Description
Kabir is a well known saint in India. Born in or near Benares around 1440 of Muslim parents, he was accepted in early life as a disciple by Swami Ramananda. Ramananda had brought to Northern India the religious revival which Ramanuja, the great 12th century expositor of Vishishtadvaita Vedanta based on bhakti, had initiated in the South.
Kabir was the founder of a sampradaya (Kabir panthis) to which many northern Hindus belong. Still, his influence has been much wider: it is as a mystical poet that Kabir lives for us.
He hated religious exclusivism (I am “at once the child of Allah and of Ram”, God is “neither in Kaaba nor in Kailash”) and decried religious hypocrisy and ritualism. He was not a religious ascetic but a weaver, a simple and unlettered family man, who earned his living at the loom. He preached “the religion of love”, through which one discovers the omnipresent Reality, the “All-pervading”, “the breath of all breath”, within Whom “the worlds are being told like beads”.
His poems, written in a popular dialect of Hindi and addressed to the common people–which he probably sang to his disciples while working at his loom–are stilll very present in the India of the 21st century. The present edition, translated by Rabindranath Tagore and published for the first time in London in 1915, has become a small spiritual classic.

Holy Kashi to Vibrant Varanasi
Kashi/Banaras/Varanasi is a world of its own, a veritable mini India, unique in almost all respects. Its contradictions can be seen in its blend of spirituality and darkness, sanctity and filth, purity and deceipt, culture and grossness.
Luminous Kashi to Vibrant Varanasi presents, as no other book has done before, all these aspects of this paradoxical and fascinating city, and gives an amazing quantity of information on the city, its history, culture and people; its temples and tirthas, mathas and institutions; its scholars, some of them the best in the country; its festivals and lilas; its literature, music, painting and culture; its silk trade and crafts; and its typical inhabitants: sadhus, pandits, pandas, babus, rais, thugs and gundas. More than all, the book finds out, with the help of mythology and metaphysics, the essence of Kashi-its luminosity and its vibrancy! It finally says: walk not in the dark alleys, plunge not in the shallows, but more into the luminosity, and dive deep into the oceans of knowledge. The Kashi you find depends on how far you walk, how deep you dive!
