Bhagat Pipa Ji was a Rajput ruler of Gagraun in Rajasthan who gave up the state and became a disciple of Ramanand. One hymn of his is in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, in Dhanasri.
Its argument is that whatever is in the universe is in the body, and that a man who searches outside will not find it. Four lines.
He was born into the Rajput ruling family of Gagraungarh, became its king, and is the only Bhagat in the volume who abdicated.
Shrines to him exist in Rajasthan and Gujarat. In Punjab he is known only through the one hymn, which is how most of the Bhagats are known here.
The single hymn is in Dhanasri and it is short. Its argument is that the body is the temple and that what is sought outside is already inside it, and it closes with the poet's name, which is the convention of the form.
The tradition attached to him is that he gave up Gagraun, went to Kashi, became a disciple of Ramanand Ji and travelled as a mendicant. The dates offered are fifteenth century and none of them is firm.
Gagraun fort still stands in Jhalawar district in Rajasthan and is on the world heritage list among the hill forts of Rajasthan. The shrine to him is at the fort. Almost no Sikh visitor goes there for that reason.
