When is Guru Ravidas Jayanti?

In India, today is a public holiday in Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab. It is celebrated throughout the month of Magh.

History and significance of Guru Ravidas Jayanti

Guru Ravidas was born in Seer Govardhanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India at the end of the 14th century. He was born into a family rarely considered unaffected.

Guru Ravidas was one of the leaders in asserting that all Indians should have human rights. He became an important figure in the Bhakti movement, teaching spiritual beliefs and striving to spread the message of equality as freedom from tribal persecution in India.

41 of his songs and poems are found in the Sikh scriptures, Guru Granth Sahib. A revered figure in Hindu spiritualism, Meera Bai regards Guru Ravidas as her spiritual guru.

The teachings of the Guru now form the basis of the Ravidassia religion. Ravidassia believed that Guru Ravidas should be considered a saint like any other guru because he lived before the first Sikh guru and his teachings were learned by Sikh gurus. In recent years this has led to conflict with Sikhs and caused Ravidassia to move away from the Sikh model.
