who were kabir panthis?
Answers
Kabir is a famous writer
Answer:
Kabir Panth (Path of Kabir) is a Sant Mat philosophy based on the teachings of Kabir. It is based on devotion to him as one guru as a means to salvation. Its adherents are from many religious backgrounds as Kabir never advocated change of religions but highlighted their limitations.
Kabir Panthis can follow the ethical and social customs of the day according to tradition without hindrance. Lay persons can be cremated according to Hindu law and priests can be buried or cremated depending upon which tradition one wishes to follow . In the Caribbean and across North America, Kabir Panthis may opt for burning or burial. Modern Kabir Panthis do not seem to be different from orthodox Vaishanavites; they worship the idol of Kabir, wear sacred thread and sandalwood paste.
Kabir Panthis observe sanctity and purity in their daily lives and behavior. The foundation of their belief and practice are
- Dharma, or "the natural Law of life",
- Satya, or "The primordial and eternal truth",
- Ahimsa, or "Non-violence towards all beings through word and deed",
- Bhakti, or "Devotional love for god and a higher spiritual reality",
- Sraddha, or "Faith and unswerving loyalty",
- Asteya, or "Neither hoarding nor coveting",
- Kshama, or "Forgiveness and patience",
- Daya, or "Compassion, mercy, and conquering feelings of cruelty and insensitivity towards all beings",
- Shaucha or "Purity in body, mind and speech",
- Aparigraha, or "Limiting possessions to what is necessary and being non-materialistic",
- Anekantvada, or "Acceptance of different beliefs and the multiplicity of viewpoints",
- Vishwa Bandhutva, or "The universal brotherhood of all beings" and
- Atma Gyan or "The awareness of ones true self, which is no different from the one true reality which pervades in everyone, thus making everyone the one and only true reality".
