Hazur Rai Saligram Bahadur, popularly known as Huzur Ji Maharaj, was born in Peepal Mandi, Agra, on 14 March 1829. He served as chief inspector of post offices in British India, and, in 1881, was Postmaster-General of the North-Western Provinces, based in Allahabad. He was the first Indian to hold the position.

He came in contact with his guru, Shiv Dayal Singh, in 1858 in Agra. He had a deep faith in his guru and became a follower of the Radha Soami spiritual movement. He served Singh for many years and, after Singh's death, he retired from his job and took up the role of guru in Agra. He died on 6 December 1898.
