Abstract

Winand M. Callewaert’s paper explores the mystical depth of the Holy Name in Nirgun Bhakti, focusing on Sant poets like Kabir, Nanak, Namdev, and Raidas. It distinguishes between mechanical repetition and the Name as divine essence, emphasizing the Word (Sabad) as the medium for spiritual union. The Name, though "nameless," becomes the seeker’s path to ultimate Reality.
