Name a few Bhakti poets from the passage.
The��Bhakti movement��of late medieval Hinduism started in the 7th century, but rapidly expanded after the 12th century.��It was supported by the Puranic literature such as the��Bhagavata Purana, poetic works, as well as many scholarly��bhasyas��and��samhitas.This period saw the growth of Vashnavism Sampradayas (denominations or communities) under the influence of scholars such as��Ramanujacharya,��Vedanta Desika,��Madhvacharya��and��Vallabhacharya.��Bhakti poets or teachers such as��Manavala Mamunigal,��Namdev,��Ramananda,��Sankardev,��Surdas,��Tulsidas,��Eknath,��Tyagaraja,��Chaitanya Mahaprabhu��and many others influenced the expansion of Vaishnavism.Even��Meera��(princess of Mehwar and Rajasthan) took part in this specific movement.��These Vaishnavism sampradaya founders rejected��Shankara's doctrines of Advaita Vedanta, particularly��Ramanuja��in the 12th century,��Vedanta Desika��and��Madhva��in the 13th, building their theology on the devotional tradition of the��Alvars��(Sri Vaishnavas).In North and Eastern India, Vaishnavism gave rise to various late Medieval movements��Ramananda��in the 14th century,��Sankaradeva��in the 15th and��Vallabha��and��Chaitanya��in the 16th century. Historically, it was��Chaitanya Mahaprabhu��who founded congregational chanting of holy names of Krishna in the early 16th century after becoming a��sannyasi.
