no one....Shri sri ravishankar comes close though...most other just look phony, out there to make money....i think if we really want to enhance the image of Hinduism, we have to work on its reform. We, the common man...

The 'saints' that you have listed are not saints. It is not so easy to become a saint. Besides, It is as difficult to comprehend a saint as it is to God Himself. A saint neither enhances the image of a particular religion, nor is he also interested in enhancing his own image . He just works for those who need his help, no religions barred.
So don't expect a right answer to this question.
Saints do not practice any religion. They show us the path. What we should practice is, what a true saint tells us to practice.
The same saint can tell two different things to two different persons on two different occasions. It is decided by the saint based on one's spiritual standing, which is different from person to person.
So instead of rating these persons, we should try to find a true saint, who will not teach us religion, but give us the elementary knowledge on God, soul and the world.

In any country there will be Police and Judiciary for enforcing Law and Justice. They are there only to punish the people who violate. Such percentage is always negligible.
Out of total population 98 to 99 % are law abiding. For them Police and Judiciary is not relevant and required.
Similarly majority of the people follow Dharma on their own and practise it. Very few people approach such preachers and will appear in media. These people can not be stated that they are enhancing the image of Hinduism.
If at all we have to name any one it must be the Adi Sankara who travelled the length and breadth of the country and propagated the Advaita philosophy and established Sanatana Dharma driving away Buddhism from the country.
All the saints who preach today have to necessarily refer to AdiShankara in support of all their preaching.
The real national integration and follow of Sanatana Dharma was brought by him alone. The people from down south go to Banaras, Badrinath for pilgrimage and people from north come down south to Ramewswaram. The main priest in Badrinath is from Kerala and in Rameswaram from Uttar Pradesh. The thread of Sanatana Dharma is so closely interwoven none can remove it.
Therefore the credit must only go to the people but not to any one else.

Baba Ramdev on TV.
You on the net.
Hinduism is such a great religion , that it does not require any image enhancement . Of course human mind is very forgetful and the same is required to be reminded frequently the truths and glories of living , as available in our religion.

A handful of saints are not enough to enhance any religion.
Its the vast & majority of the public who by their behaviour, & attitude, either enhance or destroy the image.
The saints will always expose their exemplary behaviour while in public. So hw can u pinpoint ????

I'll definately go with Amma. She and her devotees do so much for so many people and she has touched millions upon millions of people's lives. Whenever I talk to many of my nonHindu friends it is Amma that they are most often very interested in learning more about and to whom they seem to the goodness of who she is and the works she and her devotees do. Her devotees' and hers' countless selfless service seems to have an impact on people whether they are Hindu or nonHindu.
But that is just my own humble opinion.
Peace.

Dear AUM,
As far as I am concerned it is only PERIAVAL also called as PARAMACHARIYAL (CHANDRA SEKARENDRA SARASWATHI of Kanchi Sankara math )
He not only preached us but also lived accordingly. I have never come across such a simple living Great person. His DEYVATHIN KURAL alone is more than sufficient to understand our SANATHANA DHARMA.
