Srila Prabhupada had at least three, if not four thousand initiated disciples. For those who think having large numbers of disciples is wrong, here’s some food for thought: “Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has said that a Vaisnava is meritorious in proportion to the number of devotees he has created. A Vaisnava becomes superior not simply by jugglery of words but by the number of devotees he has created for the Lord.” (Srimad Bhagavatam, 9.21.18/purport)
