Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhupada (February 3, 1874 – January 1, 1937)[1][2], was a extremely powerful priest of Gaudiya Vaishnavism during India in the late 19^th and early 20^th Century. He was born as Bimal Prasad Dutta in the seaside pilgrimage municipality of Jagannath Puri, Orissa, India.

In 1905, following the suggestion of his father, Siddhanta Sarasvati established religious beginning from Gaurakisora dasa Babaji. While Gaurakisora data Babaji was famous as a good person and huge devotee of Krishna, he was illiterate and left no scriptural additions to the ritual of Vaishnava religion. Content with the humility and culture of his extremely cultured believer, Srila Gaurikisora gave him his full approval and requested him to “lecture the complete Truth and maintain away all other work.”Siddhartha Sarasvati then proved himself a capable supporter in the missionary work of his father.

Since the very creation of Chaitanya’s bhakti progress in Bengal, Haridasa Thakur and other Muslim or Hindu by birth were the participants.

Present has not been, there will not be, such benefactors of the highest merit as Mahaprabhu and his devotees have been. The present of other benefits only a deception; it is fairly a huge harm, wherever the advantage done by him and his followers is the truest and supreme eternal benefit done by him and his followers is the truest and greatest eternal benefit. This benefit is not for one particular country, causing trouble to further; but it benefits the whole world.
