Description:

Sant Namdev is a powerful and inspiring portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most revered saints in Indian spiritual history. Sant Namdev, regarded as the backbone of the saint family, was not only a great devotee of Lord Vithal but also a kirtankar, narrator, and creator of Abhangas in multiple languages including Marathi, Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, and Kannada. His devotion transcended regional boundaries, and his contributions to spirituality, social reform, and the fight against caste discrimination are still remembered today.

A social reformer and an advocate for equality, Namdev played a vital role in spreading the Bhagwat faith outside of Maharashtra, working alongside other great saints such as Dnyaneshwar Mauli. His tireless efforts to eradicate caste-based discrimination and his leadership in promoting equality were central to his mission.

Throughout his life, Namdev traveled extensively across India, spreading his message of devotion, love, and unity. He eventually settled in Ghuman, a town in Punjab, where he spent many years. Namdev lived to the age of 84 and passed away at the steps of a Viththal temple, just as he had wished, marking the end of a life dedicated to devotion, reform, and the betterment of society.

This novel delves into the saint's remarkable journey, highlighting his unwavering devotion to God, his efforts to bridge social divides, and his legacy as a leader and social worker.
