Sir Anand Swarup, Kt. (6 August 1881 – 24 June 1937) also known as Param Guru Huzur Sahabji Maharaj[1] was the founder of Dayalbagh. He was the fifth revered leader, or Sant Satguru, of the Dayalbagh branch of the Radha Soami faith,[2] who succeeded in 1913.[3][4] He also laid the foundation of Radhasoami Educational Institute,[5] a co-educational middle school which opened in 1917 and later expanded and developed as Dayalbagh Educational Institute[6] (Deemed University). He wrote many holy books on the Radhasoami faith, explaining the concepts of Surat Shabd Yoga and objectives of Radhasoami in general.[7][8][1]

He was knighted in the 1936 New Year Honours.[9] for founding Dayalbagh.
