Question

Explain the concept of Bhakti by Purandaradasa.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The concept of Bhakti by Purandaradasa is based on the deep philosophy of inner cleaning.

He was against any sort of discrimination and said that external cleaning is of no use if someone has filth inside.

Therefore, he insisted on equal treatment of everybody because according to him having a heart full of discrimination is false bhakti.

He further said that without faith and purity of heart, no one can achieve pure bhakti. Its just like diving in the river without getting wet.
