Celebrating 646 Years of Timeless Wisdom: Kabir Jayanti 2023

On this radiant Sunday June 4, 2023 , we observe the 646th birth anniversary , Kabir Jayanti 2023,of Sant Kabir Das, a sage, poet, and social reformer whose influence extends far beyond his era. Born in the mystical city of Varanasi, Kabir Das’s profound teachings became the bedrock of the Bhakti movement in India and continue to inspire millions today.

The Historical Context: The Era of Kabir Das

Living in the 15th-16th century, Kabir Das experienced a period of spiritual and social transformation. Despite the socio-religious divide prevalent in his time, he advocated the concept of a universal God, transcending religious boundaries and inspiring spiritual awakening in an era clouded by dogma and ritualism.

Reflecting on Kabir Das's Teachings: A Journey Through His Dohas

On this significant day, let’s delve into some of Kabir Das’s enlightening dohas:

рдХрдВрдЪрди рд╕реЛрдИ рдХреНрдпрд╛ рдЬрд╛рдиреЗ, рдкреАрд░ рдкрд░рдИред рдЬреЛ рдкреАрд░рдИ рдЬрд╛рдгреИ, рдЖрдкрдирд╛ рдХреА рдЦреЛрдИред

How can those who sleep on golden beds know the pain of others? Those who understand the pain of others, have forgotten their own.

Doha by Kabir Das highlighting the transient companionship in happiness and solitude in sorrow

рдРрд╕рд╛ рдХреЛрдИ рдирд╣реАрдВ рднреИрдпрд╛, рдЬреЛ рдЪрд╛рд╣рдд рд╕реБрдЦ рдХреЛрдИред рд╕реБрдЦ рдореЗрдВ рд╕рдВрдЧреА рдирд╣реАрдВ рд╣реИ, рджреБрдГрдЦ рдореЗрдВ рдЖрдкрдиреЗ рд░реЛрдИред

There's no one in this world who doesn't desire happiness. But remember, in happiness, you have many companions; in sorrow, you weep alone.

Sant Kabir Das's Doha illustrating the importance of pure conduct and the effect it has on one's persona

рдХрд╛рдВрдЪрд╛ рдЪреЛрдЧрд╛ рд╣реЛ рддреЛ, рд░рдВрдЧ рдХреИрд╕рд╛ рд╣реЛрдпред рд╕реЗрд╡рдХ рд╕реАрд▓реА рд╣реЛ рддреЛ, рдХреИрд╕реЗ рд╣реЛрдп рдЧреЛрдпред

If a robe is made of glass, how can it be dyed? Similarly, how can one be called a servant if they lack good character?

Kabir Das's Doha expressing the futility of countless tasks and the true peace attained through devotion to the divine

рдЖрд╡рдд рдЬрд╛рд╡рдд рд╣рд░рдпрд╛рд▓реА, рдирд┐рд░рдВрддрд░ рд░рд╣рдд рд╕реБрдЦ рднрд░реАред рдХрдмреАрд░ рдХреВрдХрддреЗ рдХреЛрдЯрд┐ рдХрд╛рдо, рдПрдХ рд░рд╛рдо рдХреЗ рднрдЬрдиреЗ рдмрд┐рдиред

The greenery comes and goes, but the joy within stays forever. Kabir says there are millions of tasks, but none is as important as chanting the name of Lord Ram.

Sant Kabir Das's Doha stressing the importance of understanding one's inner self over mere outward appearances

рдХрдмреАрд░рд╛ рдХреБрдП рдХрд╛ рдкрд╛рдиреА рдкреАрдП, рдЪрд╛рд╣реЗ рдШреА рддреЗрд▓ред рдЕрдВрддрд░ рдХреА рдЬрд╛рдд рдкрдЫрд╛рдиреЗ, рдмрд╛рд╣рд░реЗ рдореБрдЭрд╕реЗ рдореЗрд▓ред

Kabir says it doesn't matter whether you drink water from a well or consume clarified butter or oil, what matters is the recognition of one's inner self and not the external facade.
