Medieval India: Bhakti Sufi Traditions

Question:

Which of the following is NOT true about the Nirguna category of Bhakti Tradition?

Options:

Focus on the worship of specific deities such as Agni & Indra.

Worship of an abstract form of god

Nirguna means without attributes.

Both 1 and 2

Correct Answer:

Focus on the worship of specific deities such as Agni & Indra.

Explanation:

historians of religion often classify bhakti traditions into two broad categories: saguna (with attributes) and nirguna (without attributes). The former included traditions that focused on the worship of specific deities such as Shiva, Vishnu and his avatars (incarnations) and forms of the goddess or Devi, all often conceptualised in anthropomorphic forms. Nirguna bhakti on the other hand was worship of an abstract form of god.
