| | Darshan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Darshan is a Sanskrit and Hindu (also used to some extent in Urdu) term meaning sight (in the sense of an instance of seeing something or somebody), vision, apparition, or a glimpse. | | | Children do touch the feet of their family elders while people of all ages will bend to touch the feet of a great guru or the icon of a Hindu demigod (angel) or a form of God (such as Ram or Krishna). | | | "Darshan" means Seeing, derived from the root drsh= "to see" (compare Greek derkomai). |

| | AUSPICIOUS SIGHT |
| | Darshan may be taken of a saintly individual, a temple, an important river such as the Ganga, a sacred mountain such as Mt. Kailash, the rising sun, and the image of a god. | | | Darshan of the sun streaming t hrough the temple at dawn and falling upon the image of the deity is taken at the suryapuja temples of Tamil Nadu (Malville 1985). | | | One sees the god and is seen; darshan is "given" by the god and "taken" by the person. |

| | The intriguing aspect of Darshan Singh's preceding letter is his emphasis on the written will by his father, Kirpal Singh, designating him as the spiritual successor. | | | Or, to put it more succinctly, the disciples around Darshan Singh did not believe that their guru was going to die, hence they were in "shock." Thus what the sangat was faced with were two different death accounts: Darshan knowing of his death--"clearly"--(what theology demands) and Darshan not knowing of his departure--"hints"--(what practically occurred). | | | For you see, Darshan Singh is an initiate of Sawan Singh, and thus not technically a "son" of Kirpal's in the spiritual sense of the term." (interview with Brian Walsh, 1983.) *] argued against vanshavali or hereditary gurus. |

| | Charisma & Darshan - ELAN VITAL MAHARAJI CULT |
| | As vehicles of darshan mundane interactions were thus sacralized; followers imputed charisma to the mere fact of their being together, and practiced the same sort of conscious, meditative methods used in darshan to make it perceptible. | | | Darshan loomed not just as a reunion with the cosmic lover, but almost as a spiritual test, of which one's power of spiritual seeing was only the first step. | | | Darshan means "sight" - of the deity or the guru who embodies him/her, usually for the purpose of imbibing his/her divine powers or grace (Babb, 1981; Eck:1981). |

| | Darshan's father, Param Sant Kirpal Singh, was passionately devoted to such a spiritual master, Hazur Baba Sawan Singh of Beas in Punjab, and was so advanced in meditation that Baba Sawan Singh ultimately chose him to carry on his spiritual mission. | | | Despite his routine of strict spiritual discipline, Darshan, unlike an ascetic or a monk, was engaged in the affairs of the world. | | | Remarkable for masterfully fulfilling his worldly responsibilities while immersing himself in his mystic quest, Darshan Singh (1921-1989) was a renowned spiritual teacher with tens of thousands of students around the globe. |
