To read about Radha Soamis:
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radha_Soami_Satsang_Beas
I was given a 2 volume books written on Radha Soami when I was 17 and have read their thoughts and teachings. I often wonder how such people can proclaim to be "Gurus" (by promoting others to bow to him/ her)  when indeed all they use is the teachings and religious books of other religions and simply regurgitate what has already been taught by those religions.
A person cannot claim to be a "Guru" if he/ she has not produced his/ her own writings as Guru Sahibs did in producing Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Radha Soami claims on their web site:
"Baba Ji explain different bani(verses)of different masters irrespective of their caste or religion or their time or place of arrival. it may be words of JESUS CHRIST ,from QUR'AN, from ADI GRANTH or GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI or it may be of any Hindu saint . Baba Ji often take bani from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji , Kabir Sahib, Tulsi Sahib , Tulsi Daas ji, Ravi daas ji, Farid sahib, Naamdev ji, Sahajo bai, Pipa ji,Sultan bahu, Sooraas ji, Dadu Sahib, Meera Bai,Bulleh Shah, Paltu Sahib, etc.
Baba ji tells that all religions have one thing in common that is word,as jesus has said; kalma,as in kuran; shabad or naam as in adi granth or bange aasmani, ram naam,dhun as hindi saints describe. by concentrating at eye centre (third eye) and practicing word/shabad/naam and listening THE INNER SOUND during meditation and crossing different inner levels is only way to reach inner real home of god and from which our soul was sepreated billions of years ago called Satchkhand (home of truth).
Baba Ji tells that after 8.4 million species one gets this precious human life which is given to reach back real home of soul and whatever karam (deeds) we do we would get fruit according to that and doing good deeds means that we will get place in heaven or would be in better condition but without practice of naam or word there is no other way to reach back our real home".
Why this ? "Seekers are strongly advised by the master to first research other mysticteachings or yoga systems that may interest the seeker..."
