Career
Kag received only a basic 5th-grade education before abandoning his schooling to tend to his family"s cattle and farm. Eventually, he became involved in a nationalist movement and evinced interest in prohibition activities after the formation of Saurashtra State, resulting in him donating his land to Vinoba Bhave’s Bhudan Movement. Kag is well known for publishing Kagvani, an eight-volume work consisting of devotional songs (episodes from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata), as well as songs based on Gandhian philosophy and the Bhoodan movement.
He also wrote eulogies for Mahatma Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave.
Kag died on February 22, 1977, at the age of 74. Despite his limited education, his poems are used in a wide range of curriculum, from elementary schools to master"s programs.
On November 25, 2004, the Department of Posts released a commemorative stamp from Ahmedabad in denominations of INR 5.0 to mark the 102nd anniversary of his birth. Every year on the anniversary of his death, five awards are given in his memory at Kagdham by Morari Bapu.
