The first Bhakti Movement was organized by Ramanujacharya. The Bhakti Movement was a spiritual and social reform movement that emerged in medieval India, aimed at fostering devotion and personal connection with God. Ramanujacharya, also known as Ramanuja, was a theologian and philosopher who lived in the 11th and 12th century. He played a crucial role in the development and popularization of the Bhakti Movement in South India. Ramanujacharya emphasized devotion to Lord Vishnu and advocated for a more inclusive approach, rejecting the social and caste barriers. He preached about the concept of Vishishtadvaita, which teaches that the individual soul is dependent on God. Through his teachings and writings, Ramanujacharya significantly influenced the subsequent Bhakti movements in different parts of India.
