Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati prayed to Srimati Radhika, who sent Vinoda Manjari, Bhakti Prajnana Kesava. – Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura was like a refulgent Moon, whose rays were followers of him. Song: Sri Prabhupada Padma Stavah. – Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada is the founder Acarya of Gaudiya Matha. – Bhaktivinoda Thakura did everything through Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati who were eternal associates. – Bhaktisiddhanta heard everything directly from Bhaktivinoda, including the Jaiva Dharma. – Prabhupada, throughout his life, preached strongly against erroneous philosophies such as mayavada, sahajiya, ramakrsna, etc. – Bhaktisiddhanta defeated the philosophy that any method leads to the same place, arguing that thousands of letters can be placed in the same post office, but the letter only arrives according to the recipient. – Bhaktivinoda explained in Jaiva dharma that there is only one eternal dharma, sanatana-dharma. – Souls have an eternal nature, they are parts and parcels of Krsna. The part belongs to the Whole, but is not equal to It. The jiva never becomes Brahma.
