The Bhakti Movement led to significant results. Firstly, it was as widespread religious upheaval. However, Kabir, Nanak and Chaitanya were its chief exponents; there were several other preachers to play part in it. Saints like Ramananda, Vallabhacharya, and Namadeva left large following. The movement covered all parts of India, north and south. Thus it developed and all-India base.

Secondly, the Bhakti Movement was not as movement of the wise few, but of the wider mass. It is said that after Buddhism, the Bhakti cult saw the next most popular religious awakening. Since it touched the people of all sections, its effect was lasting. The most ignorant could think of getting God by uttering His Name.

Thirdly, the movement supplied incentive of social reforms in Hindu society. The caste system became less rigid. Social differences got reduced. Hatred of man for man received a sever blow. A sense of social unity developed. Orthodox religious practices lost merit. Religious received as simpler form. Devotion gave an easier meaning to it.

Fourthly, the distance between Islam and Hinduism got reduced. Instead of quarreling over outer things, Hindu and Muslims understood the inner meaning of their religions. While the Hindus paid respect to the Muslim Saints, the Muslims enjoyed the Hindu ceremonies. A new cult, famous as the cult of Satya Pir, appeared. It was founded by King Husain Shah of Jaunpur. Both Hindus and Muslims worshiped the Satya Pir. This kind of harmony and Hindu-Muslim unity prepared ground for as liberal political era under the great Mughals.
