CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Anich (1486 - 1534), was a monk and a socialreformer of Eastern India in the 16th century. (present-day Bangladesh and statesof West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa of India). Sri Krishna Chaitanya wasa notable proponent for the Vaishnava school of Bhakti Yog based on thephilosophy of the Bhagavata Purana and Bhagavad Gita. Specifically he worshippedthe forms of Radha and Krishna and popularised the chanting of the Hare Krishnamahamantra. His line of followers, known as Gaudiya Vaishnavas, revere him as anavatar of Krishna in the mood of Radharani. He was also sometimes referred to bythe names Gaura (Sanskrit for golden one) due to his light skin complexion, andNimai due to his being born underneath a Neem tree.
Chaitanyas life
According to the biography, Chaitanya Charitmrita, Nimi appeared on thefull moon night of February 18 1486 at the time of a lunar eclipse. His parentsnamed him Visvambhar - He was the second son of Jagannath Mishra and hiswife Sachi Devi who lived in the town of Navadwip in Nadia, West Bengal.
In his youth, Chaitanya Mahprabhu was primarily known as an erudite scholar,whose learning and skills in argumentation in his locality were second to none. A
number of stories also exist telling of Chaitanyas apparent attraction to the chantingand singing of Krishnas names from a very young age, but largely this was perceivedas being secondary to his interest in acquiring knowledge and studying Sanskrit.When traveling to Gaya to perform the shraddha ceremony for His departed father,Chaitanya met his guru, the ascetic Ishvara Puri, from whom he received initiationwith the Gopala Krishna mantra. This meeting was to mark a significant change inMahprabhus outlook and soon he became an eminent leader of the Vaishnavagroup within Nadiya.
After leaving Bengal and receiving entrance into the sannysa order by KeshavaBharati, Chaitanya journeyed throughout the length and breadth of India for severalyears, chanting the divine Names of Krishna constantly. He spent the last 24 yearsof His life in Puri, Orissa, the great temple-city of Jagannth. The SuryavanshiHindu emperor of Orissa, Gajapati Maharaja Prataparudra Dev, regarded Chaitanyaas Krishnas incarnattion and was an enthusiastic patron and devotee of hissankeertan party. It was during these years that Lord Chaitanya is believed by His

Swami Yogananda (1861-1899), whose original name was Jogindranath Chowdhury
belonged to an aristocratic family that had declined. His father was a devout Brahminand he was devoted to religious affairs from a young age. Popular as Jogin, hecame in touch with Sri Ramakrishna when still at school but his family did notapprove of this association and forced him into marriage.
Jogin was one of the six disciples whom Sri Ramakrishna regarded as ishvarakotis.(An ishvarakoti is a godlike soul who is eternally free from the bondage of karma,and who allows himself to be born simply to do good to humanity.) He was spirituallyinclined from boyhood. He first met the Master when he was studying for school
final examination. Since he lived in the neighbourhood of Kali Temple, he startedvisiting Sri Ramakrishna frequently. Yogananda lived an ideal life and taught by hisexample. He did not lecture or do any spectacular work. Although born into a richfamily and married, he demonstrated how to practice renunciation and purity.
After the Masters passing on, Jogin accompanied Holy Mother on her pilgrimageto Varanasi and Ayodhya and then reached Vrindaban. It was in Vrindaban, one daySri Ramakrishna appeared before her and asked her to give Jogin formal initiation.Jogin also, in a vision, received similar instructions from the Master. Shortly afterMother initiated him and Jogin thus became her first initiated disciple. After hisreturn from the pilgrimage he joined Baranagar Math and took the vows of sannyasa,assuming the new name Yogananda. However, he dedicated his life to the serviceof Holy Mother. Whenever Mother visited Kolkata, Swami Yogananda would arrangefor Mothers accommodation, usually in rented premises, and stayed with her tolook after her needs. He also spent some time in Varanasi and other places doingsevere austerities which told on his health.
When Swami Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Mission on 1 May 1897, hemade Yogananda its Vice-President (Swami Brahmananda was made thePresident). Owing to his delicate health, he did not live long. He passed away on28 March 1899 at the age of 38, causing much sorrow to Holy Mother and the otherdisciples of Sri Ramakrishna. Swami Yogananda was the first disciple of the Master,to die. Grief stricken, Swamiji (Swami Vivekananda) remarked A beam is downand now the rafters will fall one after another.
