Other Mahājanas
Other mahājanas are exalted devotees, ācāryas, saints, and realized authorities who, although not included among the traditional Twelve Mahājanas, have profoundly influenced the understanding and practice of devotional service. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that anyone who faithfully represents the Supreme Lord through the disciplic succession and lives by His teachings is a genuine spiritual authority worthy of respect and emulation.
This collection organizes his teachings about the names, lives, teachings, and contributions of many such revered personalities—including great devotees, Gosvāmīs, poets, and ācāryas—whose examples continue to illuminate the path of bhakti-yoga.
