This article focuses on South Asian-Americans in the Diaspora and deals with the Radhasoami movement in transnational space. The focus is on issues pertaining to religion, identity and the “otherness” of South Asian-Americans who adhere to the Radhasoami faith. In the following, I consider several aspects of the globalization of the Radhasoami movement in North America and its complex links with the homeland in South Asia. Some of the questions that I seek to answer are: How do the diasporic conditions transnationalize? Is anything lost or gained in this cultural mobility? Does the new ritual space and practice provide an alternate “modernity” to that shaped by the West? How does this contribute to the building of new structures and spaces of thinking, being and believing? Does the “otherness” of the Radhasoami community lead to isolation and marginalization or does it contribute to the integration in the new home country?
