Event Description

RS Connect in collaboration with Kabir Project is back with yet another exciting presentation: Prem Kataari, The Dagger of Love!

In the world of Bhakti and Sufi songs, love is a risky business. The metaphors of love – arrow, dagger, gallows, fire – are shot through with pain but also with the quality of transformation. RS Connect in collaboration with Kabir Project presents an hour-long presentation, where we will reflect on the risks of love – agony and ecstasy, erotic and spiritual, earthly and transcendental.

This is the fourth session in the collaboration, a series of presentations called ‘Thinking with Kabir and Other Mystics’ where we explore the spiritual songs of saint-poets like Kabir, Bulleh Shah, Meerabai, and Shah Latif from the folk oral traditions of India. It is an attempt to see these poems as portals, to think about ideas of faith, freedom, and compassion. In a world plagued by oppressive violence, can the musical voice of the mystic nudge us towards more justly imagined futures?
