Rare photo of His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada and one of his disciples. Earlier I mentioned that he is Abhaya Charanaravinda dey but I was wrong.
This is not a picture of Srila A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada next to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada. It is a picture of Srila Bhaktivilasa Tirtha Maharaja (known as Kunja Vihari dasa before his sannyas), the manager of Gaudiya Math during during Srila Saraswati Thakura's presence. Later, after the division of the Gaudiya Math into two institutions, viz., Gaudiya Mission and Sri Chaitanya Math, he became the acharya and head of the latter.
Thank you prabhu. I will edit my post. I was told differently by another devotee although I was little doubtful in the beginning looking at the picture.
