episode 69: Kabir — The Man Who Tricked a Saint Into Becoming His Guru cover

Description

Kabir was a weaver in Varanasi. Illiterate. Low-caste. Muslim. He wanted to study under the great saint Ramananda. Ramananda turned him away. So before dawn one morning Kabir lay down on the ghat steps where Ramananda bathed. In the darkness Ramananda stumbled over him. What Kabir said next — and why Ramananda could not refuse — is the most audacious act of devotion in the entire Bhakti tradition. New story every day. Follow so you never miss one.
