DESCRIPTION
This text is an attempt to reconstruct the Bhakti Movement from the 8th century Tamilnadu to the 16th century Punjab, in its totality, asa connected organic phenomenon, and as perhaps the earlist Indian voice of deconstructive modern thought. Besides survying the tradition of Bhakti poetry writing, the author studies in some details, the text and context of the Nirguna poetry of Sant Kabir and Guru Nanak. She examins both Kabir and Nanak as redical mystics poets who carried further the evolving concept of worship and divinity, and wrote a poetric dipped in the reformist zeal and rigorous questionong of established norms.
