Srila Bhakti Prasad Puri Goswami Thakur

Srila Bhakti Prasad Puri Goswami Thakur, an eternal intimate associate of Sri Sri Gour-Krishna, descended from Golok Vrindavan (the Eternal Abode of Krishna) to Bhulok (earth) on 25th August, 1895. He appeared in this material world at the behest of the Supreme Lord in order to preserve the Divine Line of Thakur Bhaktivinode. After the disappearance of His most beloved Gurudev, Om Vishnupad 108 Sri Srimad Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur in 1937, he emerged as the next Spiritual Head of the Mission. He was unanimously accepted as the worthy Successor to Srila Saraswati Thakur.

          

Srila Bhakti Prasad Puri Goswami Thakur (--His Brahmachari-name being Srila Ananta Vasudeva Paravidyabhusan Prabhu,) appeared as a God-sent Jagat-Guru or Universal Master in the Preceptorial Line of Succession, which commenced from the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna. He came as a Divine Messenger in the “Amnaya Dhara” carrying the lofty truths direct form the Lord and delivering them to the people of the mundane world. He was lovingly called “Srila Acharyadeva” by his devotees.
