Today it is a huge pond with lotus flowers blossoming in it, just like the way it was when he was found here. We were then pointed to a huge temple that stands close to the pond.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kabir_Math\"><\/span>Kabir Math<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was surprised to see such a grand place dedicated to a person who lived in a hut. And worked as a weaver for a living and above all, all his life spoke against organized religion. We went inside to see a rather plain but huge hall that is used to organize Satsangs and other functions. The priest was praying with a rosary in his hand and told us that he comes from Mumbai to be here to manage the temple every year for a few months. I was still focused on getting a Bijak and he pointed us to another Math that was located across the road called Bagh.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kabir_Bagh\"><\/span>Kabir Bagh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This was a simple but huge Math with many families living inside. The admin in charge was called and he showed us the various works of the poet published by them, thankfully including the Bijak. The person handling the books was very well-spoken and seemed to be studying the poet on his own. As we spoke to him, we found out that he has studied design and business management at some of the best schools in the world. But some life events led him to this humble place that holds the poet at the center of its being. One of those serendipitous rendezvous\u2026<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21613\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21613\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21613 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/staues-kabir-math-kabir-chaura-varanasi.jpg\" alt=\"At Kabir Math in Kabir Chaura, Varanasi\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/staues-kabir-math-kabir-chaura-varanasi.jpg 640w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/staues-kabir-math-kabir-chaura-varanasi-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/staues-kabir-math-kabir-chaura-varanasi-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21613\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the poet&#8217;s Math in Chaura, Varanasi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the Bagh, we got greedy and expressed our desire to hear the poet&#8217;s Panthis sing poetry. We were pointed to another Math at the Chaura named after him. Now, his Chaura is a famous locality in Banaras but not many people knew about this Math. We went to a landmark and then kept asking the way until we located this huge math.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chaura\"><\/span>Chaura<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here we saw the life of the poet depicted through models. Kabir sitting on the potter\u2019s wheel or weaving the cloth while he spoke his philosophy to his followers. His poetry is written on the walls of this place. The in-charge asked us to go behind the building and see the actual place where he lived and where his foster parents Neeru and Nima are buried. It was indeed a small knoll, now of course well maintained. It was another serendipity, as I had no idea that this math was built at the very place where he lived. We came back to the main building and the in-charge spoke about Kabir at length.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So many things from his poetry came alive as the priest explained the place as it used to be in his time. And how it is featured in his works. Like the lane of butchers that people had to cross to come to listen to him and his Saakhi:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>&#8220;Kabira teri Jhopdi, Galkatiyan ke Paas<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Jo karega so bharega, tu kyun bhaya udaas&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Roughly translated,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Your hut is located near the butchers, but why do you get sad?\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The one who kills will bear the brunt, not you&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We missed out on the singing though as the people who sing had gone out that day to perform elsewhere.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21614\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21614\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21614 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/kabir-original-house-parents-niru-nima-buried.jpg\" alt=\"Poet's original House where his parents Niru and Nima are buried\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/kabir-original-house-parents-niru-nima-buried.jpg 640w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/kabir-original-house-parents-niru-nima-buried-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/kabir-original-house-parents-niru-nima-buried-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/kabir-original-house-parents-niru-nima-buried-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/kabir-original-house-parents-niru-nima-buried-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21614\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Poet&#8217;s original House where his parents Niru and Nima are buried<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guru_Ramananda\"><\/span>Guru Ramananda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last day in Banaras we were walking from Dashashwamedh ghat to Trilochan ghat.

As I stood there, it was a strange gush of energy that went through me as I realized that my feet are on the very stairs where he had stood to gain a Guru.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Through the trip, the poet kept making appearances in various forms like books, a temple, a pond, a scholar, a follower, and a seeker.
