Kabir; whom people, to date; simply consider a poet descended 600 years ago from the eternal world ‘Satlok’ in the year 1398 C.E. in Kashi-Varanasi and stayed on earth playing the divine spectacle of a weaver. He was in fact, Almighty God Kavir Dev the creator of the universe. He is Param Akshar Purush, Supreme God. His body is highly effulgent. He is enthroned like a King in ‘Satlok’. He does not take birth from a mother’s womb. God Kabir comes in every yuga (age) on earth intending to liberate innocent souls from the web of the butcher Brahm-Kaal by imparting true spiritual knowledge. Holy books – pious Vedas; provide evidence about his identity and the spectacles he does on earth. God Kabir departed the earth along with his body from Maghar in 1598.

Question - How did the name Kavir i.e. Kabir come in Vedas? Vedas were obtained at the beginning of creation. Kavir Dev (Supreme God Kabir) originated in 1398 A.D.
Answer - The actual name of the Supreme God is KavirDev. His other names are SatPurush, Param Akshar Brahm, Purna Brahm, etc. Like, the name of the body of the prime minister of a country is something else and Pradhan Mantri, Prime Minister are the names of the post. This very Supreme God Kabir Dev by changing names has come in all the four yugas and was also present in a human-like visible body in Anami (Anamay) lok by the name Kabir Dev before the creation of nature and the Vedas. The same KavirDev, after creating Satlok, then became seated in Satlok. Thereafter, He created all the loks (regions) of ParBrahm and Brahm-Kaal (Jyoti Niranjan) and the Vedas; therefore, there is a description of KavirDev in the Vedas.

Almighty Kabir tells in his nectar speech
चारों युग में मेरे संत पुकारे - Charon Yug mein mere sant pukarey
कुक कहा हम हेल रे - Kook kaha hum hail re
हीरे माणिक मोती बरसे - Heerey Madik Moti barsey
यह जग चुगता ढेल रे - Yeh jag chugta dhel re
सतयुग में सतसुकृत कह टेरा - Satyug mein Satsukrit kahey tera
त्रेता नाम मुनेंद्र मेरा - Treta naam Muninder mera
द्वापर में करुणामय कहाया - Dwapar mein Karunamay kahaya
कलयुग नाम कबीर धराया - Kalyug naam Kabir dharaya

Question – What was the name of Almighty Kavir Dev in Satyug? Whom did he meet?
Answer – According to the constitution of God, KavirDev comes in all ages on earth to impart true spiritual knowledge to his dearest virtuous souls. The same Almighty KavirDev came in Satyug and became famous by the name ‘Satsukrit’. He appeared on the Lotus flower in a pond from where a childless Brahman couple aged 55-60 years named ‘Vidhyadhar’ and his wife named ‘Deepika’ took the child form God and nurtured Him. At that time, God Kabir gave true spiritual knowledge to Shri Garud Ji, Trimurti Gods ie. Shri Brahma Ji, Shri Vishnu Ji, and Shri Shiv Ji, also to Shri Manu Ji. None of them agreed with the spiritual knowledge given by Kabir Ji therefore, people started calling him ‘Vamdev’ ie. one who provides spiritual knowledge which is opposite to the belief in Brahm-Kaal’s region. God made one 'Sehtey Ji' his beloved soul his disciple and after explaining him the nectar knowledge made him a resident of Satlok.

This childless couple took an infant form of God who appeared on a Lotus flower and did His upbringing, therefore, He was also called ‘Valmiki’. One Gangeshwar Brahman, his son Ganesha and one Supach Sudarshan from the same Valmiki caste became his disciple. God as sage Karunamay met the five sons of Pandavas ie. Yudhisthir, Bheem, Arjun, Nakul, and Sahdev, also He met Shri Krishan Ji and Draupadi and blessed them by being a part of the feast which was given by ‘Pandunandans’ on the advice of Shri Krishan to nullify their sins cropped on them after the fierce battle of Mahabharata.

Question – Does Almighty Kavir Dev otherwise also manifest on earth anytime? What is the purpose of His manifestation?
Answer – Yes, God Kabir manifests to meet His virtuous souls anytime. He descends from His eternal abode ‘Satlok’ with speed, whole bodily. The purpose remains the same ie. to make familiar his ignorant souls about their native world ‘Satlok’ and relieve them from the trap of Brahm-Kaal the devil. That omnipotent Lord, that ‘Param Akshar Brahm’, Kavir Dev himself tells about his own creation of the universe.
Almighty Kavir Dev tells in his nectar speech
गौता मारू स्वर्ग में जा बैठूं पाताल |
गरीबदास, ढूंढता फिरूं मैं अपने हीरे मोती लाल ||
Gota marun swarg mein jaa baithun patal,
Garibdas, doondhta phirun mein apney Hirey Moti lal
He met his beloved souls; respected Dadu Saheb Ji, respected Malookdas Saheb Ji, respected Garibdas Saheb Ji, respected Gheesadas Saheb Ji, Sheikh Farid, Rishi Sarvananda, Seu-Samman, Sultan Ibrahim Adham, Sikander Lodhi, Veerdev Singh Baghel, Bijli Khan Pathan, Meerabai, Gorakhnath, Dhruv, Prahalad and a few more renowned personalities of their time.
Likewise, He explains the true spiritual knowledge time and again and later he disappears.
Question – Is there mention of manifestation of God Kabir in other religions?
Answer – Yes, In all the holy books-Quran Sharif, Quran Majid, etc of Islam religion Almighty KavirDev is greeted by the name ‘Kabira’, ‘Kabiran’, ‘Khabira’, ‘Khabiran’. God Kabir only is Allahu Akbar. God Kabir maintains faith in devotion by making many forms. He also performed Al-Khidr's Divine Play. Muslims believe that Al-Khidr is immortal and is still alive on earth and guides those who are confused on the path of Allah.
In this very context, Saint Garibdas Ji has said that: -
गरीब अनंत कोटि अवतार हैं, - Garib anant koti avtaar hain,
नौ चितवैं बुद्धि नाश - Nau chitvain buddhi naash;
खालिक खेलै खलक में - Khaalik khelai khalak mein,
छः ऋतु बारह मास - Cheh ritu barah maas;
Similarly, Holy Bible provides evidence that El-Kabir is the same Almighty KavirDev. In all Bible translations, the word Kabir is translated as ‘great’ or ‘mighty’, whereas Kabir is the name of the Supreme God mentioned in every scripture.
Also, pious Shri Guru Granth Sahib mentions Kabir is God.
