Guru Parampara

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

Personality of Godhead

Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was born on the evening of Phalguna Paurnima in 1486 at Sridham Mayapura, in the city of Navadvipin Bengal. His father Sri Jagannatha Mishra was a learned Brahmin teaching at the Sanskrit university in Sylhet. Mahaprabhu is known by various names such as Vishvambhara and Nimai Pandita before he took to the renounced order of life at the age of 30 years. His mission in this age of quarrel was to preach the power and importance of Harinam.

HDG Jagannatha Das Babaji

Srila Jagannatha dasa Babaji Maharaja appeared in this world in 1750 A.D., living his life as a member of a wealthy family of an Indian district known today as Bangladesh. His wisdom and devotion garnered so much attention that patrons would travel from various parts of the country to hear him speak or chant. He was such an influential personality at the time that people would sometimes follow him from village to village just to be with him for a period of time and hear his discourses. In his bhajana kutir, he would sometimes chant continuously for multiple days without taking food or sleep all the while radiating with spiritual ecstasy.

HDG Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Parampara Guru

Bhaktivinoda Thakura was a prolific writer and poet who re-introduced the teachings of Lord Chaitanya particularly during a time when they were almost lost. He composed hundreds of devotional songs which he sent to universities around the world in order to popularize Lord Chaitanya’s mission of Krishna consciousness. Bhaktivinoda unearthed the birthplace of Lord Chaitanya and spread his message throughout India along with his wife whom he helped raise many children who, in turn, went on to become revered spiritual masters in their own right.

HDG Srila Gaurakisora Dasa Babaji

The life of this Vaisnava saint Gaurakisora is an example of utter humility and poverty. A true Vaisnava, he never accepted any material object from others nor did he acquire anything for himself; the loin cloths he wore were found on the banks of the Ganges, discarded by corpses; his food was begged for and consisted only of rice soaked in water from the river and then seasoned with salt and chilly. He asked no favours from anyone else, lived without possessions, and went on to become a famous personality in India, known widely as a spiritual master who brought all people together.

HDG Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura

Founder of Gaudiya Math

I have most probably given many people troubles in the mind. Some of them might have thought about me that I am their enemy because I was obliged to speak the plain truth for service and devotion towards the Absolute Godhead. I have given them all those troubles only for the reason that they may turn their face towards the Personality of Godhead without any desire for gain and with unalloyed devotion. I hope someday or other they may understand me rightly.

Sri Dharmavira Prabhu is guiding sincere ssdhakas (spiritual practitioners) to chant minimum 64 rounds of Hare Krishna Maha mantra daily from Sri Radhakund.

He is directly empowered by Gauranga Mahaprabhu himself. It is evident from the sadhakas written and video testimonials that Sri Dharmavira Prabhu is undoubtedly empowered to make sadhakas to chant minimum 64 rounds of Hare Krishna Maha mantra daily.

By the empowerment of Gauranga Mahaprabhu all sadhakasa are chanting minimum 64 rounds under guidance received from Sri Dharmavira Prabhu for more than 3 years.
