Birth Anniversary of Guru Ravidas

Recently, birth anniversary of Guru Ravidas was observed in the country.

Ravidas Jayanti is celebrated on Magh Purnima, the full moon day in the month of Magh according to the Hindu lunar calendar.

Guru Ravidas was a 14th century saint and reformer of theBhakti movement in North India.

It is believed that he was born in Varanasi in a cobbler’s family.

He gained prominence due to his belief in one God and his unbiased religious poems.

He dedicated his whole life to the abolition of the caste system and openly despised the notion of a Brahminical society.

His devotional songs made an instant impact on the Bhakti Movement and around 41 of his poems were included in ‘Guru Granth Sahib’, the religious text of the Sikhs.
