Chaitanya

Chaitanya, represented the mad love of the Gopis. 

Himself a Brahmin, born of one of the most rationalistic families of the day, himself a professor of logic fighting and gaining a word-victory -- for, this he had learnt from his childhood as the highest ideal of life and yet through the mercy of some sage the whole life of that man became changed; 
he gave up his fight, his quarrels, his professorship of logic and became one of the greatest teachers of Bhakti the world has ever known -- mad Chaitanya. 

His Bhakti rolled over the whole land of Bengal, bringing solace to every one.
