Re: Bhaktisiddhanta speaks on Thakura Bhaktivinoda

Thakur Bhaktivinode�s greatest gift to the world consists in this; that he has brought about the appearance of those pure devotees who are, at present, carrying on the movement of unalloyed devotion to the Feet of Sri Krishna by their own wholetime spiritual service of the Divinity.

This statement by Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada gives full credit for the modern day Nitaai Gaura Hare Krishna movement to the most holy advent of Shrila Sacchidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura in this modern age. It is only due to his causelessly merciful appearance that great Acharyas appeared after him.

I pray and request that the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust will seriously consider this prophecy and lecture by Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada and  take up the translation and publication of the holy books of Shrila Sacchidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura also, along with Shrila Swami Prabhupada's books, in the various languages of the world. This was desired by Shrila Swami Prabhupada himself. He wanted Shrila Sacchidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura's books to be translated into many languages.

I have many realizations about the nice posts which are being posted on our Forum and would like to comment on each one of them. But somehow I do not get the time to pen them down. Maybe in the future, if I can quickly explain to a devotee with me and he can type them down. Or another option is I record them in video as soon as I am inspired about a topic and I set them to be auto-uploaded to blip.tv. Someone will have to check the new videos on our blip page and post them on the forums as a reply in the relevant topic or as a new topic with the embed code for silverlight wmv video which is common for all videos (just changing the url). Sometimes I get so overburdened by various services, then even though I record it, I am not able to immediately post it on the forums. Whenever possible, the videos would have to be also transcribed later so that the text is searchable and subject matter reaches a bigger audience via text. The Add Webcam Comment button is ok it does not record such good quality video and audio and it stores them on Riffly servers.

Daaso'smi, BRS Swami Gaurangapada.
