Archival Overview

14th-century tailor-saint who pioneered the Varkari tradition of Maharashtra and traveled across Northern India to Punjab, whose sixty-one devotional hymns were enshrined in the Sikh sacred scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib.

Biographical Record

Sant Namdev (1270–1350) was born into a family of calico printers and tailors (Shimpi). A contemporary and close traveling companion of Sant Dnyaneshwar, Namdev spent decades traveling across India spreading the egalitarian religion of love through musical Kirtans.

Namdev resided for over two decades in the village of Ghuman in Gurdaspur, Punjab, composing devotional hymns in early Hindi and Punjabi that condemned caste pride and empty ritualism. Guru Arjan Dev incorporated sixty-one of Namdev's hymns into the Adi Granth in 1604, making him a revered figure in both Hindu and Sikh traditions.
