[Hindi] - Kabir

"कबीर या कबीर साहेब जी 15वीं सदी के भारतीय कवि और संत थे। वे हिन्दी साहित्य के भक्तिकालीन युग में परमेश्वर की भक्ति के लिए एक महान प्रवर्तक के रूप में उभरे। इनकी रचनाओं ने हिन्दी प्रदेश के भक्ति आंदोलन को गहरे स्तर तक प्रभावित किया। उनका लेखन सिक्खों के आदि ग्रंथ में भी देखने को मिलता है। वे हिन्दू धर्म व इस्लाम को न मानते हुए धर्म एक सर्वोच्च ईश्वर में विश्वास रखते थे। उन्होंने समाज में फैली कुरीतियों, कर्मकांड, अंधविश्वास की निंदा की और सामाजिक बुराइयों की कड़ी आलोचना भी। कबीर की रचनाएँ पहली बार ऑडियोबुक के रूप में आयी हैं! ज़रूर सुनें!"

The Bhakti Poet Saints

"Whilst Europe endured the Dark Ages in the 6th & 7th Centuries devotees of Shiva and Vishnu in Southern India were creating the Bhakti Movement. Some of these exponents, as in our volume, were bestowed with the title of saint but some had the additional title of sant, swami or goswami.Broadly speaking, Bhakti poetry, as in Hinduism itself, is divided into 'Nirguna', the idea that the divine is formless as exampled by Kabir and 'Saguna' which interprets the divine as having physical form as captured by Mirabai. The rapid spread, of the Bhakti movement, with its theme of love and devotion to God, proffered by these rebellious poet saints, did, over the following centuries, meld with much needed Hindu reforms and went to the heart of human existence. These 'God possessing' rather than 'God fearing' poets rejected hierarchies and intermediaries in their spiritual devotion and were critical of rules, regulations and ritual observances administered by Brahmin priests in the sacred but elitist court and temple Sanskrit. Their poems, in their local language, emphasised personal devotion as a route to salvation with kind deeds and a humble life rather than ritual mediation, stretched the fabric of society. They were all from lower castes and many were women giving the movement an egalitarian spirit that helped reinforce the message that god's love was all-encompassing for every person willing to surrender to the divine. Furthermore, their verse was accessible, simple, innovative with new poetic forms and often expressed in songs with a fierce passion and ecstasy that demonstrated the movement's focus on inner, mystical and authentic devotion and humility. Impromptu performances with provocative outbursts of singing and dancing in unconventional settings or public gatherings evolved into poetic presentations and community recitals as the rapid popularity of the movement spread. Although the language is every day and simple, many verses carry undercurrents of complex ideas, philosophical and psychological dilemmas, nuance and humour.1 - The Bhakti Poet Saints - An Introduction2 - His Ears Ringeth by Sambandar3 - Thiruppavi (An Extract) by Andal4 - Tiruvasiriyam by Nammalvar5 - Navada Bhakti in An Untainted Heart by Gangasati6 - Show Me Your Way Out by Akka Mahadevi7 - Would A Circling Surface Vulture by Akka Mahadevi8 - The True Name is Like Sandalwood by Namdev9 - Amrutanubhav (An Extract) by Dnyaneshwar10 - Vakh - If in the Flux of Time by Lal Ded11 - Vakh - They Who Have Gained Experience by Lal Ded12 - Acceptance by Janabai13 - Where Shall I Go by Ramananda14 - Vaishnav by Narsinh Mehta15 - Pointless It Is To Lament by Narsinh Mehta16 - Illusion and Reality by Kabir17 - Song 6 - The Moon by Kabir18 - I Laugh When I Hear That the Fish in the Water is Thirsty by Kabir19 - It is the Mercy of My True Guru by Kabir20 - Song 1 - Oh Servant Where Dost Thou Seek Me by Kabir21 - Song 69 - If God Be Within the Mosque by Kabir22 - The Light of the Sun by Kabir23 - You Are Me and I Am You by Ravidas24 - The Name Alone Is The Truth by Ravidas25 - How to Escape by Ravidas26 - Dhanasri Measure by Guru Nanak27 - Gauri Dipaki Measure by Guru Nanak28 - Shikshashtakam by Chaitanya29 - Mine is Gopal by Mirabai30 - Beloved Mohan by Mirabai31 - Mira is Steadfast by Mirabai32 - I Will Sing the Praises by Mirabai33 - O Deluded Ones by Mirabai34 - Enjoy the Company of True Saints by Mirabai35 - Listen by Mirabai36 - Sister Without the Lord I Cannot Carry On by Mirabai37 - Hanuman Chalisa by Tulsidas38 - To Arrange Words by Tukaram39 - The Secret of Peace by Tukaram40 - Drive Me Out of My Mind by Ramprasad Sen"

