Chandidas (চণ্ডীদাস) was a medieval Bengali poet and lyricist, known for his devotional and love poems dedicated to the Hindu deity Radha-Krishna. He is considered one of the pioneers of Bengali Vaishnavism and Bhakti poetry. His works emphasize divine love and human emotions, blending spirituality with earthly affection.
There may be multiple poets named Chandidas, with the most famous one believed to have lived in the 14th or 15th century. His poems were deeply influential in shaping later Bengali literature and devotional traditions. A famous saying attributed to him is: "সবার উপরে মানুষ সত্য তাহার উপরে নাই" (Above all is humanity, nothing surpasses it).
