Guest guest Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 My little village in the southern California mountains was blessed with the visit of some Kabir musicians from India. There is no division between their music, their spiritual path and their Guru. Although they believe in the personal guru, most of their music sings of nirgun, the Guru beyond form, They sing both in the folk style and in the classical style of the raga. They are great bhaktas. They are not performers. They brought me into the experience of nirgun.
