Surdas, a 16th-century Hindu devotional poet and singer, renowned for his hymns in praise of the deity Krishna, was a devout Vaishnava follower. Despite being blind, he expressed his deep devotion through compositions that exalted Krishna. Composing primarily in the Braj language and occasionally in other medieval Hindi dialects like Awadhi, Surdas’ verses resonated with spiritual fervor.
Various theories surround Surdas, with the prevailing belief suggesting that he was blind since birth. His contemporary, Vallabha, the founder of the Pushtimarg Sampradaya, appointed eight poets, known as the “Astachap,” to propagate the glory of Krishna through music. Surdas, recognized for his exceptional devotion and poetic prowess, stood out as a prominent member of this group.
Traditionally attributed to Surdas, the book “Sur Sagar” (Sur’s Ocean) is associated with him. However, some scholars argue that many poems in the book were penned by later writers using Sur’s name. The present form of Sur Sagar predominantly features vivid descriptions of Krishna as the charming child of Gokul and Vraj, narrated from the perspective of the gopis.
