Kabir, the
15th-century weaver-poet of Varanasi, is still one of the most
revered and popular saint-singers of North India. He belonged to a
family of Muslim julahas (weavers of low caste status), is
considered a disciple of the Hindu guru Ramanand, and often sang of
inner experience using language of the subtle yogic body. In
a blunt and uncompromising style, he exhorted his listeners to shed
their delusions, pretensions, and orthodoxies in favor of a direct
confrontation with the truth. Kabir was an oral poet whose
works were written down by others. His oral traditions have
flourished for more than 500 years, producing a rich array of
musical forms, folk and classical, in countless local dialects and
regional styles.
