Write a short note on Bhakti
Plz answer
Dear student,
Here is the answer:
Bhakti means complete devotion to God. Bhakti is a person’s devotion to his deity. The idea of Bhakti is present in the Bhagavad Gita. Bhakti emphasised devotion and individual worship of a god or goddess. It was believed that if a devotee worships the chosen deity with a pure heart, the deity will appear in front of him. It can be reached through prayer and meditation. Shiva, Vishnu and Durga emerged as the supreme deities, and were worshipped through elaborate rituals.
Bhakti Movement had its genesis in the South of India in the 6th century B.C..The Bhakti Movement gained momentum from the 12th centuries in the central western regions of India, then moved northward coming to an end roughly in the 17th century.
It propagated religious tolerance, oneness and rejected rituals, superstitions. Important Bhakti saints were Kabir. Ramanuja, Ramananda etc.
Regards
