Gaudia Vaisnavism and its  distribution

Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur particularly wanted to bring Vedic culture in all  its aspects , both the peripheral systematic teaching within what he referred to as Devi Varna Ashram systems which culminates in the cor esoteric truths that Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has revealed in His recent pastimes , the Thakur wanted all these teaching made available and distributed to modernity . In current times the cream of the Vedas in the form of the Srimad Bhagavatam as well as Caitanya Caratamrita  the essence of the Gaudia Vaisnava conclusions as taught by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu to the Goswami’s of Vrndavana , are bring  presented and taught  by ISKCON  devotees and other Gaudia Vaisnava’s from other institutions all over the world. It was Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who originally brought them to the shores of the USA  in 1965 . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur had prayed for a son who could continue and expand his desire to  establish Krishna consciousness world wide  and specifically the Raga Marg of the  residents of Vrndavana where everyone can be  ultimately under the service of Srimati Radharani in one way or another  giving all pleasure to Krishna . Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja appeared as the son of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, and he  served his father’s trancendental wishes and began to form a Vedic institution called the Gaudia math. He began  extensively reintroding Gaudia Vaisnavism , as taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in authentic ways as Mahāprabhu wanted within India . In doing so, Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati was correcting the many  misunderstandings that former generations had introduced. His two leading disciples who specialised in presenting Krishna consciousness scientifically , philosophically, and culturally as well as appropriately to the Western audience are Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad as well as  Srila BR Sridhar Swami , other prominent disciples also have made major contributions. Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada has given the Western world a chance to practically explore the Vedic Culures and examine its many benefits , introducing its untapped and unlimited wealth . He was a most prolific writer and teacher. There is no doubt Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami, who brought , under the orders of his spiritual master , the  Gaudia Vaisnava teachings worldwide, was extremely successful and still is . This was the same mission that was originally desired by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja . Its noteworthy to say that when Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami left the world , he instructed his disciples that if they had questions about Gaudia Vaisnava tattva they should approach Srila BR Sridhar Swami , Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja commented that he was content that Srila BR Sridha Swami had understood everything of his ,  Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati’s  teachings .
Many other Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas have contributed and are contributing . Some are  presenting other more esoteric aspects that are required to be delved into by the mature student , the teachings of  Srila RupaRagganatha  Goswami’s.

Both Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami and Srila BR Sridhar Swami could have at any time elaborated  unlimitedly on the deepest aspects of Gaudia teachings and occasionally did so  . Although bringing the whole of the Western world and helping everyone enter into and understand the Vedic  topics in systematic ways as is  recommended in the Srimad Bhagavatam was their  general approach and, of course, it needed to be.
