Saint Namdeo, also known as Namdev or Sant Namdeo, was a prominent Bhakti saint and poet-saint in India. He was born in 26 October 1270 CE in the village of Narsi Bahmani, located in the present-day state of Maharashtra. Namdeo's devotional hymns and abhangas (devotional songs) are widely revered in the Bhakti movement, a spiritual and social reform movement in India that emphasized a personal and direct connection with the divine.
Namdeo's devotion was primarily directed towards Lord Vithoba, a form of Lord Krishna. He composed numerous devotional songs and poems in praise of Vithoba and traveled extensively to spread the message of love and devotion. His works emphasize the universality of God and the importance of devotion and humility.
Saint Namdeo's life and teachings had a profound influence on the Bhakti movement in India, and his legacy continues to be celebrated in the form of devotional music and poetry. He passed away in 1350 CE, leaving behind a rich literary and spiritual heritage that continues to inspire people to this day.
