Preferred term

Kabir  

Definition

  • Kabir was the preeminent figure of the sant tradition of North India, a devotional school of poet-saints who stressed such features as the formless (nirguna) quality of God and a doctrine of deliverance that attached no significance to caste or external modes of worship. There is a great deal of legendary material about him, but little is known concerning the historical facts of his life. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Kabir (ca. 1398- ca. 1448)]
