Srila Prabhupada was Empowered & Sent By Krishna – Proofs!
Srila Prabhupada had done unimaginable achievements within 10 years by spreading the Harinam throughout the world. That too after his age 70.
(His achievements in 10 years have been given in the following Post: Srila Prabhupada’s Achievements between 1965 to 1977! READ HERE!)
This is not possible for an ordinary person. Only a Vaishnava empowered by Krishna and with the strength of the Guru Parampara can do these wonders.
This Post gives the Proofs from the scriptures that Srila Prabhupada was Empowered & Sent By Krishna! Read them:
(1) Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Sajjana Tosani 4.3, ‘Nityadharma Suryodoy’ 1885:
“Very soon the unparalleled path of hari-nama sankirtana will be propagated all over the world…Oh, for that day when the fortunate English, French, Russian, German, and American people will take up banners, mrdangas, and karatalas and raise kirtana through their streets and towns! When will that day come?”

(2) Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Caitanya-bhagavata, Antya 4.126:
“In every town and village, the chanting of My name will be heard.”
(3) Bhakti Devi speaking to Narada, Srimad Bhagavata Mahatmyam
(Padmapurana, Uttarakhanda):
“I will leave this place [Vrndavana] and travel to foreign lands”
(4) Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Sri Caitanya Mangala, Sutra-Khanda
by Locana das Thakura:
“If some sinful people escape and giving up religious principles go to far off countries, then my Senapati Bhakta will come at that time to give them Krsna consciousness. (senapati – a military field commander, bhakta – a devotee. Lord Caitanya will empower His own devotee to spread Krsna Consciousness around the world.)”
(5) Room Conversation with Canadian Ambassador to Iran
Iran, March 13, 1975
“Prabhupada: …in 1896. Bhaktivinoda Thakura was the first origin of this movement. But he simply thought of it. And he was expecting some others that willing to take up the work. Well, somebody says that I am the same man. And I was born in 1896.”

(6) Room Conversation, Vrndavana, June 17, 1977:
“Prabhupada: And in my horoscope there was written there, “After seventieth year this man will go outside India and establish so many temples.”
Tamala Krsna: Really?
Prabhupada: I could not understand. “What is this, that I have to go outside India? That is not…” And Guru Maharaja foretold. He told my Godbrothers, Sridhara Maharaja and others, that “He’ll do the needful when time comes. Nobody requires to help him.” He told in 1935. And after all, this was true. Guru Maharaja told. And in the beginning, first sight, he told, “You have to do this.”
(7) His Holiness B.V. Puri Maharaj, ITV, Memories of Srila Prabhupada:
“And what about the qualities he had? All devotional qualities he possess. And that we can know him that he is great only by preaching. Less than 10 years. There is no history, no recording anywhere. Preaching in 10 years he has established this divine name everywhere. As is told in Mahaprabhu’s future [prediction].”
(8) Srila Prabhupada letter to Bon Maharaja, Evanston, Illinois, July 7, 1975:
“Sripada Sridhara Maharaja also appreciated my service. He said that Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s prediction: prthivite ache yata nagaradi grama/ sarvatra pracara haibe mora nama, would remain a dream only, but he congratulated me that I have done it practically.”
