The followers of this faith owe allegiance to the first three Sant Sat Gurus (SSG). However, after departure from this world of Maharaj Sahib in the year 1907 the followers of the faith divided and two rival groups came into existence. The first group was headed by Sarkar Sahib and came to be known as Dayalbagh and the other group was headed by Buaji Sahib and came to be known as Swami Bagh. Some believe that Maharaj Sahib was succeeded by Buaji Maharaj followed by Babuji Mahraj. All these first SSG have recognition of both the parties and the rift started thereafter.
