Kabir was one of the greatest Bhakti saints in North India. He was a devotee of Ramanand.According to legend, he was abandoned on the banks of a river in Benares. There he was saved by a poor Muslim couple who were weavers by profession. He had no formal education and adopted the profession of his parents.

Kabur repudiated most of the major religious traditions existing at his time. His teachings questioned the logic of the practice of external worship in Brahmanical Hinduism and Islam, the pre-eminence of the priestly class across religions and the caste system. He believed in a formless Supreme God and preached that the sole path to salvation is through absolute devotion (bhakti). He preached in spoken Hindi to reach out to ordinary people and had followers among both Hindus and Muslims.
