GURU DHANNA BHAGAT JI

Bhagat Dhanna was a devote and Gurmukh, born in village of Dhuan Kalan in 1415, on April 20th near Deoli city, in the Tonk district, Rajasthan, present day North West India. Three Shabads of Bhagat ji's Bani are included in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib on pages (Ang) 487, 488 and 695.
Though born in a Jatt Hindu family of Dhaliwal Clan, he rejected all Hindu traditions and rituals, when he came in contact with Gurmukhs, he found God from his heart. He choose to control his desires and to have the only one desire for God. He was a farmer by profession. The 5th Nanak said Dhanna served the Lord, with the innocence of a child. He followed command of the Lord after realising the true way of the Lord.
Sikhs admire and follow the teachings of Dhanna, as in Gurmat, Kabir, Nanak, Ravidas, Bhatts all are same and all are treated as Gurus - "spiritual guides". Sikhsbow before Guru Granth Sahib which include the teaching of many who had the same thoughts and views about Waheguru. The creator himself spoke through his Bhagat's, revealing the holy Shabad.
