However, the followers of Kabir Panth believe that Kabir Sahib descended on earth in the form of an infant on a lotus flower in a pond named Lahartara in Kashi, Uttar Pradesh.

He preached about one God and enlightened people through His couplets. His literary work was documented in book called Kabir Sagar and was also included in the holy book of Sikhisim тАЬSri Guru Granth Sahib JiтАЭ. Let us take a look at few of His teachings to mankind.
Kabir Saheb’s Teaching for Hindu-Muslim Unity
Kabir saheb strongly critiqued the practices adopted by Hindus and Muslims under the guidance of their religious preachers. Kabir Saheb mentioned through His verses that these practices are opposed to the holy scriptures and hence they are futile. While growing up, from the age of 5 years old, Kabir Saheb started pointing out wrong practices undertaken by the preachers of both Hindu and Muslim sects.

Teachings of Kabir Saheb Ji | His couplets are very straightforward and questions the validity of wrong practices undertaken by the followers of Hinduism and Islam. He questioned the practice of idol worship. He even raised objections to the namaz and roza observed by the muslim community. His literary work educated people of the fact that the way of worship opposed to the holy scriptures will not lead to happiness and salvation.
Present Worship of Hindus and Muslims is Wrong
Teachings of Kabir Saheb Ji | He used to educate people about how to attain the true Almighty and that worshipping the Hindu gods and goddesses cannot lead to salvation. He always preached that we all are children of one Supreme Almighty. We are not separate and hence we should live in harmony with each other.
For instance, take a look at this couplet
Kabir, alakh ilaahi ek hai, naam dharaya doye l
Kahe Kabir do naam sun, bharam pado mat koye ll
Kabir, Ram-Rahima ek hai, naam dharaya doye l
Kahe Kabir do naam sun, bharam pado mat koye ll
Kabir Saheb Prohibited Consumption of Meat
God Kabir strongly condemned the consumption of meat by both Hindus and Muslims. His couplets reject the customs of killing innocent animals and consuming their flesh. He taught people of that era that consuming meat is a heinous sin.
Kabir, til bhar machhli khaaye ke, koti gau de daan l
Kaashi karaunt le marey, to bhi narak nidaan ll
Kabir, gala kaati kalmaa bharey, kiya kaahe halaal l
Je ya rooh tu bhisht pathayi, to kar tadbir kabila bhai ll
Meaning: By following the practice of halal, if you are sure that the soul of this animal will definitely go to heaven then send your family over there first. Why are you sending animals to heaven??
Kabir Saheb’s Teaching for Behavior of Mankind
Kabir Saheb always propagated brotherhood and peace amongst people irrespective of their religion and caste. He opposed the practices of untouchability. He advocated that if the Almighty wanted to discriminate He would have not created everyone alike. He would have created people with those differences. If everyone looks the same from inside out then Almighty never differentiated between His children. Mankind is divided between religions due to the ulterior motives of the religious preachers. He taught people that out of rage, jealousy people end up fighting with one another which is wrong.
He educated people to refrain from any form of intoxication such as alcohol or hookah (tobacco) as their consumption is a grave sin. He preached that people should not be adapting unethical ways to acquire wealth as it will not benefit them in any form whatsoever. He also emphasized the fact that whether you have a girl child or a boy child both are Almighty’s children and should be treated equally. He strongly criticized the social evils prevalent in the society like dowry, bribery, intoxication.
Qualities of a Noble Human are Must in a Devotee
Kabir Saheb stressed on courteous behaviour, politeness, humbleness and merciful way of living. Kabir Saheb even condemned the oppression of the weak.
Kabir durbal ko na satae ja ki moti haay l
Bina jeev ke shwas se Loha bhasam ho jaaye ll
