Gautam Budhha

His teachings expounded in Buddhism, are immensely popular in Burma, China, Japan and other South Eastern Countries.The Buddha was born in 563 B.C. as Siddhartha to Shuddhodana the king of Kapilavastu in Nepal. Siddhartha was made to lead a very sheltered life as the astrologers had predicted that he would give up worldly pleasures. For 45 years, Buddha spread his message of a spiritual life. He did not believe in rituals but pointed to an 8 - fold path towards salvation - that of right speech, understanding, determination, deeds, efforts, awareness, thinking and living. 

Maharishi Patanjali
Patanjali, undoubtedly the greatest expounder of Yoga, lived sometime between 500 and 200 B.C. The life of Patanjali is an enigma to modern historians, and almost nothing is known about this great Master who epitomizes Yoga. It is only with the help of legends that one can draw inferences about him. Undoubtedly he was a great Yoga adept and was perhaps the head of a school in which “Swadhyaya”, study of the Self, was regarded as an important aspect of spiritual practice. The Indian Tradition however, differs in opinion strongly and advocates that the above different treatises were done by a single person and even further,  attributes various medical treatises to him.

Acharya Rajneesh (Osho)
Osho was born Chandra Mohan Jain at his maternal grandparents' house in Kuchwada, a small village in the Raisen District of Madhya Pradesh state in India, as the eldest of eleven children of a cloth merchant. Osho developed new forms of active meditation. The best known is Dynamic Meditation which often starts with strenuous physical activity followed by silence and celebration.
