He totally changed the infrastructure of the organization and implemented his own set of rules. He centralized the appointment of Satsang leader, fixed an age limit of 25 for initiation seekers, revamped printed initiation instructions, and started traveling all over the world to spread the organization.

Summary
Baba Gurinder Singh was born on August 1, 1954. He lived in a traditional home in Punjab. Gurinder became a teacher at the Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB). After working and living in Spain for awhile, Gurinder returned to India when his uncle passed away in 1990. His uncle, Maharaj Charan Singh, died and he named Baba Gurinder Singh as his successor. Master Gurinder Singh has helped bring the organization to the entire world. The credit for the smooth operations of the movement in the United States goes entirely to Gurinder Singh who has improved the infrastructure of the Radhasoami organization. He was responsible for fixing an age limit of 25 for initiation seekers. He has revamped the printed initiation instructions. He overlooks the editing of local newsletters and building of new Radhasoami centers across the globe. Each year he travels extensively to countries outside India, to spread the message of the Radhasoami movement. This has probably resulted in making the Radhasoami Satsang Beas as being the most organized andpopular Radhasoami groups of all.
