Kabir is India’s greatest prophet and mystical poet, revered by Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs alike. Now for the first time his songs have been collected and presented as a year-long calendar of brilliant poems, as modern as they are profound. Kabir offers every reader a glorious challenge—to take the direct path into engoldenment, the transfiguration of our whole heart, mind, soul and body. Like a friend returning to offer us age-old wisdom, Kabir is with us again in our global dark night to help us at the deepest levels that mystical wisdom offers us. With these songs still sung in India by people from all walks of life, Kabir offers the sacred inspiration we all need to collaborate with the Divine in birthing a new world and a new humanity out of the ashes of the old.
