As stated and rightly so. by many devotees statements , Srila Prabhupada is the Siksa Guru of all the members of ISKCON and those who have absolute faith in him , whether so called inside or outside of ISKCON.
But importantly, Srila Prabhupada is giving us access to the predominant teachers of Gaudia Vaisnavism, those “significant ” acaryas ,although of course all devotees are significant, stemming from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu through the Goswami’s . Srila Prabhupada is the transparent medium who can show us the methods by which their connections , by Siksa , and Sastra sanga can be made . By Srila Prabhupada’s teachings and services to him , the correct processes are fully understood of the connections between the many peripherals and all the cor teachings of the Vedas and further particularly the essence of Gaudia Vaisnavism , as taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu through his conversion with Ramananda Roy .Prabhupada has outlined everything and made all the connections.
So , perhaps an emphasis on his abilities to correctly guide us to our param para acaryas and their teachings , which he has clearly laid out in his writings , from beginnings to their perfection in pure spontaneous love , which he exhibited should be understood.
In Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s commentary to Srila Ragganatha das Goswami’s Manah Siksa .
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has said we should regard the Goswami’s as our own personal Siksa Gurus.
The essential mission of ISKCON , which Srila Prabhupada has so experrtly taken up , because he Himself is Mahāprabhu’s and Nityananda prabhu’s associate , stems from Their other associates Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj , especially the broad teachings of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , who brought us insights to Devi Varna Ashram that Prabhupada has introduced , we are in the Bhaktivinod parivag .
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur brought the modern world to the Western world through his broad visions of the all encompasing Vedas , the peripherals and cor can and do join together as set progressive and individually meant meaningful paths , Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s son , Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami started the broadcast of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s teachings , he desired them be spread world wide as his father wanted , this was the predicted by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and so it was the Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja’s disciple Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami arrived in USA and founded ISKCON 60 years ago , Prabhupada’s personal pure Krishna consciousness was on full display and his enthusiasm to carry out Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu desire , and the order of his spiritual master had begun , ISKCON is a most powerful preaching movement that is ever increasing and Krishna has most definitely sent many special souls to assist ISKCON and continues to do so , Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s vision is taking shape , and its just beginning in one sense.
So any how , its important to make these trancendental connections in my opinion because the whole of our Gaudia Vaisnavas param para have been opened up so expertly by Srila Prabhupada . Through his teachings, by serving his mission , and by humbly cooperating with others that try to assist the mission of Prabhupada, then by grace , all of our param para acaryas insights within their Smiti’s and their trancendental unlimited connections to the spiritual realms may decend upon us , some understanding may develop.
In the Western world and in most parts of the world, including India, access in real terms to the Gaudia Vaisnava param para begins and has began through Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada , who has clearly explained all .
