Surdas Jayanti commemorates the birthday of saint Surdas who is believed to be blind. There is difference of opinion among laureates and literatures about his birth year.

This year we will observe his 475th anniversary.

His important literary works include the collection of his poetry as Sursagar, Sur-Saravali and Sahitya-Lahiri. The literary works by him helped in spreading the Bhakti movement in North India.

Some historians tell an interesting legend about him that once Surdas saw Lord Krishna in a dream and Krishna asked him to go to Vrindavan. Here he found Guru Vallabhacharya, an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna. Surdas gained knowledge of Hindu scriptures from him and since then Surdas dedicated his entire life to Krishna.
