Bhakti in Indian religions is "emotional devotionalism", particularly to a personal god or to spiritual ideas.[5][6]. Thus, bhakti requires a relationship between the devotee and the deity[7]. The term also refers to a movement, pioneered by Alvars and Nayanars, that developed around the gods Vishnu (Vaishnavism), Brahma (Brahmanism), Shiva (Shaivism) and Devi (Shaktism) in the second half of the 1st millennium CE.[2][3][8] It grew rapidly in India after the 12th century in the various Hindu traditions, possibly in response to the arrival of Islam in India.[9][10][11]
Bhakti ideas have inspired many popular texts and saint-poets in India. The Bhagavata Purana, for example, is a Krishna-related text associated with the Bhakti movement in Hinduism.[12] Bhakti is also found in other religions practiced in India,[13][14][15] and it has influenced interactions between Christianity and Hinduism in the modern era.[16][17] Nirguni bhakti (devotion to the divine without attributes) is found in Sikhism, as well as Hinduism.[18][19] Outside India, emotional devotion is found in some Southeast Asian and East Asian Buddhist traditions, and it is sometimes referred to as Bhatti.[20][21][22]
