In Bhakti traditions, which two broad types of worship are mentioned?
Saguna and Nirguna
The Bhakti movement broadly recognises two types of devotion to the divine:
Saguna Bhakti — devotion to god ‘with form and attributes’, e.g. Vishnu (Rama, Krishna) or Shiva. Major saints include Tulsidas, Mirabai, Surdas and Chaitanya.
Nirguna Bhakti — devotion to a formless, attribute-less divine. Major saints include Kabir, Guru Nanak and Dadu Dayal.
Hence, the correct answer is Saguna and Nirguna.
