The Damdamī Ṭaksāl, Jatha Bhindra(n), or Sampardai Bhindra(n)[1] is an orthodox Khalsa Sikh cultural and educational organization, based in India.[2] They are known for their teachings of vidya as well as gurbani santhiya. Its headquarters are located in the town of Mehta Chowk, approximately 40 km north of the city of Amritsar.[3] It has been described as a seminary or “moving university” of the Sikh countryside.[4]
The Damdami Taksal borrows many foundational aspects from the Giani Samparda (headed by the Giani family), the Girivari Samparda, the Damdami Samparda, the Namdhari Samparda and the Dera Naurangabad.
