[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 93364, member: 4990"] Bhagat Surdas Ji was a great poet, born in 1483 was one of the seven sons of Ravdass of Sihi village. At birth he was known as Madan Mohan. During his education, he picked up raag and had a great voice and personality. He learnt Sanskrit and Persian. Being a devotee of Krishna's bhagti, he made poems and sang them with his melodius voice. He became well known in a town called Hind Sahit. People listened with much devotion and love and he was showered with with wealth. Soon he was known as the POET. Not only was he talented, he was also very handsome. One day, while writing his poems sitting by the pond, his attention swayed by the presence of a beautiful woman washing clothes and he lost his concentration. He began to see her as "Radha" who was waiting for "Krishna". The woman approached him and asked him if he was Madan Mohan. By this Madan Mohan asked if she will come again tomorrow and she said, "yes". The next day, Madan Mohan began to express her beauty in his poetry and sang it to her. She fell in love with him and their love affair caused them to be defamed. Madan Mohan's father was very angry with him. Madan Mohan left home and went to the temple but his mind was still not at peace. He moved on and ended up in Mathra. Yet, he could not get her beauty out of his mind. One day Madan Mohan went to a temple where he saw a young married woman. Looking at her beautiful face, he could not stop admiring her. Madan Mohan followed her up to her home and waited outside her door. He knocked the door and her husband came out. Seeing him dressed in a saintly look, he invited Madan Mohan to come in. Upon knowing that she is his wife, Madan Mohan requested her to heat up two iron rods and bring them to him. He poked the hot rods into his eyes (which made him Surdas),this made the couple confused and sad. They took care of him for a month. When his eyes healed, Madan Mohan left. Singing his poems, he became even more famous and the King of Delhi summoned him to his palace. After hearing him sing, he made Surdas the leader of a clan. Jealousy amongst some individuals caused them to make a false complain against Surdas, which made the King angry. He was thrown into prison. One day Surdas asked the prison waden what his name was. He answered, "Timmer (darkness)". He contemplated on his name and composed a poem as follows: 'Timmer isn't my eyesight, my life is Timmer, the prison is Timmer and the caretaker is also Timmer.' He kept singing it all day long. The King heard the poem and became very happy. He allowed Surdas to leave prison. He left Delhi and headed towards Mathra where he started singing the praises of Lord Krishna. Surdas adopted Swami Balbhachari as his Guru. He wrote Srimad Bhagwad Gita in poetic form. Surdas wrote 75,000 verses, before he died. Surr Sagar is his greatest gift. [/QUOTE]
