Santh Eknnath Quotes

Santh Eknath (1533–1599) was a prominent Marathi santh, scholar and religious poet. Eknath was one of the earliest reformers of untouchability in Maharashtra, working as he was in the late Middle Ages. In times when Brahmins even avoided the shadow and the voice of an untouchable, he publicly showed courtesy toward untouchables and frequented them.Certain religious poets had dealt with the question of their own death by resorting to a “samadhi”. Here the poet took his own life by immersing himself in a body of water, such as a lake or a river. Following the example of his idol, Dnyaneshwar, Eknath embraced “jalsamadhi” (water samadhi) in the sacred Godavari river, on Krishna Shasthi day of Phalguna in the year 1599 AD.
