Book excerpt: Kabir was an extraordinary oral poet whose works have been sung and recited by millions throughout North India for half a millennium. He may have been illiterate and he preached an abrasive, sometimes shocking, always uncompromising message that exhorted his audience to shed their delusions, pretentions, and empty orthodoxies in favor of an intense, direct, and personal confrontation with the truth. Thousands of poems are popularly attributed to Kabir, but only a few written collections have survived over the centuries. The Bijak is one of the most important, and is the sacred book of those who follow Kabir.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bijak of Kabir: Translated Into English While in 1910 my Hindi d104 was passing through the Press, I was engaged in putting the same into English, and the Reverend B. H. P. Fisher very kindly helped in revising and correcting the same and a few pages also passed through the Press. But for various reasons the printing of the translation had to be abandoned. For about five years the translation remained in suspense. During this period fresh light was 1thrown upon the text of the Bijak, and it was strongly felt necessary that a fresh translation should be made. Early in 1916 I started the translation and finished it by the end of February 1916. This time I asked the Reverend E. W. Ormerod, of the Cawnpore Brotherhood, to revise and correct my translation. To this request of mine he readily responded and spent many weary hours daily with me in correcting the translation. I am indebted to him for having made the translation intelligible for English readers to which I can make no pretension. But in no way should he be held responsible if the rendering into English does not agree with the original. I trust he will permit me to avail myself of this opportunity of tendering my warmest acknowledgement of his invaluable labours.

Book excerpt: The Bijak of Kabir is written mostly in the Hindi of the Mirzapuri dialect, though some of the hymns show traces also of the Gorakhpuri dialect, which is due, perhaps, to the fact tliat Kabir spent his last days in Maghdr in the Gorakh-pur district. I have seen several manuscripts of the Bijak, all written in the Kaithi character with the words not separated. Amon" these manuscripts, some were quite complete, agreeing with the arrangement of the Raja of Rewah DEGREESs edition, but without any commentary; some had only a portion of the Bi

Download or read book The Bijak of Kabir written by Linda Hess and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kabir was an extraordinary poet whose works have been sung and recited by millions throughout North India for half a millennium. He was perhaps illiterate (I don't touch ink or paper, this hand never grasped a pen), and he preached an abrasive, sometimes shocking, always uncompromising message exhorting his audience to shed their delusions, pretensions and empty orthodoxies in favour of an intense, direct personal confrontation with the truth. Thousands of poems are popularly attributed to Kabir, but only a few written collections have survived over the centuries. The Bijak is one of the most important anthologies, being the sacred book of the Kabir Panth and the main representative of the Eastern tradition of KabirÍs verses. All versions of the Bijak include three main sections called Ramani, Sabda, and Sakhi, plus a fourth section containing several miscellaneous folk-song forms. Most of the Kabir material has been popularized through the song-form known as sabda or pada, and through the aphoristic Sakhi that serves throughout North India as a vehicle for popular wisdom. These two forms, universally linked with Kabir, have been emphasized in this translation. Sukhdev Singh and Linda Hess have accomplished a translation of real grace and remarkable accuracy. The introduction and notes explore KabirÍs work, place it in its initial context, and explore its meaning for modern time.

Download or read book The Bijak of Kabir Translated Into English written by Rev. Ahmad Shah and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bijak of Kabir, Translated Into English The third edition of the Bijak is that printed by the Newal Kishore Press, at Lucknow, in 1898. It is a complete Bijak with commentary by Raja Vishu Nath Singh of Rewah. The fourth printed edition was issued at Allahabad in 1905. It is called the Bijak, with commentary of Puran Dass of Burhanpur. In this the words are separated, but in places the separation is marked by mistakes and in many places the editor has tried to polish and shape the words into their modern forms, which from a literary standpoint is very unwise. The commentary is what is called nirgun upasna. It has 115 Shabdas, while other editions have only 113. But these two extra shabdas do not convey any fresh idea, but only what is embodied in the Ad Mangal. It has a few sakhis which are not found in the edition of the Raja, but there are some missing in this which are found in the Raja's. It contains as follows: Pritham Anusar, 84 Ramainis, 115 Shabdas, Chauntisi, Bipramatisi, 12 Kahras, 12 Basants, 2 Chancharis, 2 Belis, Birhuli, 3 Hindolas, 353 Sakhis. The last printed edition is that from Bombay printed in Sambat 1961 (1906 A. D.). This is the Raja of Rewah's edition, similar to that of the Newal Kishore Press, Lucknow, but it has a life of Kabir in verse and at the end Sayar Pad Bijak and a genealogy and history of the Bhagel Bansha, and Mul Ramaini. It has some fresh sakhis and contains an imaginary picture of Kabir and also a likeness of the Raja of Bhagel Bansha. In this edition many mistakes have crept in and in some places the text is spoiled, but it has preserved the original beauty of the language. After going through all these printed editions as well as some of the available manuscripts, particularly one which I saw in Chunar with Pundit Bhan Partap Tiwari, I tried my best to present the public with a text as accurate as possible in my Hindi Text published in 1911. It is a pity that no ancient MSS. can be consulted. I have separated the words in their proper form and have added foot-notes to show where a foreign word is used.

Download or read book The Maxims of Kabir written by Kabir and published by Abhinav Publications. This book was released on 1999 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Poet Kabir Was Illiterate By Choice. He Was Of The Firm View That If One Realises The Value Of The Two Letters Of The Alphabet R And M Which Make The Name Of Shri Rama There Was No Need To Bother About The Rest Of The Fifty-Four Alphabets Which Might As Well Be Washed Down The River As Being Of No Value. But Kabir Also Emphasised That The True Value Of Shri Rama Should Be Realised Which Will Help Man To Realise The Intrinsic Value Of God And Ingrain True And Deep Love For The Lord. And Kabir Acted Accordingly As He Has Shown In His Songs And Maxims Which Flowed From His Lips In Thousands. The Maxims Selected For This Book Through Small In Number Being 160 In All Show How Deep And Broad Were His Realisation.
