In 1950 a disciple (Sadananda Swami) of Bhaktisiddhanta said:"What Prabhupad (Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur) pointed at, but could not change, was the fact that the official Caitanya movement actually has nothing to do with Caitanya, and that a true follower of Caitanya is something else than a sentimental, muddled and immoral person, and that a true follower of Mahaprabhu should be able to profess himself as such, without feeling ashamed of himself and without fear that he will be put in the same category as those who wrap the mantle of the learned, the bhakta and the cult over their own social, intellectual, spiritual and moral inferiority, and as those who in the name of Mahaprabhu and His cult justify themselves while dealing with more or less obscure activities".
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami said in Montreal : " His Holiness Swami Sadananda, my German god-brother may come to see you. When he comes offer your respect by bowing down as you do unto me". He also mentioned in a letter around 1970; "I am very glad to know that His Grace Sadananda Swami has written that he plans to visit the temple this Fall. When he visits kindly give him good reception and obeisances. He is my old friend and Godbrother. Caitanya Mahaprabhu was very much respectful to the Godbrother of His Spiritual Master.
