The bhakti movement as a cult of devotional love for God was first popularized in the South India by the poet-saints who flourished between the seventh and the twelfth centuries and then in Northern India during the fifteen and the sixteen centuries by the bhakti saints who were the followers either of the Saguna or the Nirgun path of bhakti. The former means the worship of a personal God in a spirit of love and the attainment of liberation (moksha) through it while the latter emphasizes mainly on the impersonal concept of God and gives the monothestic view of the ultimate Reality through the knowledge or jnana.
