Bhagwan Devatma is the most worshipful Founder of the Dev Samaj Global and the Discoverer and Teacher of the Science - grounded Religion for all mankind.
He was born on 20th December 1850 at Shri Akbarpur, Distt. Kanpur. He possesses highest psychic powers called Dev Shakties, and these powers distinguish him from all mankind, these are four kinds of viz
- Complete and all-sided love for truth.
- Complete and all-sided love for goodness
- Complete and all-sided hatred for untruth
- Complete and all-sided hatred for evil.
From his very childhood, these unique and highest Dev shakties (highest spiritual powers) began to demarcate the course of his life. After completing his Civil Engineering education from Thomson Engineering College at Roorkee in 1866, at the age of 23, He came to Lahore and served in Punjab Education Department. Besides the official duties, He undertook various public activities and soon came into prominence as a Journalist of great repute and a speaker of matchless eloquence who could sway vast audiences and keep them spellbound for hours, a powerful missionary of the Brahmo Samaj, a great social reformer, political leader and a person of marvelous character. His philanthropic activities absorbed his time and attention to such an extent, that at the prime age of 32, his highly developed love for the service of others made it imperative on him to renounce his very honorable government post, and to embrace his unique Life-Vow, which when epitomized, runs thus:-
May Truth, Goodness and Beauty, My foremost aim represent;
And in the service of the world, My life be fully spent.
He took this Life-Vow on 20th December 1882. From that day up to the last day of his life on this planet, he dedicated not only his whole life but also all and everything which he owned for the best and the highest good of others. He devoted Himself wholly and exclusively in furthering the unique cause of the highest service of the world which consisted in eliminating, as far as possible, all untruth and evil in all relations of man and establishing the Kingdom of Truth and Goodness on this earth. In order to successfully achieve this unique mission, He established the unique Society of Dev Samaj and gave to the world nearly three hundred books and pamphlets, a monumental work called the Dev Shastra in four Volumes on the philosophy of Human Soul and True Dharma.
Param Pujniya Bhagwan Dev Atma, the Most Worshipful Founder of Dev Samaj established Dev Samaj (a unique religious movement) on 16th February 1887. The ideologies of Dev Samaj include the path of righteousness, code of honesty and also on maintaining strict moral standard and significant social radicalism.
