Select the incorrect statement (s) about Bhakti Saint Ramananda. I. He advocated prabattimarga or path of self-surrender to God. II. He propagated ‘Dvaita or dualism of Jivatma and Paramatma’.

The correct answer is: Only II.

Ramanand was a 15th-century Indian Bhakti saint who advocated the path of devotion to God. He was a follower of Ramanujacharya, the founder of the Sri Vaishnava sect of Hinduism. Ramanand’s teachings emphasized the importance of love and devotion to God, and he is credited with spreading the message of Bhakti to all castes and social classes.

The statement “He propagated ‘Dvaita or dualism of Jivatma and Paramatma'” is incorrect. Ramanand was a follower of Ramanujacharya, who taught the doctrine of Visistadvaita, or qualified non-duality. Visistadvaita holds that Brahman, the Supreme Being, is one and eternal, but that it also has a multiplicity of attributes. The individual soul (jiva) is also eternal, but it is not separate from Brahman. The jiva is Brahman in a limited or qualified form.

Ramanand’s teachings were highly influential, and he is considered one of the most important figures in the history of Bhakti in India. His teachings continue to be practiced by millions of Hindus around the world.
