Select the correct statement (s) with reference to the Bhakti Movement

Collection of Alvar Saints hymns is known as Divya Prabandha
Both A & B
None of the above

The correct answer is C. Both A & B.

The Bhakti movement was a Hindu devotional movement that began in South India in the sixth century CE. It emphasized the importance of personal devotion to a particular deity, rather than ritual or caste. The Alvar saints were a group of 12 Tamil poet-saints who were instrumental in the spread of the Bhakti movement. They composed devotional hymns in praise of Vishnu, Shiva, and other Hindu deities. These hymns were collected in a work called the Divya Prabandha. The Tirumurai is a compilation of the Alvar saints’ poetry and literature. It is considered to be one of the most important texts of the Bhakti movement. It is also known as the “Tamil Veda” because of its importance to Tamil culture and religion.

Option A is correct because the Divya Prabandha is a collection of the Alvar saints’ hymns. Option B is also correct because the Tirumurai is a compilation of the Alvar saints’ poetry and literature. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Both A & B.
