Ravidasia religious symbols is picturised as follows:


Its explanation is as follows:

1. Centre
   Chaar Janju (four sacred threads) the Brahmin’s usually put these on according to their scriptural (manu simrati) to show their social superiority. Guru Ji demolished this fake by arguing on the basis of logic and spirituality. Guru Ji explained the four different states of time relating to four disciplines and rituals of religion ‘Dharama’.
   


2. Square (The Heavy Stone)
   Guru Ji made the heaviest stone float on the River Ganges. The logic behind this miracle is the enlightenment and overall uplift of every individual. Lack of knowledge and wisdom one sinks to depths of darkness, knowledge makes the stone and steel float.
   


3. Sunrays (Thirty four rays of Sunlight)
   We the downtrodden people ‘Dalit’ were not allowed to be educated or could afford to be educated. The master spoke and communicated in local dialect. Guru Ji established 34 words script which became ‘Gurmukhi’ script at later stage. This enabled us to enjoy and progress in understanding and communicating Guru Ji’s gospel and philosophy. Guru Ji’s name is RAVI it means sun. The universe is illuminated due to the suns otherwise it would be darkness. We are illuminated because of Guru Ji’s knowledge.
   


4. Circle
   The whole universe - the Bangle and Bowl of holy water. This circle depicts the whole universe, which is contained and run in Almighty’s order. Guru Ji produced the holy water in a round bowl, which spiritually realise Mirabai and others. The circle also represents the round golden bangle presented to Guru Ji, forbade human being be lost in the worldly and materialist wealth or miracles, but to find total belief in God.
