<strong>Abstract</strong> <em>Religion plays significant role in shaping human relationships which in turns helps in strengthening social bodings and setting up an environment of peaceful coexistence. There is no doubt that each religion of the world preaches peace and love and if interpreted in their true spirits would always help in resolving various social conflicts in the world. When we analyze the socio religious movements of India, two of them; the Sufi and the Bhakti movements, have played quite a significant role in setting up socio-religious harmony in our country.

Abstract:
The modern anti-caste consciousness has deep roots in medieval bhakti traditions in India. The Bhakti saints like Basavanna, Kabir, Ravidas, Vemana, and Pothuluri Veerabrahmam have contributed towards democratizing the spiritual sphere. The radical bhakti traditions shaped new value systems, cultural practices, language, and other art forms and proposed a new egalitarian society. The tendency of locating subaltern saints within the spiritual domain does not capture the radical visions of an egalitarian society which are articulated in their songs, poems, thoughts, and practice.

Abstract:
Of all literary traditions that have silhouetted the contours of modern Indian Poetry, the tradition of Bhakti poetry stands out pre-eminently from the rest; it provides a creative template out of which modern Indian English Poetry stems forth. In fact, the subversive poetics of the saint poets that characterises Bhakti poetry becomes a ready tool in the hands of many anti-establishment movements of contemporary Indian literature to critique the established hegemonic structures of the society that prevent a free play of creativity. It is in this context that we can locate the significance of A

AbstractCentred on the ‘devotion to the ineffable divine’ (nirguṇ bhakti), the sectarian community known as the Dādū Panth (lit. ‘Dādū's path) had a class of sant-intellectuals who conceived their tradition on high literary and philosophical grounds. Succeeding on the local level, but aspiring to imperial ties, the intellectuals of the Dādū Panth not only built their community identity in relation to the Mughal-Rajput imperial milieu but also to the overlapping ideals of emerging sulh-i kull (universal peace) and Vedānta paradigms.

ABSTRACT This article compares the poetry of Meena Alexander with India’s traditions of bhakti poetry and reads it through a critical lens of postcolonial postsecularism. The devotional and egalitarian strands of bhakti poetry inform Alexander’s questioning of the hierarchies and taxonomies of gender, race, and religion. In turn, bhakti brought Alexander faith and helped her understand her life’s precarities, ones grounded in both worldly and spiritual struggle. A framework of postcolonial postsecularism addresses the aspects of religion and secularism that appealed to Alexander. These aspects

This article examines the everyday religious phenomenon of nirguṇa bhakti as it is experienced by Hindu renouncers (sādhus) in North India. As an Indian language concept, nirguṇa bhakti characterizes a type of devotion (bhakti) that is expressed in relation to a divinity who is said to be without (nir) the worldly characteristics and attributes of sex and gender, name and form, race and ethnicity, class and caste. Although bhakti requires a relationship between the devotee and the deity, the nirguṇa kind transcends the boundaries of relational experience, dissolving concepts of “self” and “oth

The thesis investigates why there are so many women associated with the Varkari sampradaya, while the santakaviyatris and the compositions attributed to them are largely absent from contemporary devotional practices.

The janamsakhis are a Sikh literary tradition, which consist of hagiographies concerning Guru Nanak's life and teachings. Although the janamsakhis are not reliable historical sources concerning the life of Guru Nanak, they are beneficial in imparting knowledge upon the time period in which they developed. The representation of women within these sakhis can give us an indication of the general views o f women of the time. A lack of representation of women within the janamsakhi supports the argument that women have traditionally been assigned a subordinate role within patriarchal society.

Abstract:
This book is about a deceptively simple question: when Hindu devotional or bhakti traditions welcomed marginalized people—women, low castes, and Dalits—were they promoting social equality? This is the modern formulation of the bhakti-caste question. It is what Dalit leader B. R. Ambedkar had in mind when he concluded that the saints promoted spiritual equality but did not transform society. While taking Ambedkar’s judgment seriously, when viewed in the context of intellectual history and social practice, the bhakti-caste question is more complex.

Emotion is viewed in both positive and negative ways in the Hindu religious and philosophical traditions. In those traditions that are more ascetic and emphasize mental control, emotions are distractions which need to be stilled. In those traditions that emphasize love of a deity, emotions are valuable—but they must be directed and transformed. However, in order to study emotion in the Hindu tradition, we must first look at the meaning of the term “Hinduism.” There are at least six major types of Hinduism: Hindu folk religion, Vedic religion, Vedantic Hinduism, yogic Hinduism, dharmic Hinduism

Abstract This chapter attempts to uncover the relationship between bhakti, bhaktas and yoga in the Prabodhcandroday nāṭak by Brajvāsīdās.

I analyse the portrayal of nine characters in the text: eight are personifications of the limbs of Patañjali’s yoga; the ninth is Viṣṇubhakti, embodying devotion to Viṣṇu.

Abstract Pilgrimage is a prominent feature in Indian religious traditions. The pervasiveness of pilgrimage, whether ihonor of a natural site, a founder figure, or a god, has prompted many to consider it a pan-Indian phenomenon; for example, Stella Kramrisch asserts that “the sacred geography of India recognizes the whole country as a field of more than human activity. It is carried by the rivers, from the celestial region where they have their prototype and origin, down to the earth.” When traditions of pilgrimage are taken collectively, this is an accurate impression.
