Chapter Overview
This chapter focuses on the life and teachings of Saint Ravidas, a 15th-century poet-saint who played a crucial role in the Bhakti movement. Born into a marginalized caste, Ravidas challenged the societal norms of his time by emphasizing the importance of inner purity over ritual practices and caste hierarchy. His simple yet powerful verses, many of which are included in the Guru Granth Sahib, advocate love, unity, and equality among all human beings. The chapter highlights his spiritual philosophy, contribution to literature, and continued relevance in contemporary social discourse.Important Keywords
