The cult of bhakti was followed by a host saints of northern India. The moving spirit were Ramananda; Kabir; Nanak; Chaitanya and others. The Bhakti movement associated with the southern group was more scholastic than popular; which was not the case with the northern group. The bhaktas of the latter group did not ponder over the subtle questions of metaphysics. They were essentially ecletic; broad-minded and latitudinarian in their views and outlook. Ramanuja (twelfth century): The earliest exponent of the Bhakti movement was the great Vaishnava teacher Ramanuja who flourished in the early years fo the twelfth century in the South. The next leader of th Bhakti movement was Nimarbaka; a contemporary of Ramanuja. He believed in the philosophy of Vishistadvaita and laid emphasis on surrender to God.

This Book Has Some Interesting Information And Interesting Pictures.By WilliamThis book has some interesting pictures and some interesting information. Here are some the facts that his book mentions. In 1863; Juan B. Castro laid out the town of Castroville. Mr. Castro donated land for public use and established a lottery to give 100 lots away. In 1866; retired seafarer Captain Charles Moss moved his family from Texas and built a homestead near what was to become Moss Landing. Noted architect William Weeks had his architectural career launched in Watsonville in the early part of the 1890’s decade. In his first 18 years of practice; he designed and supervised the construction of over 1;000 buildings. He was awarded contracts to build churches; homes; commercial buildings; and schools in the Monterey Bay Region. The town name Aromas was derived from the Las Armomitas y Agua Caliente rancho. There is a picture in the book of Marilyn Monroe signing autographs for fans while she was in Castroville. In appreciation; they crowned her honorary artichoke queen for 1948.
