Kul Himmet

 Kul Himmet, 16th century:

• His grave is located in the village of Görümlü (Varzıl), affiliated with the Almus district of Tokat, where he was born.

• It is claimed that he belonged to the Safavid branch of the Alevi-Bektashi sect, affiliated with the Erdebil Tekke.

• During his lifetime, he was mentioned alongside Pir Sultan Abdal and Şah Hatayi, and he was one of the Yedi Ulu Ozan (Seven Great Bards).

Kul Himmet:

• It is said that he led a challenging life and endured imprisonment due to his beliefs.

• There is no definitive information about his death, but it is believed that he lived in hiding for a long time after the hanging of Pir Sultan Abdal in 1560 and passed away in his village.

• He expressed breaths (poems) based on love, peace, and friendship.

Kul Himmet:

• There is no notable specific research about Kul Himmet, a prominent Alevi poet and dede (spiritual leader), who lived throughout the 16th century amidst secrecy, openness, and migration.

• Among other Alevi-Bektashi poets, Kul Himmet has been briefly mentioned by selecting excerpts from his poems found in cönk (religious manuscripts) and providing speculative information about his life.

Kul Himmet:

• Despite the misconception of Kul Himmet being portrayed as the spiritual guide of Pir Sultan Abdal, the first and most accurate determination regarding his period comes from Sadettin Nüzhet (Bektaşi Şairleri ve Nefesleri, volumes 1-2, Istanbul, 1944, pp. 170-198):
