Beliefs
Shri Guru Ravidass Ji’s teachings represent an offshoot of the bhakti and Sant Mat movements of the fifteenth century, a religious renaissance in India.
Shri Guru Ravidass Ji taught the following principles:
- The oneness, omnipresence and omnipotence of God, who is called Hari.
- The human soul is a particle of the Divine; the different between the two is like the difference between gold and the ornament, water and the wave.
- The rejection of caste.
- To realize God, which is the ultimate end of human life, man should concentrate on Hari, giving up rituals.
- Birth in a low caste is no hindrance in the way to spiritual development.
- The only way to moksha is to free the mind from duality.
- Pilgrimage and bathing in holy lakes is in vain.
The Shri Guru Ravidass Mission London states that:
- One who preaches the Shri Guru Ravidass Ji philosophy is a Ravidasi.
- It is not a condition that one should have been born in the Ravidasi community to become or initiated as one.
- There is even a holy scripture called Guru Sikhya Sahib mainly his quotations being taken out of the Guru Granth Sahib
- To celebrate Shri Guru Ravidass Jayanti according to the Punjabi calendar, Sunday, Sukhal Falgin Parvithta.
- To meditate on ‘Sohang’ or ‘Har.’
- Whenever any Ravidassia receives, meets, writes or addresses a fellow Ravidassia, he or she should say “Jai Gurudev”.
