The Saints of Bengal By Dr. O.B.L. Kapoor

The Saints of Bengal is a spiritual treasure that delves into the lives, teachings, and divine character of the great saints of Bengal, especially within the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. Authored by renowned scholar O.B.L. Kapoor, this book offers intimate biographical sketches and spiritual insights into saintly personalities such as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Nityananda Prabhu, Advaita Acharya, and others who profoundly impacted the religious landscape of Bengal and beyond.
This volume is not just a historical account, but a devotional journey that inspires readers to reflect on the lives of those who embodied pure bhakti (devotion). It is an essential read for seekers, devotees, and students of Indian spirituality.
This book chronicles the lives of Twenty-five Vaisnavas who lived in Bengal over the last two hundred years. These devotees spent their lives in service to Krishna and His devotees. Some of the devotees are well known, such as Sri Jagannatha Dasa Bhabaji, Sri Gaura kishora Dasa Babaji, and Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati  Thakura; others are less well know. Each brief look into the lives of these great saints and scholars can offer inspiration in devotional service.
