Kabir (also Kabira) (1440—1518)was a mystic poet and saint of India, whose writings have greatly influenced the Bhakti movement. The name Kabir comes from Arabic Al-Kabir which means ‘The Great’ – the 37th Name of God in the Qur’an.
Exciting news from Mumbai with the unfolding of the KABIR FESTIVAL, a 10 day extravaganza of Mystic Music, Poetry, Film and Arts running from January 14th to January 23rd. The Kabir festival follows on from The Kabir Project (www.kabirproject.org) which wa founded by Shabnam Virmani, a documentary film maker who spent 6 years travelling with folk singers who sing the mystic songs of Kabir. This festival is something of a showcase of those travels and the films, music and booksthat were produced as a result.
The Kabir project is a 6-year initiative undertaken by filmmaker Shabnam Virmani as an artist-in-residency project at Srishti. It brings together the experiences of a series of journeys exploring how this 15th century mystic weaver poet lives in diverse social, political, religious and spiritual spaces in India (and Pakistan). The core inspiration of the project is music, and Kabir comes alive in documentary films, 2 folk music videos and 10 music CDs and poetry books through the power of song.
The films (Had-Anhad: Journeys with Ram & Kabir, Koi Sunta Hai: Journeys with Kumar & Kabir, Chalo Hamara Des: Journeys with Kabir & Friends are interwoven in significant ways, but each can be viewed independently
The extraordinary line up of traditional talent will display the enormous variety of this spiritual, mystic lineage in all its gracious beauty. All programs are free to attend on a first-come first-served basis. It is a delight to know such events are taking place to introduce the Youth of India to their cultural and spiritual heritage in such a way and we wish the organisers well on their quest to uphold and maintain the connections to this tradition. This is the first Kabir festival in Mumbai and we look forward to its establishment as an annual celebration of one of the Greatest Mystic Poets India has ever known.

Tell me, O Swan, your ancient tale.
From what land do you come, O Swan? to what shore will you fly?
Where would you take your rest, O Swan, and what do you seek?
Even this morning, O Swan, awake, arise, follow me!
There is a land where no doubt nor sorrow have rule: where the terror of Death is no more.
There the woods of spring are a-bloom, and the fragrant scent ‘He is I’ is borne on the wind:
There the bee of the heart is deeply immersed, and desires no other joy.

Ravens Ait is an Island in the River Thames, near Kingston, London. With a venue built on it several unsuccessful businesses having gone bankrupt and the local authority leaving it derelict for years, the Rainbow Circle Community decided to take it over and begin using it as an Eco-Conference centre and community resourse. Having visited there recently we were delighted by the various activities, skills sharing, and community workshops happening there. A wonderful resource for local and international people alike.
Sangita Sounds are honoured to have been invited to host workshops and meditation & relaxation based music events. Stay tuned for more news.
Facing Eviction by the local authority, we urge you to take a stand for positive community space.

SAVE RAVEN’S AIT ISLAND FOR US ALL
We want Raven’s Ait to be a community centre for you! But we need your support to make it happen. There are lots of ways in which you can get involved or show your support and the first, really easy way is to email, phone or write to Kingston council.
They need to know that the local community and beyond are right behind this project and are ready to demonstrate their solidarity with those eager to keep this island as a productive eco community centre for all.
Just one phone call from you might swing this debate and ensure that this wonderful space is rescued from being sold off to property developers and lost forever.
ACT NOW TO SAVE OUR COMMON LAND!
If you support the vision for Raven’s Ait as an eco community space where we as a collective can put into practice the concepts of sustainable living, permaculture, skills sharing, workshops and providing a community space for groups to meet and network, then PLEASE take five minutes to let the council know how you feel. They don’t know if you don’t tell them.
