Bhakti Poetry

Bhakti poetry is a form of devotional literature originating in India that expresses love, reverence, and longing for a personal deity, often focusing on gods like Krishna or Shiva. It emphasizes a heartfelt, personal connection with the divine, transcending rituals and social barriers. Written in regional languages, bhakti poetry uses simple, evocative language to communicate deep spiritual sentiments, making complex religious ideas accessible to everyday people. This poetic tradition played a vital role in shaping Indian devotional practices and fostering a sense of personal spirituality and community among its followers.
