Our History

Shri Guru Ravidass Ji

SHRI GURU RAVIDASS JI was born in the fifteenth century at Kanshi (Banaras) in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. His birthday comes every year at Puran Mashi in the month of Magh. His mother’s name was Mata Kalsi Ji and his father’s name was Baba Santokh Dass Ji.
Guru Ravidass Ji was born in a humble family which was considered untouchable as per the social order prevailing at that time in Hindu society. Guru Ji spearheaded the fight against man-made discrimination based on caste, colour or creed and preached the lofty ideas of socialism, secularism, equality and fraternity.
From very childhood, he was very much devoted to worship Real God. The caste Brahmans created many problems for him. Guru Ji had to appear before King Nagarmal so many times.

Dera Sach Khand Ballan

Satguru Ravidass Ji has said that there is no difference between saints and Almighty. Saints bless the astrayed people with NAM-simran. Among such saints, there was one highly spiritually enlightened saint named “Shri 108 Sant Pipal Dass Ji Maharaj”. He was born in village Gill Patti in Bathinda district. His grandfather had decided to settle permanently at Gill Patti after shifting from Kuttiwala and Joganand villages. Sant Pipal Dass Ji’s earlier name was Shri Harnam Dass Ji. The parents of Sant Pipal Dass Ji were religious minded and Shri Pipal Dass Ji used to chant NAM of God under peepal tree sitting in solitude. The villagers had deep regard for him. He took up farming of his land. He received education in Gurmukhi. He was a very good scholar of Punjabi and Amrit Bani. He used to read the books which contained apathetic and renunciatory themes. He was very fond of tree planting. The beri tree planted by him still exists in the village Gill Patti. He was married to Bibi Shobhawanti who was a religious minded lady. He was blessed with NAM by Sant Mohan Dass Ji. They had two sons. The eldest son was Shri Sewa Dass Ji and younger was Sarwan Dass Ji. Sarwan Dass was five year old when his mother Bibi Shobhawanti died. Sant Pipal Dass Ji was very sad. After some time he left Gill Patti village assigning the duty of farming to his eldest son Sewa Dass Ji.By travelling though various towns and villages, Sant Pipal Dass Ji ultimately, reached village Bal. However, he decided to settle at village Ballan in Jalandhar district. The scenic beauty and natural surroundings and dake trees of village Bal tempted Sant Pipal Dass Ji.

Shri 108 Sant Baba Pipal Dass Ji

The first spiritual Master of Dera Shri 108 Sant Sarwan Dass Sachkhand Ballan was Shri 108 Sant Baba Pipal Dass Ji, A great Saint Pipal Dass ji, along with his five year old son Sarwan Dass came to village Ballan, District Jalandhar, from Gill Patti, Bhatinda. The picturesque surroundings of the village tempted the saint to make this area, the sphere of his activities. He established a Dera there. After Sant Pipal Dass left for his heavenly abode in 1928, his son Sant Sarwan Dass ji was installed Gaddi-Nashin of the temporal seat of the Dera .Baba Ji given messages to the followers to renounce illiteracy and ignorance and work hard in order to ameliorate their social and economic conditions.

Shri 108 Sant Sarwan Dass Ji

Sant Sarwan Dass Ji was born on 15th February 1895 in the family of Baba Pipal Dass Ji and Mata Sobha wanti Ji at Gill Patti Bhatinda. After the joti jot smaye of Baba Pipal Dass Ji, Sant Sarwan Dass Ji took over the Dera. He held the sangat in high esteem. He himself was a highly disciplined saint. Since the days of Baba Pipal Dass Ji, he used to come out of the village to a distant quiet place and meditated there for most of times. He attained divine enlightenment. He had padam (flower type of symbol) in his right foot. It signified his predetermined divinity. He built a Kutia of mud and sarkanda on one kanal land donated by One Shri Hazara Singh of village Bal. At this place an elegant mandir stands erected .

Shri 108 Sant Niranjan Dass Ji

Sant Niranjan Dass Ji became gaddinasheen of the Dera on 25-7-1994. He is a visionary, a thinker, steadfast in his convictions, divinely emancipated, perfect in simplicity, suave, accessible and truly a saint of the common man. His heart beats and soul vibrates with the sangat. He is dynamic in approach. He embodies the rich legacy of Baba Pipal Dass Ji, Swami Sarwan Dass Ji, Sant Hari Dass Ji, Sant Garib Dass Ji and his former Wazir Qaum de Amar Shaheed Sant Rama Nand Ji. Whosoever bows at his feet with purity of mind, he feels himself exalted.

Shri 108 Sant Ramanand Ji

Amar Shaheed Sant Rama Nand Ji was a unique person of Ravidassia community. His thoughts were unique, his actions were unique and his shahadat was unique. So far there is none in the history who has spread Guru Ravidass Mission to the extent he has done. He was crusader in taking Guru Ravidass Mission to new heights. He traveled extensively in all major countries of the world with Sant Garib Dass Ji and Sant Niranjan Dass Ji. He recited hoarse the bani and teachings of Guru Ravidass Ji.  As if he had magic powers.

Udasis of Guru Ravidass Maharaj Ji

Guru Ravidass Ji was an institution in him- self. He wanted to make amends in the social and religious system. He set out for spreading his teachings to far off places. Guru Ji travelled to distant places to spread his message. Due to discrimination the spots built in his memory have been destroyed. Today there is no remnant showing his visit to any distant place. He not only wrote amritbani but also travelled all corners of the countries, as below, to make common man understand his philosophy of re- moving caste system, discrimination, ignorance, illiteracy, poverty, illusion.

Kashipur to Gorakhpur, Partapgarh, Shahjahanpur. Then he proceeded up to Himachal mountains. All the devotees accom- panying him were asked to go back to their places. He directed that henceforth his son would initiate the disciples and that he would come back after a long time.

Guru Ji was instrumental in bringing about many revolutionary reforms in society. The age old unhealthy rituals and traditions were aban- doned. Large number of sinful bodies were blessed who started their fresh pious lives. When they were shown the right path even the religious hard core fanatics repented and begged apol- ogy. Many patients struggling for life and death were cured. Whosoever came to his shelter, all were emancipated and they became pious.

Satguru Ravidass Ji travelled to Arabs coun- tries also. He held dialogues with chiefs of vari- ous religions and innumerable persons were blessed with the powers he had. We find men- tion of various places in Guru Ji’s bani. In shabad ‘Begumpura sehar ko naon’ there is mention of Abadaan . As per mahan kosh of Bhai Kahan Singh it is a famous place in Iran. It indicates that Guru Ji visited Arab country also. He vis- ited Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arab, Madina and Mecca and Afghanistan. In his journey to all these places large number of muslims became his disciples.

Some monuments might have been erected in Guru Ji’s memory by his followers in these countries. But these could not have been main- tained.
