There are no exact historical accounts regarding the "BIRTH" of the mystic poet Saint Kabir. Still, a few people believe that He was "BORN'' in the year 1398 A.D. in the city of (Kashi) Varanasi, India. There are many versions of legends that surround His birth. One legend says that He was born to a Brahmin widow who left Baby Kabir near the Lahartara pond since she could not support His upbringing. Another legend says that Kabir was born to a Brahmin mother before she got married and due to the fear of societal rejection she left Baby Kabir at the Lahartara pond in Varanasi.
Later, a Muslim weaver couple Neeru and Neema found Baby Kabir, brought Him home and nurtured Him.
Ideologies of God Kabir
Saint Kabir's ideologies mainly related to the segment of the society that discriminated against people on the basis of economic background and caste. He often criticized the religious preachers of both the Hindu and Muslim sect for not giving information about the True Almighty. He directly commented on the ritualistic practices guided by religious preachers in the name of God. He preached about one Almighty God, how people could attain Him and His grace. Though Saint Kabir was illiterate, His poems were quite strikingly similar to the information contained in the Holy Vedas, Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Holy Quran. He was revered and respected by people from Hindu, Muslim and Sikh communities.
Kabir Saheb —An Introduction
You must be surprised with this heading coming up once again in the middle of the article. Well, whatever you have read above is that part of the information which is commonly available in public libraries and over the internet.
You must have noticed that in the segment where the information regarding His birth is given the word "BIRTH" has been written in blocks and it is not a typo. It is done purposely. The reason for doing so is as follows:-
Kabir Saheb did not take "BIRTH" from any mother's womb. He descended on earth from His eternal abode "Satlok" for the welfare of mankind. This is one of the main reasons why there are no exact historical accounts for His birth.

Almighty never takes birth from a mother's womb and He is nurtured by maiden cow's milk. This is clearly written in Holy Rigveda Mandal 10, Sukt 4, Mantra 3. Kabir Saheb did this spectacle and it is mentioned in the literary works of Saint Garibdas ji. As a matter of fact He descends on earth in every yuga.
In His nectar speech Kabir Saheb says;
Satyug mein Satsukrit ka tera
Treta naam Muninder mera |
Dwapar mein Karunamay kahaya,
Kalyug naam Kabir dharaya ||
In the words of Kabir Saheb, He has said that He is the Supreme Almighty;
Haad chaam lahu na Mere, Koi jaane satnaam upasi |
Taaran taran abhay pad Daata, Main hoon Kabir Avinaashi ||
Great Reformer Kabir Parmeshwar Abolished Inhuman Kashi Karaunth Evil Practice
Due to widespread rumours, the people developed strong belief that dying in Kashi would yield heaven and dying at Maghar would yield space in hell followed by next birth of donkey specie. These heaven and hell birth will be irrespective of the theory of Karmas. Due to such rumours, a practice developed in which large number of old men and women start coming to Kashi to reside there in their last days of life to go to heaven.
These people used to stay with false priests of Kashi. The priests were charging huge money to take care of old people in their own houses in Kashi for living. Gradually the old aged people number grew exponentially and it became difficult for priests to manage large numbers.
The priests found an inhuman solution in terms of inventing Kashi Karaunth (kashi Karvat). Karaunth is special kind of a blade to cut humans and by the help of a rope it is adjusted by the side of a river. The priests propagated a myth in Kashi by the name of 'Kashi ka Karaunth'. It was told to old people that death caused with Karaunth bestows path directly to heaven and helps attaining God in no time.
The belief was on the name of Lord Shiva. The poor religious people believed the rumour as truth and each old aged parents desired to avail this golden opportunity and a long queue got generated. The people under the name of God were start killing by falling a Karaunth in the name of heaven. The false priests generated huge business from this evil activity. Sant Garibdas Ji has explained it as
Garib, kashi karaunt let hai, aan katave sheesh |
Ban-ban bhatka khaat hai, pavat na Jagdeesh ||
Parmeshwar Kabir Ji had exposed the Kashi Karaunth myth to the people and said that a person having good deeds can go to heaven from any place be it Kashi or Maghar. In order to prove it He went to Maghar to end His 120 year old divine act of Kaliyug to go to Satlok. He prescribed the three stages mantra Om Tat Sat from a complete saint to attain the Almighty God. The same is explained in Holy Geeta Chapter 17 Verse 23.
