Shri Santaji Jagnade Maharaj (8 December 1624–1688) was one of fourteen cymbal players employed by Shri Tukaram Maharaja, a prominent Marathi Sant.[1][clarification needed] Jagnade wrote their own Abhangs and also recorded several of Tukaram's Abhangs,[2] He belonged to the Teli caste of oil producers.[3] Jagnade was born and brought up in Sadumbare in the Maval tehsil in the Pune District. He was a Varkari, a devotee of Lord Vittala (or Vithobā), an incarnation of Lord Krishna, who in turn, is considered in Hinduism to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. A stamp commemorating Jagnade was released in February 2009 by the Indian Postal Service.[4][5]
