Jagadguru Śrī Anantānandācārya was one of the twelve Mahābhāgavat disciples of Bhagavad Śrī Rāmānanda. Among the twelve Mahābhāgavatas, Śrī Anantānandācārya was the incarnation of Lord Brahmā. Śrī Anantānandācārya appeared on Kārtik Pūrṇimā in 1306 CE in the Maheshpur village on the bank of Rāmarekhā river near Ayodhyā in a Brāhmaṇa family.

Among the twelve Mahābhāgavat-disciples of Bhagavad Śrī Rāmānanda, Jagadguru Śrī Sukhānandācārya was the incarnation of Lord Shiva. He had appeared on Vaishākha Shukla Navamī in a Brāhmaṇa family.

In Bhaktmal Pada-64, Śrī Nābhādās Ji tells about him —

भक्ति दान भय हरन भुज सुखानंद पारस परस॥
सुखसागर की छाप राग गौरी रुचि न्यारी।
पद रचना गुरु मंत्र गिरा आगम अनुहारी॥
निसि दिन प्रेम प्रवाह द्रवत भूधर ज्यों निर्झर।
हरि गुन कथा अगाध भाल राजत लीला भर॥
संत कंज पोषन बिमल अति पियूष सरसी सरस।
भक्ति दान भय हरन भुज सुखानंद पारस परस॥
(भक्तमाल, पद - ६४)

Translation — Śrī Sukhānand Jī's arms were the bestower of devotion (bhakti), the remover of fear, and having touch like a touchstone (Pāras), by the touch of which even iron turned into gold, means person facing away from Bhagavān used to immediately turn into a devotee of Bhagavān. Śrī Sukhānand Jī had the impression of Sukhsāgar (the ocean of bliss and happiness), he often used to call Bhagavān Śrī Rāma as Sukhsāgar. [Goswamiji uses the same word Sukhsāgar in Śrī Rāmacaritamānasa for Bhagavān Śrī Rāma – चारिउ रूप शील गुन धामा। तदपि अधिक सुखसागर रामा॥ (~ श्रीरामचरितमानस १.१९८.६) / cāriu rūpa śīla guna dhāmā। tadapi adhika sukhasāgara rāmā॥ (~ śrīrāmacaritamānasa 1.198.6)] Śrī Sukhānand had great interest in Gauri raga. His compositions were like Gurumantra. His speech constantly followed Aagam (Lord Shiva is preceptor of Aagam scriptures). There was a constant flow of love in his heart. In the loving-devotion of Bhagavān, Tears used to fall from his eyes continuously in the same way as the waterfalls keep falling from the mountains. He used to sing the unfathomable stories and qualities of Bhagavān. His head was ever adorned with the weight of the blessing hands of Bhagavān. If Saints are lotuses, then Śrī Sukhānand Jī was like the pond of nectar to nourish them with nectarine stories of Bhagavān. (Śrī Bhaktmāl, Pad - 64)

Jagadguru Śrī Sursurānandācārya was one of the twelve Mahābhāgavat disciples of Bhagavad Śrī Rāmānanda. Among the twelve Mahābhāgavatas, Śrī Sursurānandācārya was the incarnation of Devarshi Nārada. He appeared on Vaishakha Kṛṣṇa Navamī in a Brāhmaṇa family.

In Bhaktmal Pada-65, Śrī Nābhādās Ji tells his fame —

महिमा महाप्रसाद की सुरसुरानंद साँची करी॥
एक समै अध्वा चलत वाक छल बरा सुपाये।
देखा देखी सिष्य तिनहूँ पीछे ते खाये॥
तिन पर स्वामी खिजे बमन करि बिन बिस्वासी।
तिन तैसे प्रत्यच्छ भूमि पर कीनी रासी॥
सुरसुरी सुबर पुनि उदगले पुहुप रेनु तुलसी हरी।
महिमा महाप्रसाद की सुरसुरानंद साँची करी॥
(भक्तमाल, पद - ६५)

