Uda Das
Uda Das (died 1669), also known as Uddhava Bairagi, was an early Satnami religious figure.[note 1] He was the spiritual teacher (guru) of Bir Bhan, who is credited with founding the first Satnami movement. Uda Das was the disciple of Ravidas.[1][2] As per Sadh lore, Uda Das preached in six places and established a chauki at them, including at Kasli.[2] Bir Bhan received a divine message from Uda Das and became his disciple, with Bir Bhan considering Uda to be a satguru.[3] Uda Das was executed under Aurangzeb's orders in 1669, along with two Rajput disciples.[2]
