The Sorrowless City: The Devotion of Guru Ravidas

In the golden stillness of dawn along the Ganges, a barefoot cobbler dipped his hands into the water-and changed the spiritual imagination of a nation. In this episode, Harmonia remembers Guru Ravidas, a 15th-century poet-saint of the Bhakti movement whose hymns defied caste, rejected hierarchy, and revealed the sacred in work itself. His vision of Begampura-a sorrowless city without oppression-echoes across centuries, reminding us that spiritual truth is not a belief to hold, but a life to live. This is the story of how service became worship, and how quiet devotion reshaped the world.

Kabir: The Weaver of Love and Truth

In this episode of The Golden Thread, Harmonia takes us to the bustling lanes of Benares, where Kabir, a humble weaver, spoke verses that challenged priests and mullahs alike. His songs mocked empty ritual, lifted the dignity of the poor, and revealed a God closer than breath itself. Woven by tradition across centuries, Kabir's words still call us to weave lives of honesty, compassion, and love.