Translation — Śrī Sursurānand Jī Mahārāj proved the glory of Mahāprasād as true. Once, while walking on the path, Śrī Sursurānand was offered Curd-Vada in name of the Mahāprasād of Bhagavān Śrī Rama by someone, in reality it was not Mahāprasād. He accepted it thinking it to be Prasād, and thought even if it is not Prasād, his Prasād-Buddhi will turn it into Prasād only. Seeing him accepting the Vada, his disciples also accepted the Vada and ate it. However, Śrī Sursurānand jI didn't like their action and said – “Why did you do this? It is not necessary to follow whatever a guru does, rather they should do whatever the guru says. Guru's actions should not be imitated. Guru's words should be followed.” Then Sursuranandji said to them – “I believed it to be Mahāprasād, so I accepted it, but You people ate it for being delicious item. You should vomit out, You people didn’t have Prasād-Buddhi in it.” They vomitted the same Curd-Vada on the empty ground. When Śrī Sursurānandācārya Jī, the virtuous consort of Sursurījī, vomitted, only flowers and green basil came out from his mouth on the empty ground. Due to his Prasād-Buddhi, It was no longer a Dahi-Vada. Due to BhagVat Prasad, the flower offered at the Lord's feet, the pollen of the flower offered at the Lord's feet and the green basil offered at the Lord's feet were present there. This way Śrī Sursurānand proved the glory of Mahāprasād as true. All glories to Śrī Sursurānand Jī and the Mahāprasād of Bhagavān! (Śrī Bhaktmāl, Pad - 65)

A king who renounced everything and became a great Bhagavad-bhakt Saint after seeing the divinity of Bhagavad Śrī Rāmānand

Among the twelve Mahābhāgavat-disciples of Bhagavad Śrī Rāmānand, Jagadguru Śrī Pīpācārya was the incarnation of Svāyambhuva-Manu Mahārāj, and His wife Śrīmatī Sītā Sahacarī jī was the incarnation of Shatrupā Jī the wife of Svāyambhuva-Manu. Before taking Virakta Dīkshā from Bhagavad Śrī Rāmānand, He was a great King named Pratāp Singh Rāo 'Khīnchī' Chauhān (who became renowned as Pīpā Jī after Virakt-Deekshā) of Gagaraun Gadh fort in Jhālāwar, Rajasthān.

He was born on the Chaitra Purnima in CE 1323. Since beginning, He was an ardent devotee of Ādishakti Mātā Bhavānī (Durgā). (He was victorious in the war with Ferozeshāh Tughlaq who ruled Delhi Sultanate from CE 1335-1388). The king Pratāp Singh Rāo 'Khīnchī' Chauhān had 12 queens, the youngest of them was Śrīmatī Smriti Bāī Solankī (renowned as Sītā Sahchari after Vaishnavī Deekshā) who was greatly religious and devoted to her husband.

Once a group of saints passed by his city. The king duly welcomed them and prayed please come and receive the Prasād of Mātā Bhavānī. Those Saints told the king that they have taken a vow to eat the Prasād of Bhagavān only. Therefore, King sent them all the ingredients for the worship of Bhagavān and for the food-preparation. The saints greatly praised him and accepted everything. They prepared Bhog and offered to Bhagavān and prayed in their hearts - O Lord! Please turn the heart of this king towards You, and make him your devotee.

The king got a very frightening unpleasant dream that night, in which He saw a giant ghost slammed him along with his bed on the ground and the king started crying out of fear. As soon he woke up, the king went to the temple of the goddess and beseeched 'O mother! Please save me, Please bestow liberation to me!' Hearing his cry, The goddess Durgā instantly appeared before him and gave him her divine Darshan, and asked what is the reason for his fear and cry?

The king narrated the story of his dream (this world is also like a dream) and prayed to the divine mother to bestow liberation to him. The Goddess Durgā said - O son! ask for something else like wealth, opulence, etc. However, The King said - Now I have lost all the likings for wealth and opulence, I need liberation only. The Goddess said with all love - 'O Son! I am not capable to bestow You liberation. It is attained only through the grace of Bhagavān, Only Śrī Hari is the bestower of liberation to Jivas'. This was a completely new thing for the King. Hearing it from his most beloved deity, The King got liking for the devotion of Śrī Hari since that very moment.

The king asked the Goddess "O Mother! How will I get Bhagavān Śrī SītāRām?"

Deviji replied "O son! Go to Kāshī and become the disciple of Bhagavad Śrī Rāmānandjī, then You will surely get the Supreme personality of godhead, Śrī Hari !"

After receiving the instruction of the Goddess, the king with his youngest queen Śrīmatī Smriti Bāī Solankī, departed to Kāshī with a great eagerness and desire to get the Darshan of Bhagavad Śrī Rāmānand.

Bhagavad Śrī Rāmānand accepted the King and the queen in his refuge and given them Śrī Rām-mantra Deekshā with all the Vaishnava Samskāras, and thus made them his disciples, He showered a lot of love over the King. By the grace of their Gurudev, profound Bhagavad-bhakti arose in the hearts of the King and queen from that very moment.

