Knowledge Depicted in Bhakti Period Poetry in the Context of the Confluence of Tradition and Change

Abstract

Bhakti period poetry represents a significant confluence of Indian cultural tradition and social transformation. During this era, Bhakti poets responded to the social, religious, and psychological challenges of their time and disseminated knowledge through their poetic expressions. The primary objective of Bhakti literature was the devotion to God, service to humanity, and the establishment of social justice. Saint poets infused their works with profound philosophical insight and social consciousness, clearly reflecting the deep interrelationship between knowledge and devotion. By employing simple and accessible language, these poets ensured that philosophical and ethical ideas could reach the common people. Bhakti poets such as Tukaram, Kabir, Mirabai, and Tulsidas articulated themes of divine love, social unity, and resistance against inequality in their compositions. Thus, Bhakti poetry not only propagated devotion but also played a crucial role in social, cultural, and religious awakening. The poetry of this period distinctly reflects the coexistence of tradition and change. It presents a form of knowledge that fosters social harmony and inspires the upliftment of humanity.
