His Holiness the highly revered spiritual master Saint Shri Abhilash Sahebji is one of the greatest saints within the tradition of the crown amongst the saints, the great spiritual master Kabir Sahebji who could roll up within the dimension of his love not only the human race but also all the living beings. In the promotion and spreading of the Parakh Philosophy of the great spiritual master Kabir in India, there is an unparallel and peerless contribution of this dispassionate enlightened preceptor.He was born at the village Khantara in district Sidharthnagar of U.P. on Thursday, the 17th August, 1933, accordingly the Bhad Krishan Dvadashi Samvat 1990.The name of his holy mother was Smt. Jagrani Devi and that of father Pandit Shri Durgaprasad Shuklji who was a freedom fighter. Because of the social pre-occupations of his father, he could not receive the regular schooling. He could study only for six months in the standard I and another six months in thestandard II, but he could not get a chance to appear in any examination.Wits of infancy shine ahead. As such he had developed a keen proclivity and acumen for studies and used to study a lot of spiritual and religious books in house and thus remained permeated with the devotional sentiments.He got acquainted with the Kabir sect at the age of 17. At the age of 21 years, having renounced the home and hearth, he was initiated in the saintlihood by therenowned Mahant revered spiritual master Shri Ramsoorat Sahebji of the Kabir Ashram, Badhara, District Gonda (U.P.) He has dedicated his whole life in perpetually establishing the truth andrighteousness and remains fully devoted to Summum Bonum and common benediction. Since then, like a Karmayogi (the philosophy of the discipline of detached action unmindful of results), he has incessantly remained absorbed to make the glow of knowledge ever susceptible.He is the founder of the Kabir Parakh Sansthan, Allahabad, the renowned editor of the widely circulated quarterly Magazine “Parakh Prakash” and the celebrated author of about 100 books on social, spiritual and common conduct, a few highly acclaimed out of those are Commentary on the Bijak, Annotation on the Panchgranthi, Elucidation on Vivekprakash, Commentary on Yogdarshan, Ramayan Rahasya, Gitasar, Upanishad Saurabh, Kabir Darshan, What do the Vedas say ?, Kahat Kabir, Who is drowning the religion ?, Dhai Akhar, Moksh-Shashtra, Boond Boond Amrit, Vyavahar Ki Kala, Shashwat Jeevan, etc. etc. In the brilliance of his holy versions, there is effervescence of the rishis and munis of the Indian culture as well as luster of theroutine life and the infallible experience of the spiritual life remains contiguous there within.While understanding the grandeur of humanity from the immaculate versions of His Holiness spiritual master Shri Abhilash Sahebji, where the millions of persons of all categories have turned successful in leading the peaceful routine life, also a number of seekers have made strides in the field of benevolence by leading a life of spiritual performances.The Personality of Kabir Saheb is an unfathomable ocean. He was being recognized as a great saint, a spiritual holy master, not only this but as a superhuman being. His glory was spread not only in the northern India butin the whole of India and his views reached the nearby countries. His contemporary renowned saints, scholars, devotees, brahmins and pundits, mullas and maulvies, kings and courtiers having been associated with him and being influenced by his great personality, true knowledge, impartial comments, humanity, wisdom and dispassion, have experienced pride in serving him. There exists testimony of the same. Personages like Vir Singh, theking of Gahaura, Bijlikhan, the nawab of Magahar, Sikandar Lodi, the ruler of Delhi and his pir Shaikh Taqqi, devout Pipa, the king of Gagron, NanakDev, the holy master of Sikhs, Saint Raidas, Sone etc. have eulogized the noble master Kabir.The renowned learned scholar Sarvanand of the Southern India who had named himself as Sarvajeet by defeating many other learned scholars, having been influenced by Kabir Saheb had become his dispassionate disciple who was later on known as Shruti Gopal Saheb and became the first to be coronated on the throne of Kabir Chaura in Kashi. Many Vaishnav saints like the renowned Vaishnava saint Shree Bhagwan Saheb of the Nimbark docrine and the son of priest of Jagdish Mandir (temple) of Orisa-kattak, Shree Jagu Sahebji etc; being impressed with the true knowledge of Kabir Saheb, had acknowledged his discipleship. Shree Padamnath of Patan in Gujarat, Shree Tattva and Shree Jeeva, the two brahmin brothers of Shukla Tirath in the district of Bharuch and the dispassionate Vaishnava saint Gyaniji Maharaj, the Vaishnava saint Shree Nirvanji Maharaj from Surat had invited Sadguru Kabir Saheb and acknowledgedtheir services and discipleship towards him. There was held an All Religion Conference at Girnar in the district of Junagadh wherein ended the dispute amongst the Vaishanavaties, Shaivaties and Sakaties after hearing the presidential speech of Sadguru Kabir Saheb on human equality and harmony. Kabir Saheb had spiritually awakened the emperor of Balab Bukhare through his sermons. Not only this, having been influenced by the movement of devotionlaunched by kabir, many saints thereafter have sung his praises in one way or the other and have pronounced him as a diadem, the Supreme of saints. Kashi has of course been the headquarters of the holy master Kabir but he has intermittently traveled through the length and breadth of India and abroad. He himself has testified thisin his own creation. Desh videsh haum phira, ganva ganva ki khori - I have traveled from country to country, and in the lanes and by lanes of every village. (The Bijak, Sakhi 3/6). Kabir Saheb mainly traveled to Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Balab Bukhare, Uttrarakhand, Magadh, Vaishali, Bengal, Assam, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and in other parts of the Southern India. Other than these, it is understood that he also traveled to Nepal, Kabul, Iran, Iraq, U.A.E. etc.The holy master Kabir wanted to exterminate all the superstitions. Throughout the life, he made Kashi as his headquarters but at the time of relinquishing the body, he left Kashi and settled at Magahar and there itself, in the year 1518, Vikram Samvat 1575 on Magh Shukl Ekadasee, he gave up this mortal body and got absorbed eternally in the Self-essence. Here too, he exercised his demeaning endeavors to dissipate the misbelief that the death at Kashi yields salvation and at Magahar, the one has to become a donkey. The goal of his whole life was to end the superstitions and misbeliefs and to establish the true knowledge. Kabir is the first such personage, after whose death, the Hindus wanted to build his tomb as their revered master and the Muslims wanted to build his grave as their pir which exists even today at Magahar. Where can such a lofty example of the humanity be found ?
