Exploring Composer-Saints in Hindu Bhakti Music
The rich heritage of bhakti music owes much to India’s composer-saints, who infused their devotional fervor into songs that continue to inspire millions. Saints like Meerabai, who sang of her divine love for Krishna, and Tyagaraja, who composed countless hymns in praise of Rama, have left an indelible mark on devotional music. These saints used music as an intimate dialogue with the divine, and their compositions, passed down through generations, remain a source of inspiration for devotees worldwide.
