Early Indologistsconsidered bhakti as an unbridled and irrepressible feeling which is incontrast with jñāna (knowledge) or rational knowledge of God.However Hindu sages and scholars, such as Śankra and Rāmānuja,never considered jñāna and bhakti detached from each other, butbelieved that these two are always complementary.
