On one occasion he and his brother started on a pilgrimage to the temple at [[Puri]], but only got as far as Sarangarh, whence they returned chanting “Satnam Satnam” .
From this time Satguru Ghasidas began to adopt the life of an ascetic, retiring all day to the forest to meditate on a rocky chhata hillock about a mile from Giroud, with dhooni of [[chandan]] wood. The two immortal trees of Aanwala and Dhanvana under which on a holy stone up side from ground it is said that he was accustomed to sit. This is a favourite place of pilgrimage of the Satnamis, and two Satnami temples have been built near it, which contain White Satguru Gaddi and Charann Khadaau (Wooden Shoes) of Chandan wood. These temples are annually and whole year, day and night visited by the All Satnami. Eventually, Satguru Ghasidas became venerated as a saintly character, and on some miracles being attributed to him, his fame rapidly spread. People began to travel from long distances to venerate him.

Satguru is living example of God He enlightens his disciple and makes Him attain god. In all the “Panthi Geets” several steps have been written in the honour of Satguru.

== The Satnam Dharm ==
According to Satguru Ghasidas, Satnam Dharma is Religion of Whole Human Community.

== The Satnam Panth ==
The Satnam Dharm is related to Satyug. Satnam Dharm is in existence from Satyug. Around 1300–1400 the successor of Satnam Dharm was King Saint Satkhojan Das Goswami (The King of Narnaul Kurukshetra).

=== Ancient history of Satnami ===
Satnāmi are lineage of King [[Parikshit]] of Great [[Kuru (kingdom)|Kuru]] Kingdom.
[[Narnaul]] Hariyana Dwaapar/[[Mahabharat]] age [[Kurukshetra]] [[Hastinapur]]. According to ancient Satnam Granths Satnami's are ancient [[Kuru (kingdom)|Kuru]].
Satnami's are long highted, fair, true charactered man. According to Shree Mad Bhagvat Geeta The King [[Parikshit]] is king for whole world. The Satnam people in Chhattishgarh migrated from narnaul hariyana has mahabharat age iron chair and other several thing present in their home in villages in Chhattisgarh. Satguru Ghasidas is immortal & successor of King [[Parikshit]]. Presently Satguru Ghasidas is king for whole world as well as for whole universe. He is responsible for Whole World.
Satguru Ghasidas is incarnation of Supreme and last God Satpurush SATNAM Goswami. Presently successor of Satguru Ghasidas in Bhandarpuri Dhaam is a very true character, Highly spiritually and Highly Knowledged man Satguru Aashkaran Das Gosain. Satguru Aashkarann Das Gosain could be consider as King For Whole World.

=== The Word Satnaam ("True" Name) ===
The word [[Satnam]] was present from Satyug. Satnam is exactly understand as the name “true”.

=== Raja Sant Satguru Balakdas Gosain===
Raja Sant Satguru Baalak Das was incarnation of Lord [[Vishnu]] (Narsingh Naath). He was a Great Yogi. He successful to spread the message of Satnam, Satnam Culture, Panthi Songs, Dance in the whole chhattisgarh.
When his mission complete by yogik power he goto cave of Lord Vishnu upside Amrit Kund.
Formerly an annual fair was held at Giroudpuri at the date of success of Satguru Ghasidas in Satnam Sadhana [[Tapasya]]. To which all people of all community went.

=== Colonel Agnue's (Administrator of Raipur) Writing ===
Once Agnue said, “The character of chhattisgarhi people seems to be better than the people of other areas of India. There are no crimes, specially murder and theft. On the whole people of Chhattisgarh are honest. People are not used to big crimes. Criminals have a habit of confessing their crimes without hesitation. People of Chhattisgarh are more inclined towards [[truth]] than people of any other area in India.”<br />
Perhaps because of this Satguru Ghasidas got inspired with Satnam.
Whenever everything went beyond people's control, they took help of ojhas, who misguided them to be superstitious. People of Chhattisgarh were quite innocent. Moreover Chhattisgarh was surrounded by hills and its natives didn't have much interaction with the rest of the world. For them every river had a soul. On the whole they didn’t even know that many diseases were spread because of polluted water. Before Satguru Ghasidas the area was an area of superstition and lawlessness and because of his efforts and those of his followers it became a ‘Rice Bowl’. All these changes were because of Satguru Ghasidas.

==== Role of Satguru Ghasidas ====
Satguru Ghasidas remains a major hero in the tradition. The Satnam Panth is said by many Satnamis to be based on these principles formulated by Satguru Ghasidas. While the idol worship was against the panth, Satnamis performed bhakti on [[Rama]] and [[Hanuman]]. Many still workship [[Rama]], [[Krishna]], and [[Hanuman]].

