Publisher's Synopsis
The cult of bhakti was followed by a host saints of northern India. The moving spirit were Ramananda, Kabir, Nanak, Chaitanya and others. The Bhakti movement associated with the southern group was more scholastic than popular, which was not the case with the northern group. The bhaktas of the latter group did not ponder over the subtle questions of metaphysics. They were essentially ecletic, broad-minded and latitudinarian in their views and outlook. Ramanuja (twelfth century): The earliest exponent of the Bhakti movement was the great Vaishnava teacher Ramanuja who flourished in the early years fo the twelfth century in the South. The next leader of th Bhakti movement was Nimarbaka, a contemporary of Ramanuja. He believed in the philosophy of Vishistadvaita and laid emphasis on surrender to God.