Sant Garibdas Ji Has said:
Garib, bina bhakti kya hot hai, bhave kashi karaunth leh |
Mite nahi mann basna, bahuvidhi bharam sandeh ||
Parmeshwar Kabir Nirvana Diwas 2024 (Maghar Leela) | Kabir Saheb Ascended to Satlok
This article is focusing upon the incident around the "DEATH" of Kabir Saheb in Maghar or His ascent back to His eternal abode Satlok. Let's dive into this and get to know the unknown part of Kabir Saheb's life on earth.
Kabir Parmeshwar 506th Emancipation Day: When Kabir Saheb was 120 years old, He decided to bid goodbye to this world from a place called Maghar, presently in Uttar Pradesh. During that time, the Hindu preachers propagated the belief that those who die in the city of Kashi go to heaven while those who die in the city of Maghar go to hell and become a donkey in the next birth. To refute this belief system, Kabir Saheb decided to go back to Satlok from the city of Maghar.
He used to live in Kashi. Kashi was under the reign of Bir Singh Baghel while Maghar was under the reign of Bijali Khan Pathan and both the kings were Kabir Saheb’s disciples. To demonstrate that place plays no role in attaining heaven, Kabir Saheb started His journey to Maghar on foot. Bir Singh Baghel came along with his army to accompany Kabir Saheb with an intention to claim His dead body for cremation as per Hindu rites. This year (2024) Parmeshwar Kabir Nirvana Diwas is on February 20.
Kabir Parmeshwar Ji's 506th Emancipation Day 2024 (Maghar Leela) | Departure of God Kabir From Maghar to Satlok
When Bijali Khan learned that Kabir Saheb is coming to Maghar to live His final few days along with Bir Singh Baghel, he made all the necessary arrangements for all of them and even he prepared his army to claim Kabir Saheb's dead body for final rites as per Islamic traditions. When everyone arrived at the city of Maghar, Kabir Saheb informed Bijali Khan that He wanted to take a bath. Bijali Khan told Kabir Saheb that water was ready.
Kabir Saheb told Bijali Khan that He wished to take a bath in flowing water. Bijali Khan informed Kabir Saheb that due to lord Shiva's curse the only river in the area called "Aami River" had dried up, so it wouldn't be possible for Him to have a bath in flowing water. Kabir Saheb asked Bijali Khan to take Him to the river. When they reached the bank of the river Aami, Kabir Saheb made a gesture as if He was calling the water and immediately water started flowing in the river. Then Kabir Saheb took a bath.
When they came back, both the kings started arguing as to who would take the dead body for final rites. Kabir Saheb got angry with this and told them that no one will fight for His dead body as they would not find one. To resolve the issue, Kabir Saheb asked for two sheets of cloth. He spread one of them on the floor and layed down on it while He used the other to cover Himself. He instructed both the kings to divide whatever they got in between these sheets into equal parts and use them for cremation as per their individual traditions.
Kabir Parmeshwar Ji's 506th Emancipation Day 2024 (Maghar Leela) | No Dead Body but Only Fragrant Flowers Found
When Kabir Saheb left this planet and ascended back to Satlok He made an ether announcement stating that He is going to Satlok which is far beyond heaven and that there is no body between those sheets. People saw a bright effulgent body of Kabir Saheb ascending into the sky. When they opened the sheet all they found was a bunch of fragrant flowers in the shape of Kabir Sahib's body. Kabir Saheb went back to Satlok along with His body.
When Kabir Saheb left this universe, everyone present there cried bitterly as if they had lost a parent. Both the kings divided those flowers and a sheet each and cremated as per their religious beliefs. Memorial tombs stand there today for both Hindus and Muslims just 100 meters away from each other.
Bir Singh Baghel took a few of those flowers to Kashi and made a tombstone for Kabir Saheb's memory in Kashi as well.
This is how Kabir Saheb left this place. He did not die as such… He simply left. This event proves that He was not a normal human being but the Supreme Almighty Himself.
