Guru Sikhya Sahib

Guru Sikhya Sahib

The Guru Sikhya Sahib (Panjabi: ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਿੱਖੀਆ ਸਾਹਿਬ ), often given the honorific title "Shri" is the holy scripture of the Ravidasi faith alongside the Ravidasdeep.

It is essentially the Guru Granth Sahib in that its contains the same text, but Ravidasis and Balmikis differ from Sikhs in that it is not considered the embodiment of the last Satguru, as Ravidas and Valmiki are assigned that position.

It contains the gospels of Ravidas and of many other contemporaries and disciples, who preached for the emancipation of Untouchables. It contains passages from the Ravidasdeep.
