Bhagat Kabir Das (Kabir is Arabic for "great", and Das is Prakrit for "slave" or "servant"), is widely acknowledged as one of the great personalities of the Bhakti movement in North India. He was, as is widely acknowledged, born in year 1398 CE (71 years before Guru Nanak). Kabirpanthis (followers of Kabir) say that he lived up to the age of 120 years and give the date of his death as 1518 CE, but relying on the research of Hazari Prasad Trivedi, British scholar Charlotte Vaudenville is not inclined to lend credence to these dates and has proven that 1448 CE is probably the correct date of Bhagat Kabir's demise.

According to some scholars, he was born in Asani, but nothing is known about the exact location of this village or town. In spite of all this uncertainty, he can be called a contemporary of Guru Nanak. It seems that Beni lived in this world somewhere between mid-15th centuries to the mid-16th century. He was unperturbed by poverty and enjoyed a life of solitude enriched by his spiritual per suits.
