Spiritual Poetry in India

But what a change in India. Once religious or spiritual poetry held the first place (Tukaram, Mirabai, Tulsidas, Surdas, the Tamil Alwars and Shaiva poets, and a number of others) – and now spiritual poetry is not poetry, altogether অচল [acala]! But luckily things are সচল [sacala] and the movability may bring back an older and sounder feeling.
