Chief Minister Raman Singh on Sunday said that saint Kabir was a king who rules the hearts of people and a classical saint who was never against the God but always opposed hypocrisy and pretension of religion.
Addressing people and large number of Kabirpanthis from across the world at the concluding ceremony of the Panch Shatabdi of the Kabirpanth organised here, Singh said that Kabir taught discipline and truth and strongly opposed hypocrisy at every level. Kabir’s couplets (dohas) are still recited by people including the rural and illiterate. His couplets are a source of inspiration and guidance for people in tough time, he said.
Singh said that saint Kabir cannot be limited to a particular period and peace could be established in the world by following the path shown by him. Singh said that the impact of Kabir is visible in Chhattisgarh and it is due to this effect, people live a peaceful life by maintaining brotherhood. He assured of better development of Astha Kendra of Kabirpanth in Damakheda.
Speaker of Chhattisgarh legislative Assembly Gaurishankar Agrawal, Agriculture Minister Brijmohan Agrawal, MP Ramesh Bais, MlA Shivratan Sharma, and Dayaldas Baghel were also present on the occasion.
