Shri Guru Ravidass Janam Asthan Mandir, Seer Goverdhanpur, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India[1] is the ultimate place of pilgrimage or religious headquarters for followers of the Ravidasi religion. It has become a cherished dream of devotees of Guru Ravidass from the world over to pay their obeisance at Shri Guru Ravidass Janam Asthan Mandir at Seer Goverdhanpur (Varanasi) at least once in their life.[2]

History

The foundation stone of this Mandir was laid on Monday the 14 June 1965 on Ashad Sankranti day by Sant Hari Dass, along with a large number of devotees of Dera Ballan, specially deputed by Sant Sarwan Dass for the purpose. Devotees traced the birthplace of Guru Ravidass and temple was built. It is believed that Guru Ravidass used to live and do bhakti at this place. The construction of the temple was completed in 1994. Saheb Kanshi Ram, the BSP supremo, performed the ceremonial installation of the golden dome atop the temple.[3]

Pilgrimage

It is the birthplace of Guru Ravidass. It was this city where two great saints of Bhakti Movement i.e. Satguru Kabir and Satguru Ravidass were born. The Janam Asthan Mandir of Guru Ji at Seer Goverdhanpur, Varanasi has now acquired the status of Begampura (serenity) for Guru Ji’s followers and has become an Ultimate Place of Pilgrimage for them. Every year during birth anniversary of Guru Ravidass, the Mandir attracts millions of devotees from India and abroad. Shri Guru Ravidass Janam Asthan is nearly 13 minutes drive from Sant Guru Ravidas Ghat, Varanasi.[4]

Shri Guru Ravidass Gate

K. R. Narayanan, the then-President of India, performed the opening ceremony of the huge monumental entry gate to the temple, Shri Guru Ravidass Gate on 16 July 1998.[5] So, Shri Guru Ravidass Gate at Lanka Chauraha near BHU[6] through Kanshi Ram Road leads to Shri Guru Ravidass Janam Asthan.
