  Maha Kaccana
Maha Kaccana's reply is addressed to the householder Haliddikani alone, not to a group of monks, and there is no subsequent confirmation of his exposition by the Buddha at the end of the discourse.
The biographical sketch of Maha Kaccana is taken from the commentary to AN 1: Chap.14, Etadagga Vagga; this is partly paralleled by commentary to Thag., Atthakanipata.
Maha Kaccana, and the reason they were "mostly" observers of the ascetic practices (rather than entirely such) is that he inspired his disciples to undertake such practices by personal example without making them mandatory.

 Ven. Maha Ghosananda
Maha Ghosananda (popularly known as "Cambodia's Gandhi") is a peace activist, winner of the Alternative Peace Prize, nominee for the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize, Buddhist monk, and the Supreme Patriarch of Buddhism in Cambodia.
After the signing of the 1991 peace accord, Maha Ghosananda led the first of the Dhammayietra Walks for Peace and Reconciliation in emulation of Shakyamuni, who led his disciples to places of strife and warfare while practicing meditation and preaching detachment from suffering and the way to peace.

 Maha Kaccana
As in the case of all the Buddha's chief disciples, the Venerable Maha Kaccana's elevation to a position of pre-eminence in the Sangha was the flowering of a seed that had been planted long ago in the rolling cycles of samsara, the round of rebirths, and had been brought to gradual maturity over countless lives.
On one occasion when the Venerable Maha Kaccana visited the Buddha he received special homage from Sakka, the king of the gods.[12] This occurred when the Buddha was dwelling at the Eastern Park at Savatthi, in the Mansion of Migara's Mother.
Maha Kaccana earned this distinguished title principally because of eight suttas found in the Nikayas: three in the Majjhima, three in the Samyutta, and two in the Anguttara.

 Maha Kassapa
Maha Kassapa possessed to the highest degree the ten "qualities that inspire confidence."[2] He was also a model of a disciplined and austere life devoted to meditation.
As there was no consensus, the venerable Maha Kassapa asked the assembly to consider that if they were to abolish rules arbitrarily, the lay followers and the public in general would reproach them for being in a hurry to relax discipline so soon after the Master's death.
The commentaries say that Maha Kassapa was 120 years old at the time of the First Council, but as this chronology would mean that he was forty years older than the Buddha and thus already an old man of at least seventy-five when he met the Master, such a statement is hardly acceptable.

 Digital Camera Accessory Review: Our favorite AA Charger: The Maha/PowerEx C-204W
In part based on our my test results (see the aforementioned Battery Shootout page), Maha has developed a charger that does an even better job of "topping off" batteries than the C-204F did, and added a host of other advancements as well.
Thanks to the advancements that Maha has made, the C-204W has finally taken over the top spot as the charger I most prefer for routine use.
Noting my results, Maha invested a fair amount of effort in revising their charging algorithm, with the aim of developing a charging profile that would deliver true 100% charge capacity in a single unit, without the need for external trickle charging.
