Predictions
Many Gaudiya followers believe that Thakura predictions laid the foundation of the worldwide spread of the bhakti yoga movement. He predicted the coming of the day when fortunate non-Indian Vaishnavas would perform Harinama Sankirtan in different cities of the world.
In one of his articles entitled "From Moses to Mahaprabhu" he remarked:
It has been seen that any rasa that appears in India eventually spreads to the western countries, therefore madhurya rasa will soon be preached throughout the world. Just as the Sun first rises in India and gradually spreads its light to the West, the matchless splendor of spiritual truth appears first in India and gradually spreads to the Western countries.He also envisioned that many devotees from all nationalities would assemble at Mayapur to sing the names of Krishna and Chaitanya. He predicted that a great acharya would come to create a worldwide movement to propagate the sankirtana mission.

—Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)
