Abhishiktananda, born Henri Le Saux, was a French-born Indian monk. He moved to India in 1948 in search of a more radical form of spiritual life, adopted sannyasa in accordance with Indian tradition, and became one of the pioneers of Hindu-Christian dialogue.
Multiple contacts with prominent saints such as Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Gnanananda Giri, and Sri H.W.L. Poonja led him to profound advaitic experience as well as to final recognition of the truth of advaita during the last years of his life.
