Welcome to District Grand Chapter of Bombay (DGC Bombay), the governing body for Freemasonry in western India under the Supreme Royal Arch Masons Of England

The grand principles on which Masonry is founded are brotherly love, relief and truth. The three degrees of Craft Masonry - Initiation, Passing and Raising - focus primarily on the first two, with a hint of truth in the third degree. However, it leaves the Master Mason halfway as it mentions secrets of Masonry having been lost, and ends with the hope that time and circumstances would restore the genuine. Meanwhile, the Master Mason has perforce to be content with “substituted secrets” which are imparted to him in the third degree. In this sense, the third degree of Craft Masonry is incomplete.

The third degree gives a hint of the truth aspect of Masonry in the charge after Raising, which urges man to guide his reflections “to that most interesting of all human studies, the knowledge of your self.” This very profound statement alone is a clear indication that there is a spiritual aspect to our lives, which is necessary to make our lives complete. And it is this spiritual aspect that Royal Arch Masonry helps to bring to our realization.
