Summary of Guru Mahatmya

In the Kabir Sagar, the 39th chapter titled "Guru Mahatmya" begins on page 1895. The essence of Guru Mahatmya was already detailed earlier in the "Sumiran Bodh" section on page 451 of the same text. This chapter narrates the story of King Bankej, who was initiated into the refuge of Kabir Ji during the Satya Yuga. Along with the king, his 17 wives and 50 sons also received initiation. King Bankej, much like Dharmdas Ji, was granted the status of a disciple and elevated to the position of Guru under Kabir Ji’s guidance during that era.
