Abstract
Poetry has been a powerful vehicle of expression for several men and women in the world of literature. Bhakti or devotion to God is a deep personal feeling and an expression of one’s spiritual or mystical experience. There are plethora of poet-seers in India and women had to suffer even to find a place in Bhakti cult as it is also patriarchal. Women had to debate with men and had to be stubborn to demonstrate their devotion through poetry. Through their devotional poetry women have not only expressed their piety but also raised their voice against several biases’ existent in the then society. Women personally have adopted unique ways to express themselves. This paper unleashes seer women poets in pre-colonial and colonial India who composed in the regional language deliberately breaking the literary and the religious hold of Sanskrit.