Among the twelve Mahābhāgavat-disciples of Bhagavad Śrī Rāmānanda, Jagadguru Śrī Bhāvānandācārya was the incarnation of Śrī Janak Mahārāja. He appeared on Vaiśhākha Kṛṣṇa Ṣhaṣhṭhī in a Brāhmaṇa family.

*Bhaktmāl - literally means the garland of devotees, composed during CE 1585-1623 by Śrī Nābhādāsa (CE 1531-1631), the disciple of one of the most renowned Vaiṣṇava-Saint Śrī Agradevāchārya (CE 1497-1601), belonging to the great Śrī Rāmānanda-Sampradāya. Śrī Nābhādāsa was born on Māgha-Shukla-Pañcamī (on the fifth day of the bright half of the Māgha Month) in the Year CE 1531 in a Mahārāṣhtrian Brāhmiṇa family.

        Śrī Priyādās of Śrī Chaitanya (Gaudiya-)Sampradāya wrote his most famous commentary 'Bhakti-rasa-bodhinī' on the 'Bhaktmāl' by CE 1712. In the beginning in his 'Bhakti-ras-bodhinī' commentary, Śrī Priyādās mentions - one day He was meditating upon Śrī Chaitanya-Mahāprabhu, then in his meditation, Śrī Nābhādās appeared and inspired him to write a commentary on Bhaktmāl. (Śrī Priyādās was not contemporary to Śrī Nābhādās, they belonged to different times, therefore Śrī Priyādās must have heard the divine glory of Śrī Nābhādās from the saints of Vṛndāvana.)

In the introduction of Śrī Nābhādās, Śrī Priyādāsa writes Śrī Nābhādās was born (had birth) in the illustrious Hanumān-Vansha (People are perplexed with the name 'Hanumān-Vansha', हनुमान-वंश में ही जनम प्रशंस जाको - Śrī Priyādāsa here indicates Śrī Nābhādās had spiritual-birth in the illustrious Śrī Rāmānanda-Sampradāya [Śrī-Sampradāya] in which the first āchārya Śrī Sītā gave mantra to Śrī Hanumān in the guru-Paramparā. Some commentators say He was born in the illustrious Hanumān-Vansha of Mahārāṣhtrian Brāhmiṇ caste.) He appeared without eyes, a blind since birth (भयो दृगहीन सो नवीन बात धारिये). When He became 5 Years old, there occured a great famine in Mahārāṣhtra, which forced his parents to abandon the blind-child in forest. The blind-child was left without any shelter. One day, Śrī Agradevāchārya (Agradās, CE 1497-1601) and his elder guru-brother Śrī Kīladevāchārya (Kīlhadāsa, CE 1459 - 1560), the two very accomplished sages and the disciples of Śrī Kṛṣṇadās Payahārī, were passing by that forest, Śrī Nābhādās was found by them in the forest at the age of 5 Years. 

Śrī Kīlhadās asked - Child! Who are You?
The Child said - Mahārāj! I don't know who I am !  

Śrī Kīlhadās asked - What is your name?
The Child said - ātmā has no name, which name should I say?

Śrī Kīlhadās asked - Who are your parents?
The Child said -  The one who is father and mother of all, He is my parents.

Śrī Kīlhadās further asked - from where have you come here? The Child said - I have come from the same, from where all Jivas come. Only my Karma has brought me here in this situation. (Actually one gets birth as per his own Karmas.)

Such deep spiritual replies from just a 5 years old child amazed them. They immediately knew this is some extraordinary child, who has taken birth to do some divine work. Therefore, Śrī Kīlhadāsa took some water from his Kamaṇdalu and sprinkled it over the child, and to all amazement, The blind-child got eyesight. The first time He opened eyes in the world, and whom he saw first in this world from his eyes were the two saints, Śrī Kīlhadāsa (Śrī Kīladevāchārya) and (his Gurudeva) Śrī Agradāsa (Śrī Agradevāchārya), therefore Śrī Nābhādās got a great devotion in the lotus feet of all the saints devoted to Bhagavān. After opening his eyes and seeing those two saints before him, the child fell down into their lotus feet and started crying. They gave Prasādam to the child and brought him to their hermitage Gālavāshrama (in present day the greatly renowned Galtā-peeth), which was once the hermitage of ancient Gālava Muni. Śrī Kīlhadāsa requested his younger guru-brother, Śrī Agradevāchārya to shower his grace over the child, take him in his care and give him Śrī Rāma-Mantrarāj.

