Hindu / Buddhist Religion Question - there was once a famous ...?
There was once a famous Sanyasin whose name I'm trying to remember.
He was a rich man I think in mid 20th C. who had a spiritual revelation.
This is why he was famous - when he realized God he gave up all his money, traded all his clothes for one simple monk's robe and spent the next 20-30 + years sitting on the Ganges river bank, saying only one word of prayer over and over, all day and night.
If you already know what is a Sanyasin, then at least that's something! If you googled any of this, then we're glad we got your attention!
Thanks !!

this seems to be either religious people harming other religious or non religious harming religious.
in either case it just is pointless. if you don't believe in religion, you should use your words to change the way people think and that way you also will be giving yourself a chance to learn ....
