(4.1.1) Kabir / Events related to Kabir's life

Teachings of Kabir /  Events related to Kabir 

Main teachings of Kabir
Kabir was a great poet. His life was full of many virtues. He taught us an important lesson that God loves all men. His life and his Dohes are full of teachings, but his three main teaching are -
1. God loves all men.
2. God is every where.
3. There must be love in the heart for God.
Kabir's birth and childhood - 
One day a weaver pair named Niru and Nima were going to Banaras in a bullock cart. On their way to Banaras they stopped near a pool to drink water and to take a rest for a while. When they were drinking water Nima heard a cry which was coming from the big lotus leaves. When Niru went into the water of the pool, he saw a male child on the lotus leaves. At first they did not want to take the child with them as they were poor. But Nima's did not want to leave the child there. So they took the child with them and brought him up like an ordinary Muslim child.
How Kabir became the disciple of Swami Ramanand - 
When Kabir grew up, he had a great desire to have a true knowledge, so he went to the Ashram of Swami Ramanand to make him his Guru. But the disciples of Swami Ramanand did not let him meet Swami Ramanand.
Kabir did not lose his hope. So he did not go away from there. He spent the night under the trees. Next morning when he saw Swami ji going to the river for a bath, he followed him and requested him to accept him as his disciple. Swami Ramanand saw Kabir's determination and made him his disciple.
Kabir went to Maghar- 
At that time people believed that the people who died at Banaras, would go to heaven. To break this superstition of the people, Kabir chose the place of his death, and that was Maghar. He wanted to teach an important lesson to people that God is everywhere and one did not have to die in a holy city to find him.
The death of kabir- 
When Kabir died, his followers began to quarrel. The Hindus wanted to burn his dead body. The Muslims said that he should be buried. Both of them said that he was their saint. They were ready to fight over this matter. Just then they heard Kabir's voice in the sky. The voice asked them to take the sheet away from his body. When they removed the sheet, they did not find Kabir's body there. Instead of his body, they found  some flowers. The Muslims took half of the flowers and the Hindus took the other half and they remembered Kabir's words that he was the child of Allah and Ram. Then they completed the funeral following their own customs.

(6.2.13) Chandra Shuddhi / Chandra Bal

How to know Chandra Bal or Chandra Suddhi 
The consideration of the position of Moon (Chandrama) is of much importance in the Muhurat of any kind. At the time of the Muhurat the  Moon must not be in the sign which is fourth or eighth or twelfth from the person's birth sign or the name sign.
In other words to avoid the failure , the person must not start the new task if  the moon is in the fourth or eighth or twelfth sign from his birth sign or name sign (as the case may be) at the time of starting the new work or purchasing any new vehicles etc.( If you want to know your NAME SIGN )
Example :- If a person whose birth sign or name sign is Taurus (Vrishabh) and he wants to buy a vehicle when Moon is in Sagittarius (Dhanu Rashi) , there is no Chandra bal or Chandrashuddi because on that day Moon falls in Sagittarius which is the eighth from the person's birth sign / name sign (Taurus). So the day is inauspicious for that person because of the absence of Chandra Suddhi and he must avoid purchasing a new vehicle or starting any new task on that day.
The sign or Rashi wise Chandra Shuddhi :- 
(1) If Moon sign is Mesh , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is Makar or Kanya or Vrishabh.
(2) If Moon sign is  Vrishabh  , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is Kumbh or Tula or Mithun.
(3) If Moon sign is  Mithun  , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is Meen  or Vrishchik or Kark.
(4) If Moon sign is  Kark  , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is Mesh or Dhanu or Singh.
(5) If Moon sign is Singh , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is  Vrishabh or Makar or Kanya .
(6) If Moon sign is Kanya , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is Mithun or Kumbh or Tula.
(7) If Moon sign is Tula , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is Kark or Meen or Vrishchik.
(8) If Moon sign is Vrishchik , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is Singh or Mesh or Dhanu.
(9) If Moon sign is Dhanu , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is Kanya or Vrishabh or Makar.
(10) If Moon sign is Makar , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is Tula or Mithun or Kumbh.
(11) If Moon sign is Kumbh , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is Vrishchik or Kark  or Meen.
(12) If Moon sign is Meen , it is not favourable for the person whose name sign / birth sign is Dhanu or Singh or Mesh.

Jo karenge, so bharenge, too kyon hota udaas.
Meaning - Kabir says, " Don't feel sad if your hut is next to the butcher's hut because everyone is responsible for his own conduct and has to bear the result accordingly."

Kar kaa mankaa daari de, man kaa man kaa pher.
