ETERNAL UNIVERSITY

Eternal university is established under the Himachal Pradesh Private University (Establishment & Regulation) Act 2006 & Himachal Pradesh Government Act.no. 3 of 2009, with the right to confer degree as per the UGC public notice on private Universities dated April 18, 2011.

The great visionary of 20th century (Sant Attar Singh Ji) had a vision that modern scientific education alone will not serve the humanity well, until and unless it is amalgamated with Braham Vidya (Spiritual Education). The graduates of this unique education system will not only be outstanding in academics, but also will have high moral values (i.e. they will have love for humanity, compassion for the weak and the underdog, and sense of selfless service for the community). These graduates will work towards establishing permanent peace in the world. They will act as Ambassadors of Peace wherever they live, work and raise their families.

With this vision in mind, Sant Attar Singh Ji sent his devotee; Principal Teja Singh Ji ((M.A., LL.B) abroad in 1906, to get the best possible modern education available at that time. Principal Teja Singh went abroad and first studied at Cambridge University (U.K) and then at the world famous Teachers College, Columbia University (USA) and finally went to Harvard University, Boston, USA where he completed his M.A.  degree.

On his return, Sant Attar Singh Ji gave Principal Teja Singh a “good grounding” in Braham Vidya and trained him to carry forward his mission of creating special breed of Akal Scholars with high moral values. Sant Attar Singh Ji also directed Principal Teja Singh to find a “Tapo Bhumi” in Himalayan mountains, where Rishis, Munis and saints had done Tapasya (meditation) in the past and gave him (Principal Teja Singh) the visual deion of the place, resembling “BARU SAHIB”.

On finding this place (now called Baru Sahib) Sant Teja Singh Ji established The Kalgidhar Trust in 1956 to carry out the mission of Sant Attar Singh Ji.
