Bhaktisiddhanta
Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada
On the order of his father and substantial Guru, Bhaktivinoda Thakura, he began the revolutionary preaching activities of Gaudiya Matha. As his mission grew he acknowledged, "I was alone in my bhajana; now I have five hundred men who represent me, and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's creed of divine love is rapidly expanding everywhere." Rather than hide from the modern world and its allurement, he embraced technology in the spirit of service (yukta-vairagya) with a willingness to employ everything in the service of Sri Guru and Gauranga. His philosophy of service is condensed in these words: pujala raga patha gorava bhange, matala harijana visaya range: keep the path of raga-marga high above, don't try to bring the higher plane down, but worship it by doing whatever is necessary for their divine service. At the same time his vision of service was unlimited. He wanted to reveal the entire spiritual domain to the world.

The followers of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati
Thakura were astounded by the depth and
intensity of his devotion. His lectures
were so philosophically deep that afterwards
a few of his intimate disciples would
have to explain to the audience what
they had just heard. Sometimes pounding
his fist upon a table, raving about the
Krishna conception of divinity, his face
would blush like a red lotus .
