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.

Satlok

Satlok is the Top Most Heaven. Satlok is a true thing. Many Knowledge and text about Satnam and many hills and forest come from Satlok. Satguru Satpurush SATNAM Gosain shows many people Satlok. 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’.

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.

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
Truth
Truth has a variety of meanings, such as the state of being in accord with fact or reality. It can also mean having fidelity to an original or to a standard or ideal. In a common usage, it also means constancy or sincerity in action or character...

 than people of any other area in India.”

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

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
