My Advice. Principles taught by Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur published in the Bengali magazine Sri Gaudiya Darshan in 1956. 
Audio: Glories of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur. Informal discourse by Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj in which he describes how Srila Saraswati Thakur changed the impression society had of the Vaishnavas – who used to be seen as low class. He established grand temples and utilised everything, including all the “fruits of technology”, to spread Krishna consciousness all over the world. Now everybody sees how great is Vaishnava dharma: greater than great.Informal discourse by Srila Govinda Maharaj on Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur’s avirbhav, 1990: 
Dear devotees and friends of the Ashram,
“In the great Gaudiya Vaishnava teacher’s line, as Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati he’s renowned. Like the radiant sun in the morning sky, he appeared to rescue all souls swallowed by the all-devouring impersonal philosophy. By spreading the teachings of Lord Gauranga to sing the Holy Name of Lord Sri Krishna, he gave all the chance to dive in the ocean of love of Sri Krishna, the Supreme Person. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta, my lord, divine master–at his feet do I pray to serve him forever.”
“You are all in the group of Srila Saraswati Thakur’s divine servitors, you all, all over the world. Not only our mission, so many missions manifested in this world after Saraswati Thakur and all is the divine group of Srila Saraswati Thakur’s servants. And finally the whole world has got that ecstasy of the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra…. The supreme mantram in this age of kali yuga; that comes from Srila Saraswati Thakur through his divine associates. Then everything is very glorious today.” 
“We are not moralists or sinners, scholars or illiterates. We are carriers of the shoes of the Lord’s sincere servants who are initiated into the mantra “
