In Gujarat, there have been several great religious figures.
Sant Dadu Dayal (1554–1603), a saint-poet and a major Bhakti figure from
Ahmedabad treated equally both Rama as names of God and became popular in
Northern India. He wrote, "The illusion of Rama hath been dispelled by my
mind; since I see Thee in all."
Gujarat is also the home of Gandhi who preached the unity
between all religions and became a worldwide figure for peaceful struggle
against tyranny.
Gujarat is a part of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization. Many
Hindu religious traditions developed in Gujarat. Gujarat is the birthplace of
Lord Shiva's Avatar Lakulisa (Staff-God). He established the Pasupata Shaivite
tradition (one of the six major schools of Shaivism) in 2 A.D. or 3 A.D.
According to some traditions he was born in Kayarohana or Kayavatara in
Saurashtra while other traditions hold that it was Karavana, in the modern-day
town of Dabhoi Taluka near Barod, another that it was Ulkapuri (modern Avakhal)
and another that it was in Braoch or Bharuch. From Gujarat it spread north to
Kashmir, South to Tamil Nadu East to Nepal (where the Pashupatinath Temple stills exists
popularly.)
