Since time immemorial, man is involved in the search of supreme peace, optimism and immortality. That is why God and Bhakti have been the most significant part of human life ever since the beginning of time. Man is oblivious of his existence. Human life is surrounded by continuous questions of its origin. Where human came from? What’s his final destination? What is the purpose of birth and death and why does is not end? Are we stuck in a loop? These questions are endless but is so this loop?
When we talk about the contribution of the Bhakti Movement to Indian culture, another question arises whether Bhakti contributes to other existing cultures too. According to research, the sacred holy scriptures of all the religions that exist all around the world contribute in shaping their cultures. But apart from this, Bhakti has both, positive and negative contributions to the devotional aspect of life. Humans continuously trying to understand his origin, the quality-of-life he must lead and his ultimate destination, counts as the positive contribution. While, human failing his purpose by going against his holy books counts as the negative. This idea is supported by one of the most influential historical poets and saints, Kabir Das. He is a saint who earned his own significance in the history of Bhakti through his poetry, the purpose of which was to bring change in the impact of Bhakti movement and prevent it from extinguishing from the world.
The ultimate purpose of the Bhakti movement is to help humans realize the importance of sacred religious scriptures and the purpose of life.
