Question

Why did brahmins loose their importance due to bhakti movement?

• A. Because there were no god or dieties in bhakti movement.
• B. Because there were no rules in bhakti movement.
• C. Becuase there were no rituals or ceremonies in bhakti movement.
• D. Because there were rituals to be performed by brahmins in bhakti movement.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Becuase there were no rituals or ceremonies in bhakti movement.

The bhakti movement preached complete devotion to the diety and did not require brahmins for performing rituals and ceremonies. This reduced the dependence of people on brahmins for the purpose of worship and hence reduced their importance.
