Vaishnava Literature
Vaishnava Literature refers to a body of texts that focus on the worship and philosophy of Lord Vishnu and his avatars, particularly Krishna and Rama. This literature encompasses various genres, including poetry, philosophy, and devotional hymns, and is integral to the Bhakti movement, which emphasizes personal devotion to God.
Key works in Vaishnava Literature include the Bhagavad Gita, part of the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana, which narrate the divine exploits of Krishna and Rama. Other important texts are the Puranas and the writings of saints like Tulsidas and Mirabai, which inspire devotion and ethical living among followers.
