Sir,
Apropos to the articles on Ravidas and Guru Gyagi written by two learned writers D R Bhagat and R L Kaith. I congratulate both of them along with the newspaper for carrying such good articles on the birthdays of two great religious revolutionary saints who were apostles of universal brotherhood. The Bhagti movement in India was akin in many ways to Protestant Reforms of Christianity. Shimpa (Dalit) saint Guru Namdev (1270-1350) is said to be the first saint in the Bhagti Movement or Sant Mat the devotional transformation of medieval Hinduism in the North. Nirguna Bhagti as preached by Bhagti Movement saints is Bhagti or worship approach to achieve the ultimate God realization objective. It is based on the non qualified (nirguna) of the supreme Brahman, of non personal, all pervading ineffable, unutterable or indescribable reality, which cannot be spoken with human tongue. It cannot be written in any wordly language alphabets. Sant Mat is based on the reality of merging the re-absorbable jive or atma of the finite soul into the infinite ineffable sacred reality. The Bhagti movement is devotional religious movement which started from Tamil South India (First saints Tiruppan Alvar’s) in 8th or 9th century. It travelled through Bengal, Karnataka, Maharashtra and reached Northern Indian parts in thirteen century. Had a little more care been taken the Sabads quoted would have become readable as all sabads quoted are in running type instead of separating each word with a stroke/space.
Yours etc….
