ISKCON NOIDA Expressway Founder Members
Founder Acharya :
A.C.Bhaktivedānta Swami, Srila Prabhupada
In Chaitanya mangal, it is recorded that Narad Muni, while visiting the spiritual world, came upon Lord Gauranga. The Lord told him of His mission to destroy the sinful activities of the Age of Kali. “With the powerful chopper of Hari naam sankirtan,” He said, “I’ll cut the hard knots of demoniac desires from the hearts of everyone.
Even if the sinners reject religion or flee to foreign countries, still they will get my mercy. I will send “mor senapati-bhakta” to go there and deliver them.” mor means “My,” senapati means “military field commander,” and Bhakta means “devotee.” mor senapati-bhakta thus refers to that devotee who will lead Lord Chaitanya’s sankirtan army, or in other words that devotee whom Lord Chaitanya will empower to spread Krishna consciousness around the world. That commander of the sankirtan army is Srila Prabhupada.