The verses of Kabir Saheb clearly point as to how one should live.
Kabir aisi Vani boliye, man ka aapa khoe |
aurunko Shital Karen, aap bhi Shital hoe ||
kabeer, aavat gaaree ek hai, ulatat hoe anek |
kahain kabeer na ulatiyo, rah ek kee ek ll ||
kabir, gaalee hee se upajain, kalah, kasht aur meech |
haar chalain so saadhu hai, laagi marai so neech ll ||
Kabir Saheb Shown Correct Way of Worship
Teachings of Kabir Saheb Ji | Kabir Saheb preached about one Supreme Almighty. He taught people that the Almighty never created different religions. Everyone is one Supreme Almighty’s children. He enlightened people that who they were worshipping as gods and messengers cannot give them more than their destiny. Those gods and messengers cannot increase their life by averting death. He was the only sage in His time to give information about the master of this world “Satan (Kaal-Brahm)“.
He enlightened people about the true meaning of salvation and that mere going to heaven doesn’t mean salvation. Because souls who go to heaven are again bound to be born on earth in various forms of life. Hence, attaining salvation is not going to heaven. Salvation means freedom from birth and death forever and all gods and messengers are themselves entangled in this cycle. So, they cannot grant salvation to anyone.
Kabir Saheb Emphasized the Importance of Having a True Guru
He emphasized the importance of having a true enlightened guru. This is because a guru is a mediator between the Almighty and the soul and will guide a soul on the true way of worship to attain Almighty Supreme. Many of His couplets sing the glory and grandeur of an enlightened guru. For instance,
Guru Gobind dono khade, kaake laagu paaye l
Balihaari guru aapna, Jin Gobind dio milaye ll
Je satguru milte nahi jaata narak dwar, narak dwar mein doot sab fir karte kheencha taan
Unte kabhu na chhutta fir firta chaaro khaan l
Kabir, saat samandar ki masi karu, likhni karun banraai,l
Dharti ka kaagaj karun guru gun likha na jaaye ll
Is Kabir a Sage?
The answers are a Yes and a No. ConfusedтАж?
Let’s first see how the Answer is a No.
Kabir Saheb is Himself the Supreme Almighty. He descended on this earth in the effulgent body of an infant in the Lahartara pond in Kashi in 1398. There was a sage named Ashtanand; a disciple of Swami Ramanand Ji who witnessed this entire divine spectacle. This day is celebrated as Kabir Prakat Diwas (Kabir Jayanti)which is going to be celebrated throughout India on June 14, 2022 Kabir Saheb was nurtured by the milk of maiden cows and He ascended back to Satlok in His physical form. There is much evidence in all holy scriptures which prove that Kabir Saheb is the Supreme Almighty.
In Holy YajurVeda in Chapter 29 Verse 25 and in various other verses, the name of Kabir Saheb is clearly mentioned as Kavir Dev along with His other names such as Aadi Purush, Param Akshar Purush are mentioned too.
Iyov 36:5 – Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in koтАЩach lev (strength of understanding).
Holy Quran Sharif Surah Furqan 25 Aayat 52 to Aayat 58, clearly indicates that one should seek guidance from an enlightened saint (Baakhabar) to attain Almighty Kabira
Holy Guru Granth Sahib page no. 721 Guru Nanak said in his sacred speech, Mehla 1, that –
Almighty Supreme Kabir Saheb comes in all the four yugas and plays the role of an enlightened sage to impart true spiritual knowledge.
Satyug mein Satsukrit kah Tera
Treta naam Munindar mera l
Dwapar mein Karunamayi kahaya
Kalyuga naam Kabir dharaya ll
So, to conclude we can say that Kabir Saheb was both an enlightened sage as well as the Supreme Almighty.
Is there an Enlightened Sage in the Present Time?
Yes, there is one enlightened sage present on earth in every millennium. Today, that sage is Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj from Barwala-Hisar, Haryana, India.

WHD was first observed on the 14th of May 2005.
WHD 2023 theme is ‘Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer.’
A study shows that hypertensive patients are more vulnerable to Covid-19.

