Bhagat Parmanand

Bhagat Parmanand is one of the bhagats of the Guru Granth Sahib, represented by a single hymn — the saints’ scripture’s evidence of a seeker whose life otherwise lives only in tradition.

Life

Traditions place him in the 15th century (a Maharashtrian? — North Indian? — origins debated; some accounts link him to the Pandharpur? — to North Indian Vaishnava circles, others southward). His Granth hymn — on the Lord who dwells where devotion ripens — is his preserved voice.

Teachings/Works

The hymn’s theme — the Name as the feast that ends all hunger — is his philosophy in brief.

Legacy

Sikhs recite him among the bhagats; his case shows how the Granth gathered India’s sant tradition across regions and sects.
