24 LIFE OF SANT NAMDEV MAHARAJ

Sant Namdev (Namdeo, c. 1270-1350 CE) was a precursor of bhakti reformers like Kabir, Ekanath, Tukaram and others. An ardent devotee of Vitthal (also called Vithoba or Panduranga), a form of Vishnu or Sri Krishna, he helped in the growth and development of the Varkari sect, and created a culture of devotion in western India and in Punjab where he spent the latter part of his life.
