About Us

Shri Guru Ravidass Sangat was established in 1983. It is a registered charity based in the heart of Luton. At the heart of this initiative was to focus on the promotion of the teaching of Shri Guru Ravidass Ji and serve the Ravidassia Community of Luton and surrounding area. Moreover underlying this it is to preserve the, understanding and practicing the message of the Gurus through Naam Japna (devotion and mediation), Kirit Kamai (honest earnings) and wand chakna (sharing with others) through the institution of a Guru Ghar. Focusing on the promotion of the teaching of Shri Guru Ravidass Ji.

Our origins are faith based and whilst we still maintain this we understand that we have a strong reach into our local community and our centrally located resource is greatly underused. We have learnt a lot from similar such establishments including Churches, other faith groups and community organisations and how they have adapted their approach to tackle community needs and adapted our approach according to local needs. With this in mind we have set up services to improve the quality of life of local; disadvantaged communities. Each of our programmes aims to support disadvantaged and marginalised communities and advance the Ravidassia principles of equality, social welfare and worship through; 

(a) the provision of learning, recreational and leisure services provided in the interest of social welfare 

(b) provide activities which support members to improve their skills 

(c) tackle the disproportionate social and economic exclusion experienced by members

(d) community cohesion
