Dera Sach Khand Ballan (Punjabi: ਡੇਰਾ ਸਚ ਖੰਡ ਬੱਲਾਂ (Gurmukhi); ڈیرہ پالیسیاں کان بالا(Shahmukhi)), also known as Dera Sant Sarwan Dass or Dera Ballan,[2] is a Ravidassia dera[1] based in the village of Ballan near Jalandhar, Punjab, India. It was founded by Pipal Dass soon after 1900, and it played a role in the Ad Dharm movement to popularize the image of Ravidas as a guru. It has since adopted the mission of spreading the teachings of Ravidas and advancing public education and healthcare in India.
For much of its history, Dera Ballan's teaching was based on Sikh scripture including the works of Ravidas.[3] In 2009 in Vienna, Sikh militants attacked a Dera Ballan ceremony, killing a senior official and injuring the then-Gaddi Nashin (leader). In the following year, the Dera formally established a separate religion, Ravidassia Dharm, and they introduced their new religious text, Amritbani Guru Ravidas.
In addition to its headquarters in Ballan, Dera Sach Khand manages the Shri Guru Ravidas Janam Asthan Mandir at Seer Goverdhanpur, the Sarwan Dass Charitable Hospital in Jalandhar district, and the Sarwan Dass Model School in Phagwara.
