Only of historical significance to academics writing their PhD's - like David Christopher Lane, a disciple of Charan Singh. ... Another Guru Who Stayed Home - Sawan Singh, shown here with his disciple Kirpal Singh on his right. Kirpal came out into the world with the Sant Mant meditation, reaching NY in 1955; thus predating MMY and sowing some of the seeds of the expansion of Consciousness Movements of the 60's. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BaGNtG9YelU/TMav999DGbI/AAAAAAAAAlE/f3TSkXraX4U/s1600/Baba+Sawan+Singh+Ji+with+Kirpal+Singh+at+Dera.jpg
Kirpal wasn't mentioned in Sawan Singh's will. The "official" successorship went to Jagat Singh who didn't live long, then to Sawan's Nephew, Charan Singh (Guru of David Christopher Lane)... In a historical perspective, for all practical purposes Kiral Singh was the most prominant of the inheritors of Sawan's Sant Mat Tradition. ... Paul Twitchell was initiated by Kirpal Singh in 1955 and went on to found Eckankar. Twitchell was influenced a lot by Scientology. So Go Figure: SBS --> MMY.
