Some other cool dead guys

Brahmabandhab was a cool dead guy. There are a lot of others from a lot of different countries, even a dead woman. We mostly see dead people come alive in films. I am mostly interested in the Hindu dead guys who became Christians, as well as those who remained in the Hindu community but were disciples of Jesus Christ. I have been learning at their feet for some time now.

Here are a couple...



Nilkanth Shastri Goreh... a Hindu Brahmin from Benaras who openly antagonised the missionaries but then later followed Christ after being convinced by one.



Keshub Chandra Sen... the famous Brahmo Samaj leader in 1900's who focused solely on Christ with the Naba Vibhan, Church of the New Dispensation.



Pandita Ramabai Saraswati... the well known Brahmin female social reformer who followed Christ after the death of her husband.



Sadhu Sundar Singh... a mysterious Sikh who followed Christ early in life and later donned the robes of a sadhu.

If you google search any of the names you will find info about them. When I get a chance then I will add some short introductions about them. Many already have written about them so I will link them later.
