Abstract The Bhakti movement brought a major change in Indian society by challenging strict religious rules and caste-based discrimination. Sant Kabir (c. 1440–1518 CE) and Sant Ravidas (c. 1450–1520 CE) were two important saints who helped make spiritual knowledge open to all. They rejected rituals, blind traditions, and caste superiority, and instead taught devotion, equality, and humanity. Through simple language and easy devotional songs, they made spiritual ideas understandable for common people. Their teachings shifted spirituality from priest‑controlled rituals to personal experience and moral values. Within the Indian Knowledge Systems, their ideas helped create a more equal, accessible, and democratic form of spiritual learning. Knowledge in India was to small group of people and controlled by strict rules, rituals and caste division and faith are more important than rituals and social status Sant Kabir and Sant Ravidas were important sants of this movement who worked for equality in spiritual life. They spoke against the cast discrimination and religions narrow thinking. By teaching in common languages and using simple songs and poem (i.e. Doha), they help people to understand spiritual ides easily. They believed that God lives in every person and that everyone has the right to spiritual knowledge their teachings made spirituality open to all and helped create a more equal and humane society, within the Indian Knowledge Systems, their ideas played a strong role in spreading equality and freedom.
