Sant Kabir

Sant Kabir was a 15th-century Indian poet-saint whose teachings emphasized the unity of God and the importance of love and devotion over ritualistic practices. Born to a family of weavers, Kabir challenged the orthodoxies of both Hinduism and Islam, advocating for spirituality and personal connection with the divine. His verses often reflect mystical insight and social reform, emphasizing equality and compassion. Kabir's poems are included in the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism, and continue to inspire people across various faiths, highlighting the universal quest for truth and understanding.
