Certainly!!!

I lay a few of them here for your attention:

Swami Vivekananda - A major figure in the Hindu reform movement and disciple of the great Spiritual master Ramakrishna Paramahansa.

Swami Sivananda Saraswati - A Hindu spiritual teacher and well known proponent of Yoga and Vedanta.

Paramahansa Yogananda - Founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship and Father of Yoga in the West.

Mahatama Gandhi - Student and proponent of Hindu philosophy

We could quite easily expand the list of Prominent Hindus to include any individual who practices a form of Yoga whether it is called Yoga or not.

There are people in the west who are true Hindus by their Single-minded devotion to a spiritual cause (Bhakti Yoga), or by their Depth of Concentration in numerous endeavors (Dharana Yoga), Selfless Service to others (Karma Yoga), practice of health and bodily control (Hatha Yoga), Observance of Truth (Satya Yoga) and so on.......!!!

We must remember that Hinduism is not really a religion in the formal sense of the word but an ancient spiritual tradition.
