Lesson 3 of ISKCON Disciples Course helps students understand the unique position of Srila Prabhupada
Browsing: siddhanta
Prabhupada is the founder. Everything he gave us is of fundamental importance. We use Srila Prabhupada’s books, we stick to Srila Prabhupada’s instructions, and generally we quote Srila Prabhupada as the example for others, and generally people are receptive and appreciate and respect Prabhupada. So, you may see the Founder Acarya in that way. Somebody may see the Founder Acarya as the Gaudiya Math people, they say Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati is the founder Acarya. Other people could say Bhaktivinoda Thakura is the founder Acarya. You could take it back and back and go back to Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the founder Acarya. But we’re following Srila Prabhupada, in the present times.
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.
To help us understand this philosophical seed of the founder-acharya principle, we will now hear how the acharya-sampradaya culture inspired one famous disciple to appeal to his great guru in relation to their worshipable acharya.
