Begampura (Ravidas)

Begampura ("sorrowless city") was a spiritual concept developed by Ravidas, a radical Bhakti saint, which is narrated in one of his hymns. The concept was adopted by Sikhism. The idea was of a taxless, property-less, and casteless society in the future, where people formerly divided by caste could have the opportunity to become true friends. However, Ravidas was unable to establish it practically in the real-world, while Guru Nanak had started his own concept of it at Kartarpur.
