There is no consensus among scholars about the period in which Vemana lived. C.P. Brown, known for his research on Vemana, estimates his year of birth to be 1652 based on some of his verses. Various sources say he was born in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Vemana was from peasant community. C.P. Brown says that he belongs to Jangam section of the Lingayat sect (also known as Veerashaiva sect) who worship Shiva alone. Once they join the Jangam sect they give up their previous caste and family appellation and are usually called by the name of their sect alone.

Vemana

Vemana was the third and youngest son of Gaddam Vema, then the king of Kondaveedu in present-day Andhra Pradesh. He was named Vema after his father. But some researchers suggest that this could be wrong.
