Namdev (1270�1350) was a Marathi Vaishnava saint from Narsi, Hingoli, Maharashtra, Medieval India within the Varkari tradition of Hinduism. He was as a devotee of the deity Vithoba of Pandharpur. Namdev was influenced by Vaishnavism and became widely known in India for his devotional songs set to music (bhajan-kirtans). His philosophy contains both nirguna brahman and saguna brahman elements, with monistic themes. Namadeva's legacy is remembered in modern times in the Varkari tradition, along with those of other gurus, with masses of people walking together in biannual pilgrimages to Pandharpur in Maharashtra. Namdev is also recognised in the North Indian traditions of the Dadu Panthis, Kabir Panthis and Sikhs.

Note: Namdev is also transliterated as Nam Dayv, Namdeo, Namadeva.
