Ravidassia Religion - Beliefs

Beliefs

Ravidass' teachings represent an offshoot of the bhakti movement of the fifteenth century, a religious renaissance in India. Ravidass taught the following principles:

  • The oneness, omnipresence and omnipotence of God, who is called Har, Hari, and Rama
  • The human soul is a particle of the Divine; the difference between the two being like the difference between gold and the bangle, water and the wave.
  • The rejection of caste.
  • To realize God, which is the goal of human life, man should concentrate on Har, giving up rituals.
  • The only way to liberation (moksha) is to free the mind from duality.
