Jayapataka Swami: In the Caitanya-maṅgala, Caitanya Mahāprabhu predicted, that He would preach all over the Indian subcontinent. And after 500 years He would send His senāpati-bhakta. ‘senāpati’ literally translates as a General or Commander. So, we know that in the army, there is more than one general. Right? Right now, the major generals of the Indian and Chinese armies, are discussing at the line of actual control at Ladakh, to reach some kind of agreement. We know that there are many generals in the Indian Army. A particular major general who is discussing with the major general of the Chinese army. He is not the only General in the Indian Army. So, somehow Lord Caitanya predicted that a senāpati-bhakta would come and distribute the saṅkīrtana movement, all over the world. So since Śrīla Prabhupāda had come to the West, and all over the world, and since he spread the saṅkīrtana movement all over the world, it seems that he fulfilled that prediction of Lord Caitanya, we are assuming that he is the senāpati-bhakta. We don’t know how many senāpati-bhaktas Lord Caitanya has,Śrīvāsa was certainly one, and Śrīla Prabhupāda also one,since he fulfilled this prediction so well,so we assume that he is one also.
