He was born in the year 1398. Training Basically, he did not take any spiritual training, but received fundamentals from his Guru named, Ramananda, in his early childhood. But it was his inner voice that helped him seek the pathway.
He used to write poetries on his own. He never went to acquire education. He was a self-made man and discovered everything on his own. It was his latent talent that made him create legendary writings. His writings changed the way Indians used to think.
His works The messages in his writings were directed towards those whom we call in modern day language as below poverty line, were then called the downtrodden, poor, miserable, desolated and deprived of basic necessities like food, shelter and clothing. Primary purpose of his legends was to “protest against social discrimination and economic exploitation”.
