From an early age Bhaktivinoda Thakura was religiously inclined. He studied Brahmoism (a Hindu reform movement), the Bible, and the Koran. He preferred Christianity to Brahmoism because of the idea of a personal God. As he continued his religious studies, he discovered Chaitanya-charitamrita, the biography of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and was convinced of the superior teachings of Bhakti.During and after his professional career he wrote, traveled, and taught the message of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, inspiring hundreds to take up the path to pure Bhakti. He established five hundred nama hattas, or associations (some attended by thousands), for chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.
n Bhakivinoda’s time, Sri Chaitanya’s teachings had become erated. Bhaktivinoda Thakura almost single-handedly reestablished the true, pure form of Chaitanya’s teachings, taught them to the intelligentsia, and proved their relevance to modern society.See more at: http://gaudiyahistory.com/sri-bhaktivinoda-thakura/ [For more videos - http://harekrishnatube.com]
