That's the spirit. The uttama-adhikari is self-effulgent means he manifests

by his own potency not by other's glorification and such personalities are

bound to come to continue & effectively spread the Krsna consciousness

movement for the next 10,000 years. Maybe in the third generation of ISKCON

devotees, among the children of the second generation grhastas. They will be

born in Vaisnava families which is one of the symptoms of a self-effulgent

acarya and there is great chance that some grhasta couple may attract a

maha-bhagavata in the womb of the mother by the dint of their devotion. I

heard Prabhupada also said that the third generation will become very

powerful and they will ignite fire without match-box. Does anybody have the

quote?

I would also take a speculative guess as to when some especially empowered

devotee might be sent to push KC onto the next level within human society,

it might be after some period of time when us more ordinary souls have

established a practical society of Vaisnavism worldwide based on a few

generations of successful experience.

 

By that time, I would at least anticipate that our general human society

would feel a bit more comfortable with KC as being a small minority sect

that has been practicing for generations within their own culture. For

instance, I have seen a marked difference in attitute between young adults

who have known the Hare Krsna Movement as being present in the West all

their lives -- and lets say my parents, who view the Hare Krsna Movement as

something descending out of a space ship from Mars during the wild and

crazy '60's.

 

I would also offer the speculation that it might be a positive development

if India, by Krsna's grace, increased in it's standing among the worlds

nations. After all, most people see KC as something coming from India. Of

course, as Srila Bhaktisidhanta pointed out in his first meeting with Srila

Prabhupada, Krsna consciousness does not need to wait for such things.

 

In any event, based on my own reading of literature such as the

Mahabharata, Krsna has a flair for drama and an impecable sense of timing.

Yes, ultimately Krsna will decide according to His own sweet will. The

manifestation of a self-effulgent acarya is not dependant on the structural

changes in ISKCON and political power changes in the world. Infact by his

coming he will induce the much required structural changes for the better.

Of course we don't need to wait for a sakyavesa avatara to perform the

ongoing process of purification, either individually or as a community or

institution. For instance, we understand that Krsna has descended in His

for as the Hare Krsna Mantra -- like that. He is constantly extending

Himself through His multifarious potencies.
