Hare Krishna, dear devotees!!
In Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6 Verse 41, it is said that those who fail in Krishna consciousness will be born in a pious and prosperous Vaishnava family next life to complete the sublime process of KC and come back to Godhead. Suppose, one is born in a pious family which holds a different religious background like Christinaity, Islam, Judaism etc. will he get a chance to associate with Vaishnava devotees due to his past engagement in KC or will he have to pursue God consciousness through the doctrines of the religion that he gets next life.

I must thank Krishna for blessing me with the golden opportunity of associating with devotees like you. Infact, this question was tormenting me. All I want is association with Vaishnavas even if I have to take millions of births. Because without Krishnakatha and sadhusanga, there is no true happiness. When I feel morose, I go through the blogs and discussions posted by devotees here and they rejuvenate me. And mataji, you truly are an inspiration for all of us. Your answers reflect the profound depth of your Self-Realization. Thkx a lot Rahul and Siddhartha prabhu for putting such beautiful answers.
Hare Krishna Gourab Saha Prabhu, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Krishna says that a Devotee who just started to practice Krishna Consciousness and did achieve some stages but did not continue will take birth in a wealthy family of pious people after fulfilling their material desires in heavenly planets.
But that who achieved very high standards like the stage of Bhava will take birth in the family of a very great Vaishnavas. As an example, King Bharata who became attached to the deer, took birth in the family of pure brahmana.
And also when Vishnujana Prabhu commit suicide in the Yamuna later disciples of Srila Prabhupada asked him if what he achieved. And Prabhupada told that he is preaching in heavenly planets.
Some times ago Devotees in Russia did little research and become to know that most ISKCON Devotees are from such like religions like Christianity, and other famous religions.
If a Devotee had done for Krishna something in this life he will for sure be in contact with Him again in next life. it says that the results of spiritual practice never vanishes.
Your servant,
:D :D Hare Krishna Siddhartha Prabhu, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
You told very bold words about me even though i was born in a mlechha family.
In our country most people are not at all religious. Only few people do namaz and read Koran. Others just live as they want. And i also took birth in one those families. No God, no religion. No religious literature.
Later in my teen ages suddenly i was interested with God, and knowledge about Him. Since there was only Koran about God i read that Book. But it does not mean that i started to do namaz and other rules. And after one year i came in touch with Bhagavad Gita....
i may learn the knowledge of Bhagavatam with my brain but Your - Indians' hearts are soaked with that divine knowledge. You are very fortunate souls.
Your servant,
