Dr. Chandra Gupta Ji, born on February 12, 1916, in Rohtak, Haryana, was the youngest son of Lala Niranjan Lal Aggarwal and Mrs. Parvati Devi. His family descended from prominent rulers in Haryana and bore titles like Rai Bahadur Rai Chaudhary Kanungo. Dr. Gupta had two brothers, Lala Kalyan Sahai and Lala Poornchand Gupta, and two sisters, Mrs. Vidyawati and Mrs. Ichcharawati.
His eldest brother, Kalyan Sahai, was a spiritually gifted saint who passed away at 25, while his other brother, Poornchand Gupta, became a leader in the Arya Samaj movement. Inspired by his mother's devotion, Dr. Gupta developed a deep connection with spirituality from a young age, becoming a devotee of Lord Hanuman at four. The Radhasoami faith also influenced his family, with spiritual discourses regularly held at their home. Dr. Gupta completed his early education in Rohtak and was shaped by a life of devotion and spiritual teachings.
Dr. Chandra Gupta Ji, revered as “Devi Ji” in Rohtak, was a saint whose words were considered absolute truth. She authored Aakashvani, a book on the Radhasoami faith, which significantly influenced the faith’s propagation in Rohtak. Her elder brother, Lala Kalyan Sahai, entrusted his spiritual legacy to their father upon his passing.
Dr. Gupta married Darshana Devi of Jind in 1938 and relocated to Bikaner in 1939, where he worked in the Forest Department’s accounts section. The family, which included seven children (five sons and two daughters who survived), lived in Bikaner until 1949 before moving to Jaipur.
During his time in Bikaner, Dr. Gupta deepened his devotion under the guidance of Raj Jyotishi Mishra Ji at a Hanuman Temple. Later in Jaipur, he found spiritual mentorship from Hindu saint Ram Sahai Ji, further enriching his spiritual journey.
Dr. Chandra Gupta Ji, deeply influenced by the Ramayana, regarded Lord Hanuman as his spiritual guide and dedicated his life to devotion and serving society. In Jaipur, he studied homeopathy under Dr. R.P. Mathur, earning a degree and establishing a free dispensary in 1957 at Daroga Ki Haveli. Despite working at the Accountant General’s office, he devoted mornings and evenings to treating patients without charge.
Through his dispensary work, he met Shri Sagar Chand Soni, who introduced him to the teachings of Mahatma Chaturbhuj Sahai Ji and Mahatma Radha Mohan Lal Ji. Dr. Gupta became a disciple of Mahatma Radha Mohan Lal Ji, who encouraged him to conduct spiritual gatherings, guide meditation, and prepare others for their spiritual journey.
For advanced spiritual training, Mahatma Radha Mohan Lal Ji sent Dr. Gupta to Thakur Ram Singh Ji, a renowned saint in Jaipur, under whose guidance Dr. Gupta continued his spiritual practice until 1971.
Our spiritual leaders have illuminated various paths to attain the Supreme Being, emphasizing the importance of guidance from a true Guru. Following the Guru’s teachings can ease the journey, but embarking on this path often stirs deep-seated tendencies from past lifetimes, manifesting as obstacles and negativity. Overcoming these distractions requires rare courage and resolve.
The first stage involves detaching from material indulgences like wealth, luxury, and fame, which, though alluring, lack spiritual wisdom. Practicing morality and using resources wisely enables progress.
The next stage is more challenging, as attachment to one’s faith and hatred for others perpetuate the cycle of birth and death. True spiritual advancement demands overcoming these tendencies and embracing love for all faiths, a feat achievable only through the grace of a true Guru.
This mortal world is a realm of these challenges, and only those who transcend division and cultivate universal love can continue their spiritual ascent.
