In Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s movements, there are many types of devotees , some are swept up in the causless mercy waves and begin to develop great faith in Lord Krishna,  they learn about the highest spiritual realms of Goloka Vrndavana. Sometimes, these devotees, although maintaining strong faith, let their practices wane. Their initial austerity falls by the wayside, and they may attempt to settle into the troublesome material world .  However, by Krishna’s grace, they are never absent in real terms because once one gets the mercy of Mahāprabhu it will never leave . Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita that even if a devotee becomes sinful and fallen because they never give up a hope against hope and  never give up their faith ,  they should be regarded as devotees.

So , some devotees plunge deep into the Sankirtana movement and others never plunge but dip their toes in and slowly and carefully try to enter the oceans of the Sankirtana movements . Sometimes, they have attachments to material life and the material trappings of material success , opulences, and hopes of high social standing . Such devotees can progress and make progress through Dharmic approaches. However , a try at a complete sacrifice and an attempts of  deep surrender that may be  carried out by some devotee will carry  them a long way , their faith is deep , and they have not forgotten Krishna . Their sacrifice to the eternal remains eternal, and Krishna has not forgotten them . Very quickly, at any moment, deep hankering and remembrances will  return in many profound ways . This is promised by Krishna to those who have deeply sacrificed for Him and His representatives . Nothing is ever lost in spiritual life , and there is everything to gain .There is a verse that indicates one can do ones Dharma perfectly,  but if such a person does not take their sacrifices further and deeper  ,remaining in material comfort,  they miss out on a greater realising of the knowledge and detachment that Krishna consciousness brings . However , the person who made a deep sacrifice,  seemingly prematurely,  has this treasure eternally situated within them , and it will automatically  engulf them again and  irresistibly the depths of Krishna consciousness will rise  within their hearts and carry them much further than they could have imagined.

Such are the results of the mercy of sacrifices to please Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhus representatives, and particularly, we can say ,  Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada establishment of Krishna consciousness all over the world .Those early devotees worked wonders .
