Icon of person Ramananda

Jagadguru Swami Ramananda (IAST: Rāmānanda) or Ramanandacharya was a 14th-century Vaishnava devotional poet saint, who lived in the Gangetic basin of northern India. The Hindu tradition recognizes him as the founder of the Ramanandi Sampradaya, the largest monastic Hindu renunciant community in modern times.Born in a Gaur Brahmin family, Ramananda for the most part of his life lived in the holy city of Varanasi. His date of birth is December 30 but death is uncertain, but historical evidence suggests he was one of the earliest saints and a pioneering figure of the Bhakti movement as it rapidly grew in North India, sometime between the 14th and mid-15th century during its Islamic rule period.
