A version of the holy book granth containing 240 hymns of Guru Ravidass ji was installed at the Guru Ravidass temple in Jalandhar Punjab on 1 February 2012 on the occasion of birth anniversary of Guru Ravidass. The Dera Sach Khand Ballan religious community had announced the formation of the new Ravidassia religion and separation from Sikhism at Varanasi. The split from Sikhism was triggered after the killing of its deputy head Sant Ramanand Dass in May 2009 at a temple in Vienna by some Sikh radicals.
President of newly-formed Begumpura Lok Party and a supporter of the new religion, Satish Bharti, said that the copies of the new granth were put on display during the religious processions in order to assert that the community members are firm believers of the new religion.
