THE MESSIAH WHO PREDICTED THE GREAT AWAKENING IS THE DIVINE AWAKENER

This example of Dhruva Maharaja’s closing the holes of his personal body and thereby closing the breathing holes of the total universe clearly indicates that a devotee, by his personal devotional service, can influence all the people of the whole world to become devotees of the Lord. lf there is only one pure devotee in pure Krsna consciousness, he can change the total consciousness of the world into Krsna consciousness. This is not very difficult to understand if we study the behavior of Dhruva Maharaja. (Prabhupada from Srimad Bhagavatam 4.8.80)

Everyone is sleeping in the darkness of Kaliyuga, but when there is a great acarya, by his calling only, everyone takes to the study of the Vedas to acquire actual knowledge. (Prabhupada from Krishna Book Chapter 20)

Such a maha-bhagavata Vaisnava has the transcendental eyes to see who is sleeping under the spell of maya, and he engages himself in awakening sleeping conditioned beings by spreading the knowledge of Krsna consciousness. (Srila Prabhupada from Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya Lila 16.74)
