  Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura
During the time of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura’s stay on this plan­et the pure religion of Vaishnavism taught by the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu was essentially lost and had come to be considered of the degrad­ing standard of simply a sex reli­gion, or at best a cult of religious fanaticism and sentimentalism.
Thakura Bhaktivinoda’s heart was filled with joy, for he knew beyond all doubt that this child was the answer to his prayers.
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada made special studies of the Vaishnava literature of south India and was the first to intro­duce Bengali translations of the works of the Madhvacharya Sampradaya to the public in Bengal.

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura has said that to chant Krishna's name, the maha-mantra, is non-different from taking darsana of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

This publication is an expanded edition of the first English-language version of Brahma-samhita—published in India in 1932—featuring the translation and commentary of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami (1874-1937).
As he is not born from parents, Brahma is known as Svayambhu, "self-existent" or "unoriginated." Upon his emergence from the lotus, Lord Brahma begins—in preparation for his role as secondary creator—to contemplate the act of cosmic creation but, seeing only darkness about, is bewildered in the performance of his duty.
Sarasvati, the goddess of learning, appears before him and instructs him to meditate upon the kama-bija mantra (klim krishnaya govindaya gopijana-vallabhaya svaha), promising that this mantra "will assuredly fulfill your heart's desire."
