Jat na pucho saad ki....... Saint Kabir, great writer of medieval times.

Kabir (also Kabira) (Hindi: कबीर, Punjabi: ਕਬੀਰ, Urdu: کبير‎ (1398—1448) was a mystic poet and saint of India, whose literature has greatly influenced the Bhakti movement of India.

Kabir was born in a weaver's family and later adopted by childless Muslim weavers named Niru and Nimma, who found him near Lahara Tara lake, adjacent to the holy city of Varanasi. But his birth is surrounded by legends. The most popular belief is that being the supreme power, he appeared in form of a baby. He was never "born" as such.
Kabir was a Bhakti saint, who sang the ideals of seeing all of humanity as one, his name, Kabir, is often interpreted as Guru's Grace. He kept himself away from the fundamentalism of all the religions and explained the root philosophies of spirituality.
A weaver by profession, Kabir ranks among the world's greatest poets. In India, he is perhaps the most quoted author. The Holy Guru Granth Sahib contains over 500 verses by Kabir. The Sikh community in particular and others who follow the Holy Granth, hold Kabir, a Bhagat, in high reverence.

  • Great Video !

  • So true! I can't tell you how many times people have asked me whether I am a 'Christian' or a 'Buddhist'. I just reply now that I am a 'spiritual practitioner' but this always unsettles them. I can read their energy. But it can't be helped. Was Lord Jesus a 'Christian'? Was Lord Buddha a 'Buddhist' ? I think Jiddu Krishnamurti got it right! So did Lord Kabir.

    Thanks for the voice over Raj. Hope you are well.
