It is generally belived that religion is not independent of philosophy. The two terms- Religion and Philosophy are interwoven. But, this concept of interconnectedness between the two terms is sometimes not valid in western domain of philosophical tradition. In the west a philosophical tradition may developed without any affiliation to religion. However, the case is not same in oriental tradition except a few. Oriental philosophical traditions developed in the fertile soil of religion. On the other hand, the Bhakti Movement which swept across north-south, east-west provinces of medieval India helped in the growth and the development of several schools of philosophy.1 It is to be mentioned that prior to the advent of Vaishnava Movement (Bhakti Movement), Sankaracharya established the most famous philosophical tradition – Adaitavada.
