Answer:

Bhakti Movement

The Bhakti Movement refers to the theistic devotional trend that emerged in medieval Hinduism, and later revolutionized into Sikhism. It originated in 8th century South Tamil India, and spread north

Sufism

Sufism had left a prevailing impact on religious, cultural, and social life in South Asia. ... Sufism emerged as a "moral and comprehensive socio-religious force" that even influenced other religious traditions such as Hinduism., Their traditions of devotional practices and modest living attracted all people.

By educating the masses and deepening the spiritual concerns of the Muslims, Sufism has played an important role in the formation of Muslim society. ... Sufis have elaborated the image of the Prophet Muhammad—the founder of Islam—and have thus largely influenced Muslim piety by their Muhammad-mysticism.

Bhakti Movement

In South and Southeast Asia, Buddhist monks were and still are teachers to the people—not only in religious matters but also in the realm of basic education—particularly in Myanmar. Mahayana Buddhism is thought to have spread from both China and India during the first and second century into Southeast Asia. Mahayana took root primarily in maritime Southeast Asia, although there was also a strong influence in Vietnam, in part due to their connection with China.
