Comparative study of literature is an important discipline, which has opened several avenues of studying cultures of different religions, and countries. The world of literature offers opportunities to acquaint ourselves with literature and the genius working at different times and places.

Emerson led the life of a saint who swam naked in the Walden and preached in the street of Boston. A Divinely gifted orator project him as an exponent of a new religious philosophy. Tukaram's religion belief value every individual as representative of the Almighty made him a poet of divine concerns.
