The Gaudiya Mission (Bengali: গৌড়ীয় মিশন) is a Gaudiya Vaishnava monastic and missionary organization. The organisation has been registered since March 1940 in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) under the supervision of the then acharya, Ananta Vasudev (a.k.a. Srila Acharyadev), later known as Bhakti Prasad Puri Maharaj (25 Aug 1895—8 March 1958[note 1]).[2][3]
