Some accept Him (Lord Chaitanya) whereas others do not, yet everyone is
His servant.One who does not accept Him, however, will be ruined by his
sinful activities.
2. Conversations
Reporter (2): What will happen to the movement in the United States when you die?
Prabhupada: I will never die.
Devotees: Jaya! Hari bol! (laughter)
Prabhupada: I shall live for my books, and you will utilize.
3. Lectures, July 4, 1970, San Francisco
Pressman: Do you know how many followers there are in the United States now?
Prabhupada: Unlimited. (devotees roar) Some of them admit and some of them do not admit. That's all. (laughter) Everyone is eternally servant of God, but some of them admit and some of them do not admit.
That is the difficulty. But anyone who does not admit, he is servant of
somebody. That is a fact. He cannot be master. Everyone is servant. But
one who knows that "I am servant of Krishna," his life is perfect.
That's all. Please try to understand this point that everyone is
servant. Even your president is servant of the nation. So nobody can say
that "I am no one's servant." He is servant, but he does not know that
actually he is the servant of the Supreme Lord. That is his ignorance.
We are just eradicating this ignorance, that "You are servant, but you
admit that you are servant of God. That will make your life successful."
That's all. Therefore I say that there are unlimited followers. Some of
them admit and some of them do not admit. That is the difficulty. But
if anyone comes to me, I shall make him to admit.

We can see from the above statement in Chaitanya Charitamrita that Krishna das Kaviraj explicitly states that Lord Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
And those who accept Him will be saved and those who do not, will be ruined.
This same principle can be applied to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s predicted Senapati Bhakta, or Field Commander - A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada has been chosen by Lord Gauranga to represent Him in the coming years of Kali yuga. As Srila Prabhupada once said, after him, only Lord Chaitanya can save one.
Therefore the conclusion is this - Lord Chaitanya and Srila
Prabhupada are the ones whom we must surrender to, because without both
of them, we are ruined.
