Satnampanth, also called Satnami Samaj or Satnami movement, is a religious sect founded by Ghasidas in the 1820s in present-day Chhattisgarh.
History
The sect was founded by Guru Ghasidas in the 1820s in present-day Chhattisgarh. According to M. A. Sherring, he may have been influenced by the teachings of Ravidas, a disciple of Ramananda. Others believe he was inspired by Kabir, through the Kabirpanthis in Chhattisgarh.[1]
