Guru Ravidas ,born in14th century,was dalit by birth.He started a new movement called " Ravidas Sampradaya" against Indian Caste System for those who were considered lower caste by Higher caste Hindus at that moment.
SIKHISM AND RAVIDAS SECT- SIMILARITIES
Way of following religion in Sikhs and Ravidassi is very contradicting,though both are against the caste system But some of the resemblence are:
-They speak "Jo Bole So Nirbheya", resembling with our "Jo Bole So Nihal"
-They call there holy book as "Guru Sikhya Sahib" ,and we call it "Guru Granth Sahib"
-There are many things which are same to sikhism
-Langar is also served in there bhavans
According to me,this shows they are deeply in close relationship with sikhism.Moreover,41 Hymns of Bhagat Ravidas were included in Guru Granth Sahib Ji
PARTING AWAY-
The dera sacha khand of ballan of ravidass sect had officially announced the move away step fro Sikhism.On the occasion of 633rd birthday of the bhagat Ravidas,they announced that
>They belong to different Religion "Ravidas Dharm"
>They have there seprate Holy book "Amrit Bani Guru Ravidass"
>Different Religious Symbol with hari written on it
>There salutation will be " Jai Gurudev"
>There ultimate place of pilgrimage would be " Sri Guru Ravidass Janam Asthan Mandir seer Govardhan Varanasi
Orignally,Ravidassi were from the form followers of sikhi but due to some anti sikh elements they are inching towards the so called hindutva.
Recently,they have protested against Kirpan(quiet humourous) and they have started using tilak, doing idol worship etc which are prohibited in sikhism
They had suddenly started disrespecting Guru Granth Sahib Ji by removing it from there "Bhavans".After the Vienna,Austria incident,they got into the altercation.
If sikh did not bear the weapon to protect against the islamic fundamentalists,would Bhagat jis Bani would had even existed today.
CONCLUSION-
Clearly,the failiure of SGPC to look into the matter is solely responsible for there partition.There were no steps taken to broaden the gap.As soon as the announcement was done, there was oppositions within the community also
No matter, how much hard ravidassis can try to create a gap from Sikhism , they would always remain deeply attached to Sikhism and they can never apart from us.
I personally know some of the ravidassis those who are totally against this moving away which had always promised them equality,It was the sikhism which imparted them freedom and they walked proudly as the son or daughter of GURU GOBIND SINGH JI
Recent decision of ravidassi is totally wrong ,and i know not today but after sometime they will fed up of superstitous ideology and will miss the freedom of sikh religion and they will again try to follow the sikh religion .I am waiting for that day
