Prediction of Srila Prabhupada in Bhavisya Purana.
Srila Prabhupada was chosen to spread Hare Krishna Mahamantra all over the world.
HG Jananivas Das prabhu : Another time, probably in 1973, Srila Prabhupada told me, “You can offer prayers in your own language if you like.” I used to chant the prayers in the morning. According to the shastra, you can only speak to the deity in Devanagari, the Sanskrit language.
In the Bhavisya Purana, bhavisya means in the future, it said that, “One saffron clad man will come from India and he will teach the Vedas in the language of the mlecchas.” [laughs] English is the language of the mlecchas. “And he will initiate with fire.”
Generally when a disciple receives the Gayatri mantra, it's a samskara which needs a fire sacrifice. Prabhupada used a fire sacrifice for the first initiation as well which is not mentioned in the Vedas.
It's for the Gayatri mantras. But for the Holy name Prabhupada used a fire sacrifice that is unique but is spoken of in the Bhavisya Purana. So it indicates Prabhupada. [laughs]

Forty-six years before the beginning of Kali-yuga, Vishnuchittha, one of the twelve great Alwar Vaishnava saints of the Sri Sampradaya predicted: "There will come a race which will tread the Earth with raised hands and vertical tilaka on their foreheads, who will chant the names of Hari; this will destroy the influence of Kali." (Divyaprabhanda 1:10).
