Kabir The Weaver Poet

Kabir was one of the greatest poets and saint of our country. His dohas  or two-line verses are read and sung even today.   Kabir was born in a Hindu family but was brought up by profession. He wove and sold cloth in the market. But he has not interested in making money. He was kind and wanted to help others.         

               Kabir was against the useless customs of society and religion. He taught bhakti or true love and devotion to God. He was against the caste system and tried to unite Hindus and Muslims.   
       When kabir died, Hindus and Muslims could not decide who should perform the last rites. It is said that when the sheet covering his body was lifted, people saw flowers instead of his body.
