Prabhupāda: Whatever he may be, Guru Mahārāja never designated any ācārya. And the Śrīdhara Mahārāja, he was the principal man to support him.
Gaurasundara: Śrīdhara?
Prabhupāda: Ha. The Śrīdhara Swami from Bengal Maṭha. He made a great blunder, he and Professor Sanyal and Keśava Mahārāja. At that time he was, these three men supported, and he proved later on to be false. Actually this Tīrtha Mahārāja, he wanted to be ācārya. People did not like him, so they made another bad ācārya. (laughs) Why ācārya? They should have continued the preaching work uncontaminated. What is the use of ācārya? Sādhu will have come out automatically by working, but they did not. Propaganda.
Devotee: There is one group that accepts Bhakti-saraṅga as ācārya also.
Prabhupāda: So many.
Devotee: They have a Maṭha right down the street from our Māyāpura.
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Devotee: And they have a big marble plaque on the wall that says how he went on a tour, and he brought back his Australian disciple with him.
Syāmasundara: Lord Zetland and . . . it sounds from the plaque like he conquered the West. And he found his statue in Kensington Park, Kṛṣṇa-mūrti. (laughs)
Govinda dāsī: Lord Zetland?
Prabhupāda: Let us not criticize others. Let us go on with our own work. Make your progress steady, you see.
