Sat Siri Akaal. Radha Swami is a sect in the Sikh tradition. People in this sect generally agree with Sikh teachings but they have a sant (whose name I do not recall). Ask your aunt if she considers Siri Guru her supreme authority or a sant, or ask her the name of the sant (I think he may also be deceased now, but I'm not sure). The Sikh Panth considers that Siri Guru Granth Sahib is the living, Shabd Guru and is the supreme authority in a Sikh's life, not a teacher or sant. So that is the difference.
