Synopsis

It's a biography of very well known saint of Maharashtra, Sant Shiromani Shri Namdev Ji Maharaj. He was born in 26 October 1270, in Maharshtra. He lived as a devotee of Lord Vitthal (Krishna) of Pandharpur. His followers in Maharashtra and northern India who are from those communities prefer to consider their place, and thus his, as Kshatriya. Namdev is generally considered by Sikhs to be a holy man (bhagat), many of whom came from lower castes and so also attracted attention as social reformers. A belief in Maharashtra is that Namdev died at the age of eighty in 1350 CE. But Sikh beliefs that his death place was the Punjabi village of Ghuman.although this is not universally accepted. 61 Abhangs (hymns) of Shri Sant Namdev are included in the Guru Granth Sahib
