Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Exploring Bhakti, we journey through India’s spiritual renaissance—the Bhakti Movement. Long before Europe's humanism, saint-poets in India sang soul-awakening hymns of divine love. Discover how kirtan transformed society, how bhakti revived equality and mysticism, and why its message of love and surrender remains more relevant than ever. From the Alwars and Mirabai to Sri Chaitanya, the father of modern kirtan, uncover the spiritual revolution that changed India—and is now calling the world.
