Bhagat Dhanna

Dhanna Bhagat, also known Dhanna Jaat, Dhanna Jatt, Dhanna Bairagi or Sant Dhanna (born 1415 ), was a mystic poet and a Vaishnav devotee whose three hymns are present in Guru Granth Sahib.

Early life
Dhanna was born in Sanatani Hindu Jat family of Dhaliwal gotra, in village Chauru of Tehsil Phagi, in the Jaipur district of Rajasthan, and was a disciple of Bhakti Saint-poet Guru Ramananda.

Divine powers
There are a number of mystical stories about the divine powers of Dhanna Bhagat. One such states that once he was ploughing his fields, a large number of Sannyasins (Hindu religious mendicants) came to him hungry and sought food. Dhanna Bhagat gave them all the seeds he had kept for sowing his fields, and ploughed the fields without sowing seeds. The fields produced no food grains, but gourds. When his jagirdir (feudal lord) came to collect the levy, Dhanna Bhagat offered two gourds. Surprised and insulted, the Jagirdar broke the gourds in anger, only to find that they were full of pearls. Hindu vaishnav saint Meera refers to this story in her poem, "sun lijo binati mori, main sharan gahi prabhu teri".