==== Mechanism of Satnaam ====
Satnam Panth emphasizes more on Satguru. Satguru Ghasidas is considered Adi Guru.
Satguru Ghasidas established a hereditary system for Satguru. The entire Indian Philosophy and religion accepts guruism. All the branches of Indian Philosophy Are very mysterious as according to them truth is far away from intellectualism and logic. ‘Satya’ travels from Satguru to his disciple in the world. There is one way By which truth can be attained, by having faith in Satguru. Because only Satguru can make you feel the Satnam (Supreme Being).<br />
Having faith in the Satguru is necessary for the spiritual up Gradation of a disciple. A true disciple becomes a toy in the hands of the Satguru.
This why, Satguru has been given the supreme satatus in Satnam Panth. Quite often Satguru becomes synonymous with the god or god can be achieved through Satguru.<br />
Satguru is living example of God. He enlightens his disciple and makes Him attain god. In all the “Panthi Geets” several steps have been written in the honour of Satguru. Satguru is not considered as a common man. There is no difference between Satguru and God. Satguru has been placed at par with father, mother and God. Satguru can save you from Lord Shiva’s anger but no one can save you from Satguru’s Anger.<br />
We can understand Satguru’s “Tantravad” by the tradition “Satlok”. Satlok is comparable with the Yugnaddha of Buddhist tantra. Basically Satlok Or Yugnaddha means ‘Ekya ke param siddhant mein dwait ka sanshlesham’. This theory has been elaborated in the fifth chapter of ‘yugnadhkram’. There are several moral responsibilities of a Satguru. Satguru’s office takes all the Decisions related to social boycott. Satguru defines penalty for the social outcaste, when the outcaste is re-entered in the Satnam Panth. During the nomenclature of a child, Satguru makes him wear a “Kanthi”, which is the token of child’s entry into ‘’Satnam Panth”. It is not necessary for the Satguru to be present in all the
ceremonies. These ‘Anushthans’ can be done in the meetings of the panth.<br />
Most of the Satnamis come for Satguru’s darshan at least once in a year. On that occasion a gift from the disciples is mandatory. There is no public place for the prayer for the Satnamis. There is no written scripture for them. Also, there is no pattern for prayer. When people are devoted to god, they are only Supposed to recite Satnam and ask for the grace of the God.

==== Chhattisgarh in Year 1820 ====
Satnamis were the most important community of Chhattisgarh in circa 1820. With the “Dharm Sansthapana” of Satguru Ghasidas, They worked so hard that today they acquire (Prepare) 1/4 of the agricultural land of Chhattisgarh. Around 1820, Chhattisgarh went through a revolution started by Satguru Ghasidas and its people Became aware of their rights. Before this they had tolerated immense pain and had become ultra-tolerant. Satguru Ghasidas discarded the theory of tolerance And organized people ultra–tolerant. Satguru Ghasidas discarded the theory of Tolerance and had become aware of their rights. Before this they had tolerated Immense pain and had become ultra-tolerant. Satguru Ghasidas and its people Became aware of their rights. Before this they had tolerated immense pain and had become ultra-tolerant. Satguru Ghasidas discarded the theory of tolerance And organized people against Samants. The samantwadi system was broken Into pieces and a new panth was discovered, which can be called ‘Ekeshwarwad’. So far, the illusion minded people [[hypnotized]] Satnamis, that they are bad.
Satguru Ghasidas broke this hypnotized Satnamis, that they are bad. Satguru Ghasidas broke this [[hypnotism]] and brought them upper from others. By his efforts Satnamis became very powerful among Gram Pramukhs and Samants, Satnamis Started learning everything, they became hardworking and aware of their rights.

=== The social customs of the Satnāmis ===
The Satnam people were frendly with all people and nature. Even from all living beings, Nature, rains, winds, etc. There was also a rule of the Satnamis not to accept cooked food from open market because its chance of impurity.
Satnamis celebrate the festival [[Krishna Janmashtami]] for These reasons

# [[Krishna]]'s birthday
# Birth Day of Satguru Balak Das [the incarnation of Lord Vishnu]
# As Satnami are Lineage of Lord Vishnu

when vessels of milk and [curd]s are broken over the heads of the worshippers and caught and eaten by all castes indiscriminately in token of amity. Several points in the above description point to the conclusion that the Satnami movement is in essence a social revolt for awakening of people. A large proportion of the Satnamis are owners or tenants of land. It may be noted in conclusion [[Christianity]] was accepted as part of the Satnami movement.

=== World Christianity Missions - Satnami influence on Christianity ===
'''The Donald and Mary McGavran’s greatest contribution to World Christinity Missions'''

In the late 18th century, Satguru Ghasidas came to the Satnam Panth of India,
and his new message found immediate and widespread acceptance:

# "Throw out your idols. Worship only the true God.
# Wait for the coming of a red-faced man with a big book.

Do what he tells you." So to this People, which called themselves the Satnamis, Donald and Mary McGavran went in the feet of Satguru Ghasidas. God (Satguru Ghasidas) used this experience to prepare Mc Gavran for his greatest contribution to world missions during his later years. The McGavrans believed the gospel had to be presented in the light of Satguru Ghasidas' message, since all world people accepted Satguru Ghasidas as their own Guru. So he tied the gospel message to the message of the Christianity. By blessing and order Satguru Ghasidas. The Donald and Mary McGavran’s greatest contribution to world missions during his later years was a blessing and order of Satguru Ghasidas.
he had learn the Satnami's principle, and with other missionaries translated the four Gospels of Satguru Ghasidas and the book of Acts of Christinity. McGavran noted that where the church was growing, it grew almost explosively along family lines until most of the related people had become Christians worldwide. The McGavrans dedicated it to Satguru Ghasidas. Every Church after that is powered (Siddh) by Satguru Ghasidas. The principles and law of Satguru Ghasidas also taken In the British Empire’s rules and act. So the British empire successful in the world. In one respect the British empire is Grown by Satguru Ghasidas. Rembember British were very few in number. British were very weak and get many defeat in many war. Satguru Ghasidas \ Satpurush SATNAM Prepare and call the British for world mission. British means not British people. British means British Law (Truth and management). British \ Angrej are actually belong to [[Angira Rishi]]. Modern Science age is also given by Satpurush SATNAM. Understood properly the wish and complexity of god. And walk with [[God]].
