CO-FOUNDER BILAL HUZUR (Steve Ingram)

About Us

Initiated in 1970 by Huzur Maharaji Charan Singh into the Radha Soami tradition, Bhagwan and Bilal began their formal teaching of the Path in 1989. Deeply concerned about the complete absence of a “true” spiritual tradition (parampara) in the Afrikan-American community, Bhagwan and Bilal founded the House of Ra.

Since that time, the fire of their passion has sparked a spiritual revolution in the hearts and minds of many people in the Afrikan-American community, as well as the community of spiritual seekers in general (domestically and abroad), regardless of race or ethnicity.

How It All Started

The House of Ra is more than a spiritual institution. It is a movement dedicated to the transcendence of ego, the pursuit of self-realization and the disciplined practice of divine consciousness.

 Founded by Bhagwan Ra Afrika and his spiritual and physical brother Bilal Huzur, the House of Ra serves as a transformative space where seekers are called to pierce through illusion, embrace radical responsibility and awaken to their highest nature.

Rooted in the synthesis of African, Eastern and esoteric wisdom traditions, the teachings of the House of Ra dismantle false narratives of ego, victimhood and attachment, guiding practitioners toward self-mastery through rigorous spiritual practice (sadhana), deep meditation (abhyasa) and the realization of the Supreme Self. It is a path for those who refuse to settle for superficial spirituality and are willing to confront their deepest conditioning to experience true liberation. With a foundation built on karma, dharma and the discipline of blamelessness the House of Ra is not for the faint-hearted. It is for those ready to stand in the fire of transformation and dissolve into the ocean of Supreme Understanding.
