Prabhupada's arrival has impacted the minds of scholars and devotees even before he actually advented.

Predictions - Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Sriman Mahaprabhu [Sri Chaitanya] did not descend with His associates to deliver a certain number of human beings in the land of India, but rather His purpose was to deliver and uplift all living beings in all countries of the world by practicing the eternal religion of all souls.

Reference: Sajjana-toshani in 1895

Predictions - Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura

The principle of kirtana, as the future church of the world, invites all classes of men without distinction of caste, creed, or clan to the highest cultivation of the spirit. This church will extend all over the world and take the place of all sectarian churches which exclude outsiders from the precincts of their mosque, church or temple.

Predictions - Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

In this age of Kali, real religious propaganda should induce people to chant the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. This is possible for someone who is especially empowered by Krishna. No one can do this without being especially favored by Krishna.

Predictions - Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura

All smaller dharmas will enter like rivers into the ocean of Hari Nama and there will be only one religion - chanting the Holy Name of Krishna.

Predictions - Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura announced that Mahaprabhu's prediction would shortly be fulfilled. He foresaw that all the Vaishnava sampradayas will be unified.

"In a short time, there will be only one sampradaya and that will be the Brahma sampradaya. All other sampradayas will find their conclusions in this sampradaya."

Predictions - Lord Sri Krishna

Lord Jagannath, the Supreme Lord Sri Hari Himself, spoke these attractive words for the welfare of all: 

The mlecchas who are born from mixed countries ruled by descendants of Kasyapa (demons) and the sudras will become brahmanas by initiation. They will wear sikhas and brahmana threads and will become well versed in the uncontaminated fruit of the Vedas (Srimad Bhagavatam). They will worship Me by the Yajna prescribed by the Lord of Lords, the protector of Sacidevi, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Reference: Bhavisya Purana, Pratisarga Chapter 20 verses 71-73

Predictions - Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati

Bhaktisiddhanta lectured to a crowd that had assembled for a parikrama or walking tour of Mayapur, the birthplace of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. "Guru Maharaj was looking out at the large crowd of devotees," Nayanananda Das Babaji recalled. "Then he turned his head toward the left side where I was standing. He was looking intently at someone behind me and became silent for a long moment. I turned and saw that the person with whom he was making eye contact was Abhay Charanaravinda Prabhu." "I have a prediction," Bhaktisiddhanta announced. "However long in the future it may be, one of my disciples will cross the ocean. That devotee will bring back the whole world."
