"Path Shown By Kabir Will Continue To Inspire Generations": PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday paid tribute to Sant Kabir Das on his birth anniversary. PM Modi said, the path shown by Kabir will continue to inspire generations to move ahead with brotherhood and goodwill. Sant Kabir was a 15th-Century poet and saint, whose writings influenced the Bhakti movement in India. His verses are also found in Guru Granth Sahib.

"Paying tribute to Sant Kabir Das Ji on his birth anniversary. The path shown by him will continue to inspire every generation to move forward with brotherhood and goodwill," PM Modi tweeted. 

संत कबीर दास जी को उनकी जयंती पर शत-शत नमन। उन्होंने न केवल सामाजिक कुरीतियों पर प्रहार किया, बल्कि दुनिया को मानवता और प्रेम का संदेश दिया। उनका दिखाया मार्ग हर पीढ़ी को भाईचारा और सद्भावना के साथ आगे बढ़ने के लिए प्रेरित करता रहेगा।
