as Nirmal Singh Ji Maharaj. He obtained a double master's degree in English and Economics from Malerkotla but left everything in 1975 to devote his life to silent spiritual service. He sat at various places, including Jalandhar, Chandigarh, Panchkula, and New Delhi.
He took mahasamadhi (leaving the mortal body) on 31 May 2007, yet devotees continue to experience his presence to this day.
