Guru Ghasidas was a great social reformer and philosopher in Chhattisgarh. He was the founder of the Satnami movement in Chhattisgarh. His all philosophies and messages were dedicated to humanity and all living being. He has talked about casteless and untouchability free society where always been equality, Satya-ahinsa (truth and non-violence), freedom and brotherhood and there should be no place for discrimination in the name of pure and pollution. Today also, Guru Ghasidas's philosophy teaches the Satnamis even all humans in two sides. First, is tried to make a good person in everyday life. Second is that hit to hierarchical Brahmanic supremacy and itself keep away from Hindu god-goddess. Because, not existence of the Gods, it is only mythical story and their all characters are fictional. They can’t ever help you. It has been completed through secondary sources.