15 Minutes Of Love Poems - Volume 8

"Love. What is love?The question is asked by each of us but the answer remains elusive. Dictionaries summon up many words but none fulfill. Love itself is often ethereal, felt but only seen in a glance, a look, a fleeting touch. Part of Love’s beauty is perhaps in the fact that the question never can be adequately answered; its ephemeral, a chimera of the heart and only felt. Our own experiences are unique and personal to ourselves and of little help defining it for another.Love is perhaps best expressed through poetry. As Plato said 2500 years ago “At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet”. Writing a love poem for ones’ partner is seen as the most romantic of gestures. It opens our hearts to another's. Lovers love.Here, in this volume history’s greatest poets convey thoughts, feelings and sentiments of love to you in quick (or bite-size) conversations of verse that can slip into your day and your partner's heart."

Islamic Poetry - Volume 1 - The Mystics

"Islam is one of the world’s great religions and over the centuries one of its strongest voices. For Peace. For Tolerance. For the realisation that we are all in this World together. Whatever our individual beliefs much of its teachings are wise words for us all.As Islam moved from its Arabian heartland to a wider geographic area so its core message remained albeit adapted to different lands, to different ears. Poets were ever eager to provide an alternate way of delivering the ‘message’ in beautiful verse. Their simplicity was embracing, their ornateness a humble offering to greater forces.The poems here are both profound and wide-ranging. They give verse to thoughts that still preoccupy mankind as central to their message is love and humility. Civilisations may come and go, rise and fade, but culture and its arts linger on in oral histories and the written word.The contribution of these Mystic or Sufi poets comes in many forms. They view the world in ways that give us pause to reconsider our own. Obviously, translations come in many shades and hues and even if the translator colours the original meaning of the poem, the essential truths remain.In this volume we have gathered many of the most celebrated of these ancient and classical verses by poets of the caliber and brilliance of Rumi, Kabir, Hafiz and many others. Their wise words illuminate much of what we search for."

The Poetry of Kabir

"Kabir, meaning Great and one of the 99 names of God in Arabic, was a mystic and poet, born around 1440 in Varanasi to poor Muslim parents. Another account claims he was the child of a Brahmin widow. He himself said he was "at once the child of Allah and Ram."Kabir grew up learning his father’s craft of weaving and overcame many obstacles to become a disciple of Saint, or Swami, Ramananda, the leading pioneer of the Bhakti movement, which promoted salvation for all. Kabir did not renounce his worldly life; he married, had children, and was disdainful of professional piety, which led to his later persecution by religious authorities. His progressive philosophy spoke of social equality and his spiritual synthesis combined Hindu tenets of karma and reincarnation with Muslim beliefs of one god and no idolatry or caste system. We know that Kabir had no formal education and was almost illiterate. He expressed his poems as ‘bāņīs’ meaning utterances in Hindi. His songs and couplets were part of a strong oral tradition in the region and spread across northern India but were also written down by two of his disciples; Bhāgodās and Dharmadās. His inventive and imaginative style captured wide attention and provided a path to spiritual awakening which for Kabir was mainly the path of love and brotherhood and not to be divorced from daily life: “All our actions performed anywhere are our duties, and work is worship”, he said. His works are still revered today by Muslims, Sufis, Sikhs and Hindus and Kabir remains one of the most quoted mystic poets of all time. Kabir is thought to have lived an exceptionally long life and probably died in 1518. It is said that his Hindu followers wanted him cremated and his Muslim followers wanted his body buried and a fight therefore ensued. When they finally lifted the cloth that covered his body they found not flesh but flowers."

Songs of Kabir

"Kabir (1440 - 1518) was a mystic poet and saint of India, whose writings have greatly influenced the Bhakti movement. The name Kabir comes from Arabic Al-Kabir which means 'The Great' - the 37th Name of God in the Qur'an. Kabir was influenced by the prevailing religious mood of his times, such as old Brahmanic Hinduism, Hindu and Buddhist Tantrism, the teachings of Nath yogis and the personal devotionalism of South India mixed with the imageless God of Islam. The influence of these various doctrines is clearly evident in Kabir's verses. The basic religious principles he espoused are simple. According to Kabir, all life is an interplay of two spiritual principles. One is the personal soul (Jivatma) and the other is God (Paramatma). It is Kabir's view that salvation is the process of bringing into union these two divine principles. His poems resonate with praise for the true guru who reveals the divine through direct experience, and denounce more usual ways of attempting god-union such as chanting, austerities, etc. His verses, which being illiterate he never expressed in writing and were spoken in vernacular Hindi, often began with some strongly worded insult to get the attention of passers-by. Kabir has enjoyed a revival of popularity over the past half century as arguably the most accessible and understandable of the Indian saints. (Introduction from Wikipedia)"
