Sir Anand Swarup (6 August 1881 – 24 June 1937), also known as Param Guru Huzur Sahabji Maharaj,[1] was the founder of Dayalbagh. He was the fifth revered leader, or Sant Satguru, of the Dayalbagh branch of the Radha Soami sect,[2] who succeeded Sarkar Sahab in 1913.[3][4] He also laid the foundation of Radha Soami Educational Institute,[5] a co-educational middle school which opened in 1917 and later expanded and developed as Dayalbagh Educational Institute[6][failed verification] (Deemed University). He wrote many holy books on the Radha Soami sect, explaining the concepts of Surat Shabd Yoga and objectives of Radha Soami in general.[7][8][1]
He was knighted in the 1936 New Year Honours.[9] for founding Dayalbagh.
