Meaning of Bhakti Movement:

The literal meaning of Bhakti is devotion. But the Bhakti movement implied the movement which emphasized intense devotion to God.

This devotion was expressed by a devotee through the repetition of the name of Almighty. The mode of expression was usually singing and dancing in the praise of God.

The saints of the Bhakti movement also emphasized that there was no distinction of class, colour, caste etc. All were equal. All had the right to salvation i.e. freedom from the cycle of births and deaths.