History & Significance of World Hypertension Day
World Hypertension Day was first observed on the 14th of May 2005. Since 2006, the day has been observed on 17th May. This day came into existence to initiate the awareness of hypertension as people don’t have proper knowledge regarding this disorder. World Hypertension Day was started by the World Hypertension League (WHL).
Let's celebrate this year's World Hypertension Day by going into the refuge of our real protector who can provide the guaranteed cure for hypertensive patients. #WorldHypertensionDay2021https://t.co/NXzO2FwbUE
WHL is an umbrella to eighty-five organizations of national hypertension leagues and societies. The day commenced by increasing the awareness of hypertension. This was particularly essential because of the lack of proper knowledge among hypertensive patients.
In 2005, as the inaugural action, the theme was simply ‘Awareness of high blood pressure.’ The 2006 theme was ‘Treat to the goal’, with a focus on keeping blood pressure under control. The advised blood pressures are less than 140/90 mmHg for the hypertensive population without any other disorder. It is the same for those who don’t have hypertension. Less than 130/80 mmHg for those with chronic kidney disease or diabetes mellitus. These are the cut-off values approved by Canadian and International guidelines.
The 2007 WHD theme was ‘Healthy diet, healthy blood pressure.’ Through such particular themes, the WHL aims to raise awareness not only of hypertension but also of aspects supporting an upswing in the incidence of hypertension and on directions to suppress it. For public awareness, the theme for 2008 was ‘Measure your blood pressure at home.’ New reports confirm the accuracy, ease, and safety of blood pressure measurements using home monitors. For the five years from 2013 to 2018, ‘Know Your Numbers’ was the WHD theme to increase awareness about high blood pressure in all communities around the globe.

Initiative taken by PAHO & WHO to Prevent Hypertension
To promote awareness of hypertension, Pan American Health Organization started a free online course on accurate automated blood pressure (BP) measurement to check BP monitor accuracy in 16 languages.
To achieve the global target to reduce the prevalence of hypertension by 25% by 2025, WHO and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched the Global Hearts Initiative in 2016. With its five technical packages тАУ HEARTS (manage cardiovascular diseases), MPOWER (control tobacco), Active (increase physical activity), SHAKE (reduce salt consumption) and REPLACE (eliminate trans fat) тАУ the Initiative aims to improve heart health worldwide. The HEARTS technical package itself gives guidance on more effectively detecting and treating people with hypertension in primary health care.

What Is the Importance of International Family Day?
The success story of a well established family does not lie in the amount of money it has, rather it lies in the amount of satisfaction it has in life. And that satisfaction can only be obtained after having the correct WAY OF LIVING. Having a correct way of living is as necessary as oxygen in one’s life.
As we are witnessing, people are facing many problems in the era of pandemic. Earlier, what seemed to be happy is now gone in a flash? тАФis the case with many families today. It is because of the uncertainty of life here which arises the need to have a Spiritual Teacher or GURU to teach us the appropriateWAY OF LIVING so that we can acquire mental peace and stability inside our families. Currently, there are numerous Saints/Gurus present on this planet Earth and most of them are not connected with Almighty God Kabir and hence aren’t capable of giving you anything more than your destiny.
Who Can Help Us in Troubles?
Money is not what a family needs for survival, it’s the mental peace which is most important and it can surely be achieved by going into the refuge of a True Spiritual Master and adopting the True Method of Worship.

He is currently the only one on the planet who is guaranteeing by His method of worship that bad karmas can be erased. So it is the right for us to go and take advantage of Him. Saint Garibdasji (from Haryana) says in His sacred speech:
Uttar dakshin purab pashchim, Firda daane daane nu |
Sarb kala Satguru Saheb ki, Hari aaye Hariyane nu ||
Everyone wants peace in this world of uncertainties and it seems impossible without the refuge of Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj. So don’t be late and takeNaam Diksha (initiation) from Him to get your welfare done. For more information download Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj App.

