Visoba Khechara
Visoba Khechara (unknown - 1309 CE), spelled also as Visoba Khechar or Visoba Khecar, was the yogi-guru of the Varkari poet-saint Namdev (c.1270-1350) of Maharashtra, India.〔Schomer p. 225-6〕 Visoba was a disciple of the Varkari poet-saint Jñāneśvar (c. 1275-1296). He had linkages with the Varkari tradition as well as the Nath tradition of Maharashtra. He preached the omnipresence of God and thus denounced idol-worship. Though a staunch Shaiva, Visoba has composed verses in praise of the god Vithoba, the patron deity of the Varkari faith. He has also composed a manuscript called the ''Sansthal''.
==Etymology==
The name ''Visoba'' is derived from the word ''viṣṇein'', which means to relax and relates to the meeting of Visoba with Namdev. The latter part of the name ''Khechara'' (lit. "one who is moving in air") relates him being a Siddha, a Tantric master possessing magical powers and his linkage to the Nath tradition of Maharashtra.〔 Another theory relates his name ''khechara'', literally meaning a mule in Marathi,〔http://books.google.co.in/books?id=R1cOAAAAIAAJ&q=khechar+mule&dq=khechar+mule&client=firefox-a&pgis=1〕 as the name Dnyaneshwar and Muktai called him in contempt, when Visoba refused to believe in their powers.〔Ranade p. 189〕
