Sant literature

Sant literature comprises writings from the Sant tradition, a spiritual movement originating in India that emphasizes personal devotion, inner purity, and a direct relationship with the divine. These texts often include poetry, hymns, and philosophical reflections expressing love for God, moral virtues, and the importance of inner spiritual practice. Prominent Sant figures such as Kabir, Mirabai, and Tukaram used simple language to inspire devotion across social classes, rejecting rituals and caste barriers. Overall, Sant literature seeks to promote spiritual awakening, moral integrity, and unity among all people through heartfelt expression and accessible teachings.
