Explanation: The Bhakti movement is also divided into two different ideological streams of ‘Saguna’ (those poet-saints who composed verses extolling a god with attributes or form) and ‘Nirguna’ (those extolling God without and beyond all attributes or form).

• For instance, the Saguna Bhaktas like Tulsidas upheld the caste system and the supremacy of the Brahmans and preached a religion of surrender and simple faith in a personal God, having a strong commitment towards idol worship.
• On the other hand, the Nirguna Bhaktas like Kabir rejected the varnashrama and all conventions based on caste distinctions.
• They championed new values, helping the emergence of new groups and new unorthodox or protestant sects.
