One-Minute Speech for Sant Ravidas Jayanti
“Good morning to everyone present. Today, I am here to share my thoughts on a personality who illuminated the path of humanity — Guru Ravidas Ji. Born in the 14th century, he emerged as a great devotee, social reformer, and a leading figure of the Bhakti movement. Guru Ravidas Ji strongly opposed caste discrimination and promoted equality, devotion, and human dignity.
He inspired countless followers, including the famous saintess Meera Ji, and even kings sought his blessings. His teachings include the famous verse:
‘Aisa chahun raaj main, jahan mile sabko ann. Chhoto bado sab sam basai, Raidas rahe prasann.’
This reflects his vision of a society where no one goes hungry and all people, irrespective of caste or social status, live in harmony. Guru Ravidas Ji devoted his life to uplifting marginalized communities and fighting social evils like untouchability and discrimination. Today, as we celebrate his Jayanti, let us remember his ideals and draw inspiration from his life.
Thank you.”
