The foundation of our knowledge comes from the lineage of our Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya. Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is the founder of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) and authorized over 70 volumes on the Krishna tradition, which have been translated into 76 languages. He came to America to educate the Western world about the Pastimes of Sri Radha-Krishna and the traditions of Gaudiya-Vaishnavism. Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami (Srila Bhaktabandhav Gurudeva) is our topmost spiritual teacher. "Whether he was in India or abroad, his preaching always bore the distinctive characteristic of clarifying the specific purposes of Sriman Mahaprabhu’s advent, in strict adherence with the desire of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada and in perfect congruence with the conceptions of Srila Rupa Gosvami. Thus, in upholding the glorious tenets of the sampradaya, he performed the function of a true acarya" (Pure Bhakti). Many great teachers and leaders have come from Srila Bhaktabandhav Gurudeva, including Pujyapada Pemananda Prabhuji who epitomizes selfless service in many ways, including his orchestration of the distribution of Prasadam (blessed food) to thousands in of people everyday. Prabhuji resides in Vrindavan, India, yet continues to fuel the vision of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu through his followers in the West. Pujyapada Bhaktabandhav Rasikananda Maharaja serves under the guidance of Prabhuji by traveling across America preaching the Holy Names. Under Prabhuji and his wishes did this Nama-hatta (Bhakti house) come to be. Our rich lineage of mentors who spread Mahaprabhu's legacy inspire us to practice Bhakti yoga to the fullest and spread the Holy Names in any ways we can.
