Bhagat Pipa (born 1425[2]) was a Rajput ruler of Gagaraungarh who abdicated the throne to become a Hindu mystic poet and saint of the Bhakti movement.[3][4] He was born in the Malwa region of North India (east Rajasthan) in approximately AD 1425.[5]
Pipa's exact date of birth and death are unknown, but it is believed that he lived in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth century.[1][6][7] Born into a warrior class and royal family, Pipa is described as an early Shaivism (Shiva) and Sakta (Durga) follower. Thereafter, he adopted Vaishnavism as a disciple of Ramananda, and later preached Nirguni (god without attributes) beliefs of life.[8][1] Bhagat Pipa is considered one of the earliest influential sants of the Bhakti movement in 15th century northern India.[8]
