Ravidas or Raidas (1267–1335[1]) was an Indian mystic poet-saint of the Bhakti movement during the 15th to 16th century CE.[2][3] Venerated as a guru (spiritual teacher) in the modern regions of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana, he was a poet, social reformer and spiritual figure.
The life details of Ravidas are uncertain and contested. Some scholars believe he was born in 1433 CE. He taught removal of social divisions of caste and gender, and promoted unity in the pursuit of personal spiritual freedom.
Ravidas's devotional verses were included in the Sikh scriptures known as Guru Granth Sahib.[3][4] The Panch Vani text of the Dadu Panthi tradition within Hinduism also includes numerous poems of Ravidas.[2] He is also the central figure within the Ravidassia religious movement.
