Baithak Foundation believes that music exposure and education are as important as mainstream education.

Since 2016, we are working towards creating a society with equitable music access and learning opportunities for children from the most marginalised communities.

Essential Kabir

We are excited to have you join this journey of understanding Kabir. Kabir is a well-known Indian Saint and has been the guiding light of many seekers for centuries. His work has inspired change. He questions the status quo, he questions the given and he requires the seeker to leave his/her baggage. Kabir uses language that is simple and easily understandable as he speaks to Yogis and Commoners alike.

Kabir’s message is simple and yet the most demanding one.

कबीर खड़ा बाजार में, लिए लुकाठी हाथ | जो जारे घर आपनौ, चलो हमारे साथ ||

Kabir stands in the marketplace with a burning fire in his hands. Those ready to burn their homes should come and join us.

We request you to stay with each word and reflect upon it. Let the meaning seep-in.

Each module is designed to present to you the most essential words and thoughts of Kabir. Thus, there is a vast ocean of texts, commentaries, stories from oral traditions, etc., which may not find presence here. This is an invitation to continue your journey of immersion in Kabir and saint poetry.

नींद निशानी मौत की, उठ कबीरा जाग। 
Wake-up Kabir, sleep is the sign of death.

Join us at the Pune Kabir Festival.
