Satnami

Guru Ghasidas (18 December 1756 – 1850) was the Guru of the Satnam Dharma, a Satnami Saint and a great Scholar from Chhattisgarh in the early 19th century. It was Guru Ghasidas who started preaching in a deep forested part of Chhattisgarh.

Satnampanth, also called Satnami Samaj, Satnami movement, or Sadhanpanth, are terms used to refer to various Indian religious and sectarian movements. The Satnami movement was connected to Dalits. The first Satnami movement was established by Bir Bhan in 1657 in eastern Punjab. Another was associated with Jagjivan Das near Lucknow. Another prominent, later Satnami movement was established by Ghasi Das in 1820 in Chhattisgarh, which is known as Sadh.