  Śrī Agradevāchārya was an accomplished sage, who used to worship Bhagavān Śrī Śrī SītāRāma in the Sakhī-Bhāva (in Mādhuryopāsanā). He gave Śrī Rāma-mantrarāj Deekshā to the child, a Vaiṣṇava name 'Śrī Nārāyaṇa-dāsa, therefore Śrī Nābhādās became a great devotee of saints and devotees. In the Gālavāshrama, the child became engaged in the devotional-services of Bhagavān Śrī Śrī SītāRām, his Gurudeva Śrī Agradevāchārya, and all incoming saints. They all became pleased with faithful Kaiṅkaryam (devotional-service) performed devoutly by Śrī Nābhādās Ji. His Bhakti in the lotus feet of Bhakt and Bhagavān gave him divine-sight. 

(Priyādāsa narrates the story of how Śrī Nābhādāsa got divine-sight and order to compose Bhaktmāl -) Śrī Agradās was always engaged in the devotional service of Bhagavān. Once Śrī Agradāsa was doing Mānasī-seva (devotional-services in meditation) of Priyā-Priyatam Bhagavān Śrī SītāRāma with his Bhāva-deha; and Śrī Nābhādāsa was engaged in the devotional-service of fanning his Gurudeva. That time, a disciple of Śrī Agradāsa was travelling through sea, his ship was caught into the violent storms in sea, and the disciple in danger immediately remembered the lotus feet of his gurudeva Śrī Agradāsa Ji. As soon as He remembered, It caused a pause (disturbance) in the divine Mānasī-seva of Priyā-Priyatam by Śrī Agradāsa. Śrī Nābhādās immediately knew everything, and therefore to let his Gurudeva continue his Mānasī-seva of Priyā-Priyatam without any pause, Śrī Nābhādās used the force of the air of his fan to make that ship safely come out of that storm, and Śrī Nābhādās said to his Gurudeva in meditation, Guru please continue to serve Priyā-Priyatam SītāRāma again as that Ship has safely come out the danger. Guru opened his eyes and asked - Who did say it? Śrī Nābhādāsa bowed into the lotus feet of his gurudeva and answered - Dear Guru ji, It is me,  Your servant Whom you have nurtured by feeding him Prasād. 

It was a pleasant surprise to his gurudeva, Śrī Agradevāchārya. He thought in his mind that now Nābhādāsa has become an accomplished sage and reached to such a position that just while sitting here, he could see and know everything happening in the distant sea. He became very happy, knowing his disciple Nābhādāsa has got the divya-dṛṣṭi (divine sight) from the Seva-Bhakti and Prasāda of Saints. As Nābhādāsa could know all the matter what's going inside the mind of his Gurudeva, therefore since then He became renowned as Nābhā who could see unknown and hidden things in the navel (Nābhi).

Śrī Agradevāchārya said to Nābhādāsa "Son! You have got the divine sight from the mercy of saints, therefore now You should sing the glory of Bhaktas, their stories, and the divine-Bhāvas of their heart."

Śrī Nābhādāsa said to his gurudeva "Guru ! I can sing the glories of Bhagavān Śrī Rāma-Śrī Kṛṣṇa, but It is very difficult to fathom the life-stories of Bhakts, as those are very mysterious."

Then Śrī Agradevāchārya said "Bhagavān who showed you everything happening in the distant sea, He will enter in your heart and reveal all divine-stories of his devotees. You can see their life-story." 

This way Śrī Priyādāsa narrated where and how Nābhādāsa received the inspiration to compose Bhaktmāla, the divine glories of the devotees of Bhagavān.

Śrī Malookadāsa is one of the most renowned saints of Śrī Rāmānanda-Sampradāya. Everyone has heard this couplet of Śrī Malookadāsa—
अजगर करै न चाकरी पक्षी करै न काम ।
'दास मलूका' कहत है सब के दाता राम ॥७४॥
It is from Malook-shatakam authored by Jagadguru Śrī Malookadāsa. Śrī Malookadāsa preached Śrī Bhagavān takes care of Prapanna-Bhāgavatas as like Mārjāri (mother-cat) takes care of its kittens.

Śrī Malookadāsa appeared on Vaiśhākha Kṛṣṇa Panchamī in Vikram Samvat 1631 i.e. CE 1574 in Kada near Prayāgarāj, His father was Śrī Sundaradāsa Kakkad and mother was Śrīmatī Sarala Devī. He was the disciple of Jagadguru Śrī Murārīdevāchārya.
