Question

tell me about Saguna Bhakti Saints and Nirguna Bhakti Saints in details

Answer 1

Nirguna bhakti is the devotion towards a formless, all-encompassing God. The word 'nirgun' means 'devoid of qualities,' referring to the lack of physical attributes in God. It is one of the two forms of devotion prevalent in Hinduism, the other one being Sagun Bhakti which sees God in a physical form.

Philosophy: Nirguna and Saguna Brahman. The Bhakti movement of Hinduism saw two ways of imaging the nature of the divine (Brahman) – Nirguna and Saguna. Nirguna Brahman was the concept of the Ultimate Reality as formless, without attributes or quality.

Answer 2

Nirguna bhakti is an unconditional devotion to god in an unmanifested form. Its opposite is saguna bhakti, which is worship of and devotion to a manifested deity who takes the form of an idol, an image or an incarnation.
