Dera Sach Khand ((パンジャーブ語:ਡੇਰਾ ਸਚ ਖੰਡ ਬੱਲਾਂ) ''Ḍērā Sac Khaḍ Balāṁ'') is a religious social organization based in the village of Ballan near Jalandhar, Punjab, India. It was founded by devotees of Guru Ravidass.〔(Preacher dies after Vienna clash )〕 Dera Sach Khand is a world-renowned religious place devoted to the cause of leading common masses to the spiritual path. The spiritual heads of the Dera have initiated millions of people and bestowed them with "Naamdaan". They have also adopted the mission of spreading the teachings and ''bani'' "sacred writings" of Guru Ravidass throughout India as well as in foreign countries. The unique contribution of the Dera is that it has built a magnificent temple at the birthplace of Guru Ravidass at Seer Goverdhanpur Varanasi U.P. Now this Janam Asthan Mandir has acquired the status of Ultimate Place of Pilgrimage for the Ravidassia community. Every year they gather in Lakhs on the occasion of Guruji's birthday. Now it is a desire of the whole Ravidassia community to bedeck this Mandir with gold so that it acquires the status which the religious headquarters of any community deserves. The Dera has also built Mandirs in the name of Guru Ravidass in other states of India such as Sirsgarh in Haryana and Katraj in Pune. The Dera has also managed to split the Ravidassia community with its disrespect and flagrant disregard of protocol of Guru Granth Sahib of the Sikhs. The Dera has built charitable hospitals and a school for providing health and education for the poor and needy. The Dera spreads the philosophy of Ravidass through the publication of various books, periodicals as well as visual media such as CD's, DVD's and tapes. The Dera encourages scholars who either carry out research on Ravidass or bring out publications on related subjects. Thus far 22 scholars have been awarded gold medals for their contribution in this area. ==Leaders and successors== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dera Sach Khand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
