People should follow the path shown by Sant Kabir, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said on Thursday.
Calling Kabir a poet of love and social equality as well as a social reformer, Baghel said that people from all walks of life are his followers. Although born some 650 years ago, his messages are relevant even today, he said.
The Chief Minister was addressing a virtual programme here on Sant Kabir Jayanti. He named the gate of the administrative building of Kushabhau Thakre Journalism and Mass Communication University here after Sant Kabir.
He released a book, "Sant Kabir Ka Chhattisgarh". The event was organized by Kabir Vikas Sanchar Adhyayan Kendra.
Home Minister Tamradhwaj Sahu and Agriculture Minister Ravindra Choubey were present on the occasion.
The Chief Minister said the meeting of Sant Kabir and Guru Nanak Devji took place at Kabir Chabutra in Amarkantak. Although Kabir never visited Chhattisgarh, his teaching has reached every village in the state. This is why people here are honest, satisfied, credible, peaceful and spiritual. Baghel called upon the people to cooperate in the rebuilding of Chhattisgarh by following the path shown by Sant Kabir.
