Question Asked : UPPCS (Pre) 2002
Radha Swami Satsang was founded in 1861 by a banker Tulsiram also known as Shivdayal Sahab or Swamiji Maharaj. Seth Shiv Dayal Ji started his faith on “Satnaam” and “Anami”, but the name Radha Swami was coined by Rai Saligram. Rai Saligram used to address Naraini Devi (Wife of Shiv Dayal Ji) as “Radha Ji” and like this, the name “Radha Swami” originated. During the terminal moments of his life, as written in the book “Saar Bachan Radha Swami” Seth Shiv Dayal Ji made it very clear that he did not start the Radha Swami faith as his faith was that of “Satnaam & Anami” and said that Radha Swami faith had been started by Rai Saligram.
