Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura profoundly reshaped religious history by reviving and vigorously promoting pure Krsna consciousness. His fearless stance against false forms of religion earned him the title "lion guru," yet his inner nature was tender and filled with divine love for Krsna. Active across Bengal and throughout India in the early 1900s, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta set the groundwork and provided the inspiration for what would later become the global spread of the Hare Krsna movement.

Drawn from over twenty years of research, Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Vaibhava compiles a rich selection of newly translated materials. Filled with stories from disciples who closely knew him, this study presents an in-depth look at his life, teachings, and personality as a dedicated emissary of the Supreme Lord, weaving together devotional, philosophical, cultural, and historical perspectives.

Volume 1 provides a biographical introduction alongside an in-depth look at the message, mission, and character of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati.

Volume 2 examines the challenges Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati encountered in his preaching efforts, along with biographical sketches of some of his close disciples and associates.

Volume 3 reviews Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati’s contributions, featuring selections from his lectures, writings, and dialogues, his astrological chart, and appendixes with key information about Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati and the Gaudiya Matha.
