Dariya India (1634 - 1780) Timeline Sikh Yoga / Hindu Poems by Dariya Books - Links

Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar was born in India at a time when the power of the Muslim Mughals was declining and the British had not yet fully asserted their power over the region. It was an era of many petty rulers and warlords and general social turmoil and religious strife.

Sant Dariya emerged as a poet-saint who encouraged harmony between Hindus and Muslims. Today he is revered by Sikhs, as well as Hindus and Muslims.

He received enlightenment at the age of 20, and began to teach a path of non-violence and love for all.

As a poet, Sant Dariya composed more than 15,000 verses.

There is some disagreement about the years of his life, but many assert he lived nearly 150 years.

Poems by Dariya

• The musk is within the deer
• Who can describe the Source of the universe
• You have nothing to worry about
• Without love there can be no devotion and wisdom (from Love Chapter)
