Bhaktivinoda Thakur was called as the Seventh Goswami because he fulfilled the fourfold mission that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu entrusted to the six Goswamis of Vrindavan through Sanatana Goswami. To understand Bhaktivinoda Thakur’s contribution, we need to understand how he embraced this mission as his own and brought it to fruition in this world.
The main contribution of Bhaktivinoda Thakur was to restore the dignity and recognition of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His teachings. He not only rediscovered the birthplace of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu but also re-established the glories of the entire Navadvipa-dhama, which bestows its mercy upon everyone who visits it. He also rediscovered the original Deities and established the principles of pure Vaishnava conduct.
He presented Gaudiya-vaishnava siddhanta in a clear, logical and systematic way.
