I A Short Biography Of God Kabir Satguru Kabir Sahib is Himself Purna Brahm (SatPurush - Param Akshar Brahm). This Param Akshar Brahm (Immortal) God comes in all the four yugas. He has come to this mortal world in Satyug by the name Satsukrit, in Tretayug by name the Muninder, in Dwaparyug by the name Karunamay, and in Kalyug by His actual name (KavirDev) Kabir. In Kalyug, Supreme God Kabir (KavirDev), in Vikrami Samvat 1455 (year 1398), on a full moon day in the Jyeshth month (May-June) in Brahm- muhurat, appeared in the form of a newly born child on a lotus flower in the Lahar Tara pond in Kashi (Banaras). He was taken by Neeru-Neema (a weaver couple) who had gone there to take bath. When the Qajis tried to give name to Him based on the Holy Book Quran, then all the words of that book (Quran, Kateb) became Kabir-Kabir-Kabir....... God Kabir (KavirDev) Himself spoke and said, "My name will II only be 'Kabir'." God Kabir showed various genitals to the person who had come to circumcise Him. That person became frightened and left without circum- cising. At the age of 5 years, Supreme God Kabir (KavirDev) became the disciple of 104 years old Swami Ramanand ji. He told the path to Satlok to Swami Ramanand ji and showed him Satlok. Once, the Emperor of Delhi, Sikander Lodhi, killed Swami Ramanand ji. Supreme God Kabir restored Swami Ramanand ji back to life. God Kabir cured the in- curable illness of the burning pain of Emperor Sikander Lodhi by merely touching him. Emperor Sikander got a cow split into half with a sword and said, "If you (God Kabir) call yourself God, then re- store this dead cow to life." Instantly God Kabir by merely touching restored the dead cow and the calf in its womb, who had also been cut into half, to life, and filled a bucket with milk, and said - Gaay apni amma hai, is par chhuri na baah III Garibdas ghee doodh ko, sarv aatm khaay God Kabir had no wife. To remove the ignorance of Sheikh Taqi and Emperor Sikander Lodhi, who were saying that we will consider you God when you will restore these corpses to life, God Kabir restored two dead children, Kamaal and Kamaali, to life and reared them as His children. God Kabir did not have mother-father. He was (Swayambhu) self-existent. Then for 120 years, giving the information about His true path and Satlok, went to Satlok in Maghar place, in district Kabir Nagar (old district Basti) near Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) in the pres- ence of millions of devotees and two kings - Bijli Khan (Nawab of Maghar) and Bir Singh Baghel (King of Kashi). Fragrant flowers were found in the place of His body. His body was not found. In Vikrami Samvat 1575 (year 1518) that Supreme Power returned to His Supreme abode (Satlok- Satyadhaam) along with His body and produced an ethervoice, "Look, I am going to Satyalok." The IV devotees present there looked above and saw that an effulgent body was going in the sky. Hindus and Muslims distributing half of the flowers and the bed sheet between themselves have built two memorials alongside each other at a gap of 100 feet in the Maghar city, that are witnesses even today, and even the Lahar Tara pond is clear evidence today. Two Kabir Panthi ashrams are built there which give this same true description. V A Short Biography Of Garibdas Ji Maharaj Maharaj Garibdas ji appeared in the year 1717 or Vikrami Samvat 1774 in the early morning on a full moon day of the later part of Vaisakh from the womb of Mother Rani in the family of Shri Balram ji in village Chhudani, in district Jhajjar of Haryana State. In Vikrami Samvat 1784, Bandichhor God Kabir (KavirDev) came from Satlok and met Maharaj ji, and gave him initiation when Maharaj ji had gone to graze his cattle in the fields called Nalla, approximately 1.5 km towards village Kablana. Maharaj ji had six children - four boys and two daughters. In Vikrami Samvat 1835 (year 1778), on the (dooj) second day of the Shukl Paksh 1 in Bhadva Maas 2 (Bhadr), you departed to Satlok. The last rites of your body were performed in the village Chhurani. A memorial 'Chhatri Sahib' has been built 1 The light half of the month (from new to full moon) 2 The sixth month of the Indian lunar calendar (mid-August - to - mid-September) VI on it. After this, you appeared in the same body (of the same age 61 years) and stayed in Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh) for 35 years. There also a memorial 'Chhatri Sahib' has been built by your name. From Chilkana road, a road extends called Kalsiya road. Twelve kilometres further on that road, the memorial is built on the left hand side. Nearby is the famous Bada (enclosed fenced area) of Shri Laldas ji Maharaj, which is a clear proof in the world that God can also come in a body without a mother. VII REQUEST It is a request to all the God (Satguru)-lov- ing souls that this handbook of "Nitya Niyam" from the speech of Maharaj Kabir Sahib and Garibdas ji has been published for your daily reading so that by daily reciting it with purity, the welfare of the soul can be done. There is a speciality in the speech of Bandichhor Kabir Sahib and Garibdas ji Maharaj that by reading it daily, the soul gets the power to relinquish evil deeds and to engross in God's thoughts. The speech of Bandichhor Kabir Sahib and Garibdas ji Maharaj is self-evident. By reading it daily, the benefit of the yagya of knowledge is obtained. Just as, if a person is bitten by a snake and he becomes unconscious, then a Gardu (snake charmer - a per- son who performs a spiritual treatment of the snake- bite) recites some verses (mantras). Within some time, that unconscious person regains consciousness and becomes alive. Similarly, the soul is covered with the VIII poison of evil deeds, and the soul overwhelmed by lust, anger and affection becomes unconscious, and regains consciousness by reading the speech. Then on acquiring a Guru, by thinking about God, doing sumiran 1 and singing the praise of Lord, it becomes free from Kaal's lok. Some diseases are also cured by reading the speech, if after taking initiation from a complete guru one reads it with full faith. Happiness in the family, increment in wealth, and some tasks also get accomplished by naam jaap and reading the vaani (speech) because this is Gyan Yagya (yagya of knowledge). Consider this to be true. But for com- plete salvation, find a Complete Guru and after tak- ing naam, obey the words of Guru and make your life successful. The meaning of 'Nitya Paath' (daily reading) is that one has to follow what is written in the vaani (words of Satguru). One should live and act accordingly. 1.