Importance of IND 2023 during Covid-19 crisis
The Covid-19 pandemic is a stark remembrance of the vital role that nurses play in everyone’s life. Without nurses and other health workers, the world can not win the combat against outbreaks. The world can not achieve universal health coverage or Sustainable Development Goals. As we record this day, we advise all the countries to ensure:
The occupational health, safety, and protection of nurses and other health workers. Unbridled access to personal and special protective equipment should be provided so they can safely provide supervision, care, and reduce infections in health care environments.
Nurses and other healthcare workers have unhindered access to timely pay, sick leave, mental health support, and medical insurance; as well as access to the most recent guidance and knowledge required to concede to all health needs, including pandemics.
Nurses are provided with the financial support and other resources required to help concede to and prevent Covid-19 and future outbursts.
Who Can Protect Nurses, Health Workers and Patients?
Everyone including nurses, health workers, and patients are exposed to Covid-19 in some or another way. Vaccines can’t protect us completely from bad effects of getting infected. We can’t fully trust the vaccines with our life as well. Many health workers and patients have died even after taking both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. Medical science has failed to safeguard us in the time of need. Now, people are only left with the choice of ‘Spirituality’. Those who are agnostics and atheists might change their minds after seeing the miracles of Sat-bhakti. Because Sat-bhakti is the only vaccine that can safeguard us against deadly diseases.
What can Prevent our Untimely Death?
Many young adults have succumbed to Covid-19 ranging from the age of 18 to 30. Other deadly diseases like Cancer, HIV-AIDS, TB, Ebola, etc have also taken the lives of many young bloods. One must find a place where a 100тДЕ guaranteed cure for these deadly diseases is provided. A Spiritual Doctor and Tatvdarshi Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj knows the cure of everything. The Tatvdarshi Saint can destroy our sins which are the main cause of these diseases and can prevent us from untimely death by extending our life span.
What can Ensure our Guaranteed Safety?
Presently, only Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj is enlightened by the spiritual knowledge who cures all diseases. Almighty God Kabir Himself has incarnated in the guise of Saint Rampal Ji to free us from our sufferings. Taking the refuge of Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj ensures our safety. After taking initiation (Naam Diksha)and performing true worship (Sat-Bhakti) according to the holy scriptures, our safety is 100тДЕ guaranteed.

Technology for War And Unrest Or GodтАЩs Devotion For Salvation?
There is no doubt that humans have made a lot of progress in the field of science and technology. These innovations have consumed a lot of labour, money and time, or rather wasted. Needless to mention humans need nothing but two meals. The investment in time, labour and money everywhere does not yield many fruits. Ignorantly, humans made efforts in science to develop shortcuts to save time and achieve better comfort.
But the same efforts, if invested in Sat-Bhakti can result in any kind of achievement. Why do we choose nuclear weapons, war and unrest and why not GodтАЩs devotion to attain salvation? Today, the development of nuclear weapons proves that man chose war for defense as well as attack for expansion. Years after the war, laments of women and children are heard, and only the remnants of humanity are left behind.
The Greatest Power is The Supreme God, Kavir Dev
It is worth noting that we considered the greatest power to be the one having nuclear power, but that is our ignorance. Thegreatest power is the Supreme God, Kavir Dev, all other powers of this universe are incomplete. The Supreme Father possesses absolute powers. We have created problems for ourselves by not adopting true devotion and by forgetting our Supreme Father.
Today, powerful countries around the world have nuclear powers that are considered as the greatest, but have they not proved powerless to a small invisible virus? Is the virus bigger than nuclear power? Can nuclear powers cancel our subsequent births? Can they change the account of our virtuous and sin deeds? Can these powers prevent the death of a human being? Definitely not.
Jagatguru Rampal Ji Maharaj Is The Only Enlightened Sant
Why, then, should humans invest their time and labour in worldly powers? Today, the whole world needs to bow down to the supreme power who can do everything. But we have not yet recognized Him and His key messages. The absolute Supreme Reality is Kabir Saheb. All scriptures prove this very fact. Yes, He is the same God who had descended and played the role of a weaver at Kashi in Uttar Pradesh for 120 years.The ignorant people attempted to tie Him with cannon shells, but the attempts to kill God Kabir were merely foolish.
Every little bit of this universe is a slave to the Supreme God. Today, Jagatguru Rampal Ji Maharaj is the only Enlightened Sant in the world.Take Naam Diksha (Initiation) from Him without wasting even a minute to get worldly happiness and later Salvation, by clicking here to fill the initiation from.
