Description: (Poet)
Sarmad Kashani, also known as Sarmad, was a Persian-speaking Armenian mystic and poet who settled in the Indian subcontinent during the 17th century. His professional life was characterized by mystical poetry and philosophical writings that transcended religious boundaries. Despite his potential conversion from Judaism to Islam, Sarmad's own writings suggest a rejection of religious labels, asserting that he belonged to neither Jewish, Muslim, nor Hindu faiths. His work reflected a deep spiritual exploration and a unique perspective on religious identity.
