These are not part of the five-song album, but they belong to the same Kabir for Kids world of stories, songs and simple conversations.

How to use

Keep the song before the sermon.

A Little Kabir Song works best when the child feels the rhythm first. The discussion can be very small. One line, one drawing, one question, then the grown-up can stop.

  1. 1
    Choose one poster and play the song.
  2. 2
    Let the child hum, move, draw or repeat a word.
  3. 3
    Open the meaning page only if curiosity appears.
Doha and song

Respect the source, simplify the doorway.

The dohas are Kabir's original poetic source. Little Kabir Songs are separate child-friendly songs inspired by that source. This lets children enjoy the song without losing the path back to the Hindi line and fuller meaning.
