With the extensive preaching efforts of the International Society for Krishna consciousness and other Gaudia Vaisnava’s inevitably, societies are changing.
Initially the out and out fruitive workers and the ungodly are taken to the position of beginners , Kanistha devotees , and as they progress inevitably some become advanced and become Madhyama devotees and out of the Madhyama some will become advanced Uttama Bhaktas.
Things can only get better in terms of the sincere followers of Gaudia Vaisnavism . No doubt, as well, such as Gaudia Vaisnava teachings are having effects, and the transition of world consciousness is beginning.
At first little effect , like the Kanistha, then later more significantly effecting , like the Madhyama, and eventually, as Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur indicates the work of the Uttama consciousness infiltrates science, religion , philosopher, social sciences and the political realms .
