A Bhagat is an Eastern equivalent to a Christian Saint. A Bhagat may also be a Guru in which case he would have a huge following or Sangat. A Bhagat does not usually preach to attract supporters but preach to highlight injustices in practises of the world.
In Sikhism, there are over 15 Bhagats who came before the birth of the founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak Dev Ji in 1469. The teachings of these Sikh Bhagats are given the same prominence in the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh Holy Book as the teachings of the Ten Sikh Gurus.
