Kabir was an Indian poet-saint revered by Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs. His birth was shrouded in mystery. According to one legend, his mother was a Brahmin, who became pregnant after visiting a Hindu shrine. She abandoned him as a baby and he was adopted by a Muslim Weaver. He was strongly influenced by Ramanand Hindu ascetic. He did not believe in repetitious chanting in any faith. He believed in absolute fidelity to Ram and Allah. He wrote songs called Padas and rhymed couplets.
