Answer:
Kabir (1425-1518 AD):
Kabir made the most earnest efforts to create a spirit of harmony between Hindus and Muslims. Kabir's teachings are contained in his Dohas or couplets which are sung with devotion throughout India up to this day. He did not believe in caste distinctions, the supremacy of the Brahmans, and idol worship. He did not attach any importance to the performance of rituals and ceremonies or to pilgrimages to holy places
Guru Nanak (1469-1538 AD)
Guru Nanak who is the founder of Sikhism was another great preacher of the Bhakti message. He spent his whole life preaching universal brotherhood, religious tolerance, and unity of the godhead. As Kabir had done before, he too condemned caste distinctions, idol worship, rituals, and ceremonies. According to him, good deeds alone shall be counted in God’s court. He advised his followers to achieve a state of mind where there is neither pain, nor happiness and preached that this state could be attained by the constant recitation of the Sat Nam or the sacred name of God.
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1485-1534 AD):
Chaitanya was the greatest and most popular of the Vaishnava saints.
He spent the rest of his life preaching the message of love and devotion.
He did not believe in caste distinctions and rituals. He preached faith in Vishnu and believed that through love and devotion, song and dance, a state of bliss could be achieved in which the personal presence of God could be realized. His teachings were meant for all and his followers included low caste Hindus and even Muslims.
