Dadu Jodh

Dadu Jodh was a 17th-century Rajasthani saint and poet, considered a disciple of the renowned saint Dadu Dayal. While information specifically dedicated solely to Dadu Jodh is relatively sparse compared to his guru, he is recognized within the Dadu Panth (the Dadu tradition) for his devotional poetry and contributions to the philosophical understanding and propagation of Dadu Dayal's teachings.

Dadu Jodh's works, like those of other Dadu Panthi saints, are characterized by a focus on devotion to the divine, the rejection of ritualism and caste-based discrimination, and an emphasis on the unity of all beings. His poetry is typically written in the local dialects of Rajasthan and is aimed at conveying complex spiritual ideas in a simple and accessible manner to the common people. He used imagery and metaphors drawn from everyday life to illustrate profound truths.

While specific details regarding his life and specific compositions are often intertwined with the broader history of the Dadu Panth, Dadu Jodh holds a respected position within the tradition as a significant figure who helped to disseminate and perpetuate the message of Dadu Dayal. The exact dates of his birth and death are not precisely known. Scholarly research on the Dadu Panth often includes analysis and discussion of the contributions made by Dadu Jodh and other key disciples.
