कबीरदास | कबीर का जीवन-परिचय | The Life Of Sant Kabir Das

Kabir was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet and saint, whose writings, according to some scholars, influenced Hinduism's Bhakti movement. However the word "Bhakti" (with clear reference to Kirtana or chanting of names of God in devotion) has been mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita numerous times and the Bhagavad Gita predates Kabir by thousands of years. Hence it is highly doubtful that Kabir influenced the Bhakti movement in India. Kabir's verses are found in Sikhism's scripture Guru Granth SahibHis early life was in a Muslim family, but he was strongly influenced by his teacher, the Hindu bhakti leader Ramananda

Kabir is known for being critical of both Hinduism and Islam, stating that the former was misguided by the Vedas, and questioning their meaningless rites of initiation such as the sacred thread and circumcision respectively.] During his lifetime, he was threatened by both Hindus and Muslims for his views. When he died, both Hindus and Muslims he had inspired claimed him as theirs.(There was dispute whether to cremate or bury his corpse).

Kabir suggested that True God is with the person who is on the path of righteousness, considered all creatures on earth as his own self, and who is passively detached from the affairs of the world.

Kabir's legacy survives and continues through the Kabir panth ("Path of Kabir"), a religious community that recognises him as its founder and is one of the Sant Mat sects. Its members are known as Kabir panthis
