Kabir

This bhajan is sung by Kumar Gandharva (1924-1992). He was born in Karnataka, and moved to MP. Kumar Gandharva was known for his versatility and creativity. Because of illness, he was forced to stop singing for some years. This recording is from a 'nirguni' period in mid-life.

Kabir was a 15th c. weaver/ poet from just outside of Varanasi. His poems relate to life, death, and spirituality. His beliefs are described as bhakti and sufi. They represent the best of hindu and muslim faith. Sikh religion also absorbed his poetry by Guru Arjan Dev.

This bhajan tells of how the world looks like a marketplace - but how the swan flies over it all alone. The spirit's jouney is like a leaf that gets blown as it falls. The last lines emphasize the alone nature of people, because even our teachers and gurus leave us.
