In this period, there was an influence of various streams of faith, on each other, like Islam, Brahmanical Hinduism, Sufism, various strands of bhakti, and the Nathpanthis, Siddhas and Yogis. New towns and kingdoms were emerging and people were taking up new professions and roles for themselves. Such people thronged to listen to these new saints and spread their ideas.

Tulsidas and Surdas
They did not outrightly reject all existing beliefs. They in fact accepted all beliefs that existed and wanted to make them accessible to all.
Tulsidas: He conceived God in the form of Rama. The composition of Tulsidas, the Ramcharitmanas, is important both as an expression of his devotion and as a literary work. It was written in Awadhi.
Surdas: He was a devotee of Krishna. His compositions that are compiled in the Sursagara, Surasaravali and Sahitya Lahari express his devotion.
Shankaradeva: He was another contemporary of the period. He belonged to Assam and composed poems and plays in Assamese. He emphasized devotion to Lord Vishnu. He began the practice of setting up namghars or houses of recitations and prayers. This practice still continues. This tradition also includes saints like Ravidas, Dadu Dayal and Mirabai.
Mirabai
She was a Rajput princess married into a royal family of Mewar in the 16th century. She became the disciple of a saint named Ravidas who was considered untouchable. She was devoted to Krishna and expressed her devotion by composing many bhajans. Her songs openly challenged the existing norms of the ‘upper castes’. They also became very popular among the masses in Rajasthan and Gujarat.
The compositions of all saints were in their regional languages and could be sung. They gained popularity and were passed on from generation to generation. These songs were transmitted mostly by the poorest, most deprived communities and women, also by adding their own experiences to them. These songs that exist even today are compositions of saints as well as the people who transmitted them.
