"ALWAYS THINK OF ME,BECOME MY DEVOTEE,WORSHIP ME AND OFFER YOUR HOMAGE TO ME,THUS

Some Great Modern day Saints of India


Swami Vivekananda
Swami Vivekananda (January 12, 1863 – July 4, 1902), whose pre-monastic name was
Narendranath Dutta (Narendranath Dut-tta), was one of the most famous and influential
spiritual leaders of the philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga. He was the chief disciple of
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and the founder of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna
Mission. He is a major figure in the history of the Hindu reform movements. While he is
widely credited with having uplifted his own nation, India, he simultaneously introduced
Yoga and Vedanta to America and England with his seminal lectures and private discourses
on Vedanta philosophy. Vivekananda was the first known Hindu Sage to come to the West,
where he introduced Eastern thought at the World's Parliament of Religions, in connection
with the World's Fair in Chicago, in 1893. Here, his first lecture, which started with this line
"Sisters and Brothers of America," made the audience clap for two minutes just to the
address, for prior to this seminal speech, the audience was always used to this opening
address: "Ladies and Gentlemen". It was this speech that catapulted him to fame by his
wide audiences in Chicago and then later everywhere else in America, including far-flung
places such as Memphis, Boston, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, and St. Louis.

Swami Parmahansa Yogananda
Paramahaṃsa Yogānaṃda; January 5, 1893–March 7, 1952), born Mukunda Lal Ghosh
(Bengali: মুকুন লাল োঘাষ Mukundo Lal Ghosh), was an Indian yogi and guru who introduced
many westerners to the teachings of meditation and Kriya Yoga through his book,
Autobiography of a Yogi.
Yogananda taught his students the need for direct experience of truth, as opposed to blind
belief. He said that “The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition
is the soul’s power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know
God. Echoing traditional Hindu teachings, he taught that the entire universe is God's cosmic
motion picture, and that individuals are merely actors in the divine play who change roles
through reincarnation. He taught that mankind's deep suffering is rooted in identifying too
closely with one's current role, rather than with the movie's director, or God. He taught Kriya
Yoga and other meditation practices to help people achieve that understanding, which he
called self-realization: Self-realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that
you are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that you do not have to pray that it come
to you; that God’s omnipresence is your omnipresence; and that all that you need to do is
improve your knowing.

A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

1.
Sanskrit: अभयचरणारिवनद भिकतवेदानत सवामीपभुपाद, abhaya-caraṇāravinda bhakti-vedānta svāmī
prabhupāda, (September 1, 1896–November 14, 1977), was the founder of the International
Society for Krishna Consciousness a movement to propagate Gaudiya Vaishnavism of
Hinduism, not only in India, but also throughout the whole world, a devotional yoga tradition
that is popularly known as the "Hare Krishna". Born as Abhay Charan De, in Calcutta he
was educated at the prestigious local Scottish Churches College. Before adopting the life of
a pious renunciate, vanaprastha, in 1950, he was married with children and owned a small
pharmaceutical business. He later took a vow of renunciation, sannyasa, in 1959 and
started writing commentaries on Vaishnava scriptures. In his later years, as a traveling
Vaishnava sadhu, he became an influential communicator of Gaudiya Vaishnava theology to
India and specifically to the West through his leadership of the International Society for
Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), founded in 1966. As the founder of ISKCON, he has
"emerged as a major figure of the Western counterculture, initiating thousands of young
Americans." Despite attacks from the anticult groups, he received a favorable welcome from
many religious scholars, such as J. Stillson Judah, Harvey Cox, Larry Shinn and Thomas
Hopkins, who praised Prabhupada's translations and defended the group against distorted
media images and misinterpretations. In respect to his achievements, religious leaders from
other Gaudiya Vaishnava movements have also given him the credit.[13] He has been
described as a charismatic leader, in the sense used by the sociologist Max Weber, as he
was successful in acquiring followers in the United States, Europe, India and elsewhere.
As such his Hare Krishna movement is accepted by the academics as "the most genuinely
Hindu of all the many Indian movements in the West".
