Brief History and Objectives of the FSSG and the SSG

Though legally and financially independent, the Friends of the Society of Servants of God (FSSG) is directly linked with the Society of Servants of God (SSG) in both India and the United States. The SSG was founded by God through Dr. Dinshah K. Mehta. After 17 years of inner struggle, on November 8, 1953,

Dr. Mehta finally accepted to follow what he referred to as “God Guidance.” His 17-year struggle had ensued largely because in his earlier life, Dr. Mehta was agnostic.  He therefore had a hard time believing that the revelations he was receiving were from God, and his gradual “conversion” was brought about by the teachings he received from God.

As guided by God, the Society of Servants of God was registered with the authorities in India as a charitable institution. Dr. Dinshah K. Mehta became the first chairperson. However, Dr. Mehta maintained that the SSG was founded by God, through him and that God is the Eternal Chair of His Society and referred to the spiritual source that guided him as the Guiding Mind. Dr. Mehta is referred to as Revered Dadaji by his disciples and devotees. “Dadaji” means elder brother.

The Friends of the Society of Servants of God in Canada was authorized by Dadaji to be an affiliate organization of the Society of Servants of God. The Victoria branch of the FSSG is incorporated as a non-profit society and is a registered charity.

As is the case with the Society of Servants of God, the Friends of the Society of Servants of God was founded in order to pursue The Three Missions.

All sincere seekers have always been welcomed to this Society, but those seeking self-satisfaction are discouraged.  Please keep the Self Surrender Stand in mind as you continue your journey.
