Rāmānanda - Rāma-nanda (English spelling)

Japanese: ラーマーナンダ - らーまーなんだ(英語表記)Rāmānanda
Rāmānanda - Rāma-nanda (English spelling)

An Indian religious leader from the late 14th century to the early 15th century. He was from Allahabad in North India, but belonged to the South Indian Ramanuja sect. He left this sect over the issue of communal eating, and preached bhakti (devotion) to the god Rama, centered in Varanasi in North India. He is said to have been the starting point of the bhakti movement in North India. He ignored caste discrimination and took on disciples from various castes. He himself founded the Ramananda sect, but from among his disciples he gave birth to important sects such as the Kabir sect.

Japanese:

14世紀末~15世紀前半のインドの宗教家。北インドのイラーハーバードの出身であるが、南インドのラーマーヌジャ派に属していた。共食の問題でこの派を離れ、北インドのバーラーナシーを中心に、ラーマ神を崇拝するバクティ(信愛)を説いた。北インドにおけるバクティ運動の出発点は彼であったとされる。カーストによる差別を無視し、種々のカースト出身者を弟子にした。自らラーマーナンダ派の開祖となったが、弟子のなかから、カビール派などの重要な派を生んだ。
