Çré Bhaktisiddhänta Vaibhava
Çréla Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté Öhäkura altered the course of
religious history by reviving and forcefully propagating pure Kåñëa
consciousness. His boldness
in combating cheating
religion earned him the
appellation “lion guru”—
yet his heart was soft with
divine love for Kåñëa.
Based in Bengal and
traveling throughout
India in the early
twentieth century, Çréla
Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté
Öhäkura laid the foundation for, and was the inspiration and
guiding force behind, the later worldwide spreading of the Hare
Kåñëa movement.
The result of over twenty years of research, Çré Bhaktisiddhänta
Vaibhava presents a wealth of newly translated material. Replete
with anecdotes told by disciples who lived with him, this devotional,
philosophical, cultural, and historical study gives intimate insights
into the activities, teachings, and character of an empowered
emissary of the Supreme Lord.
