On 11th June 2025, Sant Kabirdas Jayanti, also known as Kabir Prakat Diwas, is being observed, marking the 648th birth anniversary of the 15th-century poet-saint and social reformer.

  • Sant Kabir Das is celebrated for his deep spiritual insights, powerful poetry, and fearless critique of religious dogma, which left a lasting impact on Indian society.
  • His poetic works—mainly in the form of bhajans and dohas—advocated for religious harmony, social equality, and personal devotion over ritualistic practice.
  • Major works attributed to Kabir include Bijak, Sakhi Granth, Kabir Granthavali, and Anurag Sagar, which continue to influence spiritual thought in India.
  • A significant portion of Kabir’s verses were compiled by Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Sikh Guru, and enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib.
  • Kabir is believed to have been born in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, with traditions suggesting he was raised by a Muslim weaver, embodying India’s syncretic spiritual heritage.
  • Kabir Ke Dohe, his succinct two-line couplets, remain deeply popular for their simple language and profound philosophical truths.
