Namdhari Movement
The Namdhari Movement is a Sikh reformist movement that began in the 19th century in India. Founded by Baba Ram Singh in 1857, it aimed to promote spiritual awakening and social reform among Sikhs. The movement emphasized the importance of living a simple, honest life and rejected superstitions and rituals.
Namdharis advocate for the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib and follow a strict code of conduct. They also believe in the concept of a living Guru, which distinguishes them from mainstream Sikhism. The movement has its own distinct practices, including unique forms of worship and community service.
