| 520 | _aWhy chant the Vedas, follow Vedic karma? Why preach day by day the books of dharma? Why learn the six Vedangas by rote? One thing alone will to your rescue come― thinking always of the Lord Supreme. In the Tamil region in medieval times, a quiet revolution unfolded. It came to be known as the Bhakti movement. Appar’s hymn above exemplifies its spirit of rebellion against Vedic rigidity and ritual. Rebellion in Verse unfolds a journey that goes back to the sixth century CE―a time when many yearned for a reprieve from the constraints of Vedic orthodoxy and caste hierarchies. The Tamil Bhakti movement emerged as their clarion call, a grassroots surge of devotion that redefined spirituality and the social fabric itself. The saints of this movement were poets of the people, composing their hymns in Tamil and their verses, brimming with simplicity and profundity, wrestled divine wisdom from the elite grip of Sanskrit and handed it to the masses. Change had dawned. It would soon ripple through history with the force of a tidal wave. | ||
