There are in fact two saints of that time sharing the same name — Bhakta Bhikhan and Bhikhan the Sufi. Bhakta Bhikhan was a devotee in the tradition of Ravidãs and Dhannã. He was born at Kakori near Lucknow in present-day Uttar Pradesh state in [[India]]. His hymns in the [[Guru Granth Sahib]] reflect his dedication to the Name of God which he describes as &quot;cure for all ills of the world.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bhagat Bhikhan was the most learnt of the learned men of the time of Emperor Akbar. For many years, he was engaged in teaching and instructing the people. He stated that this spiritual succession was from Mir Saiyid Ibrahim of Irij. He left several children who were adorned with piety, wisdom, knowledge and virtue. The hymns of Bhagat ji resemble those of [[Sheikh Farid]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * Excerpts taken from &#039;&#039;&#039;Encyclopedia of Sikhism&#039;&#039;&#039; by Harbans Singh.
