Kabir’s Poetry

Bhakti in a Contemporary Context April 3, 2022 https://bangaloreinternationalcentre.... Ajai Kumar Singh speaks about Kabir’s life and times. He talks about Kabir’s Ram or Brahman or God and of the relationship between Brahaman and Jiva or individual Soul or simply man (which includes woman). We look at his critique of hollowness of many of the religious practices of Hindus and Muslims.Kabir strongly believed in the essential oneness of Hindus and Muslims and of course the whole mankind. Kabir recommended refinement of understanding. The talk touches upon his Spirituality and Bhakti and shall try to talk about Kabir’s emphasis on purity of conduct rather than outer show. We find in Kabir internalisation of Spirituality,Religion, Bhakti, and Worship. We shall talk about his self-confidence and courage of conviction. For him love was the greatest knowledge there was to acquire and the talk shall touch upon Kabir’s timeless practical wisdom – all in a contemporary context.
