Bhoja Bhagat

[1] Bhoja or Bhojo was born in 1785[3] in Leuva Patidar[1][4] caste at village named Devkigalol near Jetpur in Saurashtra.

Although, he was an illiterate, but with blessings of his Guru in Girnar, he wrote poems and songs condemning social inequities, which became well known as Bhoja Bhagat Na Chabkha.

[2] As a poet and philosopher he also wrote Aartis, Bhajans, Dholas, Kafis, Kirtans, Mahinas and Prabhatias but is most famous for his Chabkhas.

His tender and compassionate language is visible in his verses, pada describing separation of Gopis from Krishna in Bhaktamala, Chalaiyakhyan and his bhajan of Kachabo ane Kachabi (couple of turtles).

[8][9][10] His followers visit Fatehpur today to pay their respects, where he spent major part of his life.
