If we take the above statement of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta regarding Bhaktivinoda applicable to Srila Prabhupada also, which I believe is logical, then we can safely conclude that even the teachings of Srila Prabhupada in his books can really be implemented & practised in the real sense only in the presence of a living acarya who is a cent percent follower of Srila Prabhupada. So Bhakti Vikasa Swami & Samba Prabhu's point about the need for the presence of a living acarya (maha-bhagavata) in our society is again justified.
