what was the idea of the saints of Maharashtra to the prevalent caste system
Answers
Many saint poets inspired the people of Maharashtra from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century.
These saint poets preached their teachings in Marathi which was easy for the common people to understand.
Some important saints of this period were Namdev, Eknath, Jnaneshwar, and Tukaram. Sakhubai was a woman saint who belonged to the untouchable ‘Mahar’ caste.
Many saints of this region focused on the Bhakti of Lord Vitthala (form of Lord Vishnu) in the temple at Pandharpur.
They also believed in the idea that god resides in the hearts of all the people.
The saints in Maharashtra did not believe in ritualism and caste system. They even did not believe in the idea that world should be renounced in order to gain salvation. According to them, salvation could be achieved even when one was living with family.
