sant Pipa, born in Malwa region of north India (east Rajasthan), was a Rajput king of Gagaraungarh, who abdicated and turned into a sant and Hindu mystic poet of the Bhakti movement.[5][6]

Pipa's year of birth or death is unknown, but he is traditionally believed to have lived in late 14th and died in early 15th century.[2][1][7] Born in a warrior class and royal family, Pipa is described as an early Shaivism (Shiva) and Sakta (Durga) follower, thereafter adopted Vaishnavism with strong monist emphasis as a disciple of Ramananda, and later preached Nirguni (god without attributes) beliefs of life.[4][2] Bhagat Pipa is considered one of the earliest influential sants of the Bhakti movement in 15th century north India.[4]

His devotional hymns are incorporated in Guru Granth Sahib, a Sikhism scripture.[8][9]

Pipa is also known as Raja Pipaji or Rao Pipa or Sardar Pipa or Sant Pipaji or Pipa Bairagi or Pipanand Acharya.
