How do you personally interpret the concept of Founder-Acharya in your preaching?
Hriday Caitanya Dasa (GBC): There can only be one “Founder-Acharya” in ISKCON, and only time that separates us from Srila Prabhupada being glorified in a whole world as a pure devotee, accepted by all true spiritual leaders as the greatest spiritual Acharya who teaches Love of Godhead” and brings his followers “back to Godhead”.
In my opinion, Srila Prabhupada will become more famous than Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ because Srila Prabhupada gave the absolute truth, he gave Sanatana Dharma, he gave Sanatana Dharma, the eternal, absolute, undeniable truth. This pure knowledge, this science of God consciousness and the Mahamantra will one day be accepted by the masses.
There is some truth in Christianity too, but it’s very limited, hard to understand and there are dogmas. to understand and there are dogmas that you have to accept and the proponents of these of these dogmas do not have the purity in their hearts to give a full, absolute to give a full, absolute explanation that is understandable and acceptable to their to their followers, and as a result the Christian followers are slowly drying up. dry up, that’s why in modern countries only a skeleton is left of the of the Church, even though they have a solid organisational structure and beautiful buildings, beautiful works of art, beautiful muse, the Church is very rich but it has very rich, but it has poor attendance and poor spiritual wealth.
In ISKCON, the scientific eternal truth is explained in detail and in a logical and personal way by the Founder-Acharya, who is a pure devotee. Srila Prabhupada, the Acharya, is directly connected in a very with Lord Krishna as the Supersoul.
Krsna choose Him to be the initiator and propounder of the Mahamantra, which will free millions and billions of people on the long run. We are very fortunate, to be so closely connected with Srila Prabhupada.
