| | Bhakti essentially became the religion of the masses of India, for it enables the individual to approach the Divine directly and to become a part of his all-encompassing love. | | | The bhakti movement was long opposed by the brahminis because it disregarded Vedic rituals, ignored caste differences (many of the bhakti saints and leaders were of the lower castes), and stressed devotion over knowledge. | | | One of the major themes of bhakti is that of avatar, God manifesting himself on earth in some form (even animal as well as human) in order to benefit humankind in time of troubles; Krishna is the supreme example of an avatar, but avatars are endless and beyond count. |

| | What is today known as the Bhakti Movement had its genesis in the South of India in the 6th century C.E. It is characterized by the writings of its poet-saints, many of whom were female, that extolled passionate devotional love for the Divine. | | | Greater numbers of women took part in the movement’s earlier development (6th to 13th centuries); it is largely male bhaktas and sants that are today perceived as the spokespersons for the movement in its later manifestations. | | | Nonetheless, that their poetry became an integral aspect of the bhakti movement at large is highly significant and inspirational for many who look to these extraordinary women as ideal examples of lives intoxicated by love for the Divine. |
