Lives and philosophies, as well as spiritual practices advocated by the founders of the major Vaishnava philosophical schools: Ramanuja, Nimbarka, Madhva, Vallabha, and Chaitanya.
This I have seen in life -- those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at every step; those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only disgrace; and those who are always afraid of loss, always lose.
-Swami Vivekananda
