Bhakti Literature refers to a genre of devotional poetry and prose that emerged in India between the 7th and 17th centuries. It emphasizes personal devotion to a deity, often expressing love, surrender, and longing. This literature is characterized by its use of local languages, making it accessible to a broader audience, and it often includes songs, hymns, and philosophical discourses. The movement was influenced by various saints and poets, such as Kabir, Mirabai, and Tulsidas, who sought to promote a direct relationship with the divine, transcending traditional rituals and caste barriers. Bhakti Literature played a significant role in shaping spiritual practices and fostering communal harmony across different regions of India.
