It contains translations of his bani. A contemporary of Aurangzeb Badshah, He was orginally a wealthy, Jewish merchant, who became a Sufi then a Hindu sadhu. Ultimately he broke free of the shackles of religion and became a mastana sadhu, roaming about naked having given all his wealth away to the poor and other sadhus. He was eventually imprisoned then killed by Aurangzeb possibly because of his friendship with Dara Shikoh Ji. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithar Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Thanks for this Jattboot. He had a very interesting life. Although British influenced orientalist historians for some reason describe him as a homosexual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaheediyan Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 His sexuality (apparent) is irrelevant. Once one becomes a Sadhu, one rises above wordly desires of any way, shape or form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam1825 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 To hear more on Sarmad listen to the divans of Sant Ishar Singh Ji Rara Sahib Walae, Sant Waryam Singh Ji Ratwara Sahib Walae and the 7th Gurus Jeevan int he Sooraj Parkash.
