Shri Guru Ravi Dass Ji was born in the fifteenth Century at
Kanshi (Goverthan Puri) U.P. State in India. His birthday is celebrated on the
Puran Mashi of the month Magh. His mother's name was Mata Kalsi Ji and his
father's name was Baba Santokh Dass Ji, who was employed as a Sarpanch in the
Kingdom of Raja Nagar Mal. Guru Sahib Ji came to this earth at a time when
social and religious patterns of society were very distressing. He spear headed
the fight against man made discriminations based on caste, colour and creed. He
preached the lofty ideas of Socialism, Secularism, Equality and Fraternity.
From early childhood he was very much devoted to worshipping
the real God. The high caste Brahmans created so many problems for him and
tried their best to restrict Guru Ji.Because of this Guru Ji had to appear
before the King of Nagar Mal many times. In the end the King was persuaded and
became a follower of Guru Ravi Dass Ji. Guru Ravi Dass Ji taught the lessons of
Universal Brotherhood and tolerance. He also taught the message of love your
neighbour which has got more importance in today's world.
The idea behind celebrating the Birth Anniversary of Shri
Guru Ravi Ji is to bring his message to the heart of the people so as to enrich
their lives and make the world a Real HEAVEN.
