Khusrau-Kabir - across centuries... India has been blessed by the presence of several Poet saints through centuries. Among the most revered and popular from North India are Hazrat Amir Khusrau and Saint Kabir. Both created several styles of poetic expression and covered a large spectrum of subjects through their verse. Their works resonating hard hitting social realities as well as great spiritual longing have truly immortalized them. Hazrat Amir Khusrau - A great poet, an accomplished linguist, skilled warrior, prolific writer and, a great musician, Amir Khusrau had all the name, fame, wealth and success at his feet all his life. However, for the layman, least concerned with the history and political upheavals of the period, he remains a great mystic, a Sufi saint, a Sufi poet. His works were source of pride and happiness for many. Kabir - One of the most loved and revered mystics of India, Saint Kabirdas was a fearless poet, reformer, critic, devotee and spiritual master all rolled into one. He spoke against all hypocrisy in the society regardless of its religious roots. His works abounding in spiritual wisdom, universal love, oneness of all creation and above all, about the spiritual path and gratitude to the Satguru, continue to inspire people from all walks of life beyond the divides of age, nationality, religious preferences and cultural differences. Banyan Tree conceived a unique concert aptly titled Khusrau-Kabir to celebrate the rich legacy of the two great geniuses whose works continue to guide us even today. Well known singers of India bring alive the rich poetry of the two on the same platform with their musical expertise. The contemporary classical and semi-classical instruments connect the ancient works with the twenty first century. The festival has been receiving overwhelming response every year in New Delhi for over 13 years now
