A personal account by a bengali devotee
This prediction of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s is now actually coming to pass.

Jesus Christ because Srila Prabhupada gave the absolute truth, he gave Sanatana Dharma, he gave Sanatana Dharma, the eternal, absolute, undeniable truth. This pure knowledge, this science of God consciousness and the Mahamantra will one day be accepted by the masses.
ISKCON Mayapur: These three days were filled with joy, reflections, and realizations. I acknowledge my inability to recall and mention all the wonderful revelations made by Srila Prabhupada’s disciples here. I am attaching the link for the videos of the event with this article.
Subhag Swami expressed gratitude to all his godbrothers for their kind participation in the festival. The program concluded with the Abhishek ceremony and pushpanjali for His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The devotees offered Srila Prabhupada 108 different dishes. All Prabhupada’s disciples were respectfully seated, and they lovingly honored the Lord’s divine prasadam while reminiscing about Prabhupada. Around ten thousand devotees also enjoyed the Lord’s prasadam in a separate pandal.
