They are considered holy because of their loving surrender to God and the Gods, their dedication to our faith, their accomplishments and profound realizations. Their knowing is more important than their learning, their purity more essential than their position. It is very difficult to be so disciplined and devoted, and so we honor and love those who have attained God\u2019s grace, and worship the Divine within them, not their personality or humanness. Because of Hinduism\u2019s great diversity and decentralized organization, holy ones are not universally canonized, for there is no single ecclesiastical hierarchy to do this. Still, saints, sages and satgurus are sanctified by followers within their own samprad\u0101ya. Each within his or her own sphere of devotees is the authority on religious matters, listened to and obeyed as such. The Vedas declare, \u201cNot understanding, and yet desirous to do so, I ask the wise who know, myself not knowing: \u2018Who may He be, the One in the form of the Unborn, who props in their place the six universal regions?\u2019\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Are Hinduism\u2019s Spiritual Leaders? \u015aLOKA 121The saints, sages and satgurus who commune with God and Gods through devotion and meditation are Hinduism\u2019s holy men and women.
