Question

Name any two works of devotional literature composed by bhakti saint of North india

Answer 1

Answer:

Saint # 1. Ramanuja:

The earliest exponent of the Bhakti movement was Ramanuja, who was born at Sri Perumbudur in Southern India in the year 1017 A.D. He received his education at Canjeevaram and Shrirangam. On account of his scholarship he was appointed as the successor of his teacher Yamunamuni, the well- known Vaishnava saint. Thus Ramanuja acquired a position of authority.

Saint # 2. Nimbarka:

Nimbarka was a younger contemporary of Ramanuja, who also rendered great service to the spread of Bhakti movement. He wrote Vedanta-Parijatasourabha, a commentary on the Brahma Sutra, in simple language. Nimbarka also wrote Dasa Sloki, which deals with three realities (tri-tattava) —Brahma (Krishna), soul (Chit) and matter (Achit).
