Journeys with Kabir
4 films by Shabnam Virmani

These films journey into contemporary spaces touched by the music and poetry of the 15th century mystic weaver-poet of north India, Kabir. We meet a diverse array of people - an urban folklorist, a street fruit seller, a social activist, a Dalit folk singer, a Zen Buddhist scholar, a neo-fascist cleric of a Kabir sect, a Muslim qawwal - each encounter offering a moment of insight into the poetry and its contemporary meanings. We glimpse not one but many Kabirs. Sometimes he beckons, sometimes he baffles, but always he pushes you to self-interrogate, to question the boundaries of your identity, nation, ideology, caste and religion; making these journeys unrelentingly inward even as they venture outward.

The 4 films are interwoven in significant ways, but each can be viewed independently.

This great Bhajan is in Bhimsen Joshi's CD SNCD 01/11 - Title Sun Bhai Sadho, released by T Series over 20 years ago. The CD contains nine superb bhajans, seven of them by Kabir. Bhimsenji sounds divine on this CD if played on good quality HIFI system.
