Finest text after a century
Purushottam Aggarwal said that ‘Kabir Granthawali’ is the base book of Kabir study. Since 1928, many editions of this book have come, but the text remains the same in all. Many mistakes have been missed due to mistake of reading or mistake of printing. At the same time, entire lines of some posts have been left out of publication. As soon as I started systematic study of Kabir, I also had to face the problems of text of Granthawali. I kept getting annoyed that why no scholar paid attention to the revision or correction of this text. Eventually, I got into this work myself. It is not possible for all readers to compare and match various Kabir-collections with manuscripts in order to reach the most authentic, comprehensible text possible. This collection has been prepared keeping them in mind.
