Baba Dayal (17 May 1783 – 30 January 1855), also spelt as Baba Dyal, was a non-Khalsa, Sahajdhari Sikh reformer whose main mission was to bring Sikhs back to the Adi Granth and Simran.[2][3] He was the founder of the Nirankari sect of Sikhism.[4][3][5]

There are two Niramkari groups: Asali Nirankaris (true N's) and Nakali Niramkaris. The former group traces its origin to Baba Dayal (1783-1855) and was centered in Rawalpindi until the partition of India in 1947. The sect stresses mental worship, using a silent method of nam simaran and supporting the teachings of Guru Nanak.
