Guru Balakdas (1801 Bhandar, Raipur district, Central Provinces - 1860 CE Aurabandha was an Untouchable leader, and son of the founder of the Chhattisgarh Satnami sect of Hinduism, Guru Ghasi Das. Guru Balakdas' activities aroused the hostility of higher-caste Hindus, and he was murdered by Rajput attackers at a rest-house in Aurabandha (near by Mungeli district of Chhattisgarh) while traveling to Raipur in 1860.
