This gross material body made of five elements is already under the control of eternal time [kāla], action [karma] and the modes of material nature [guṇa]. How then can it, being already in the jaws of the serpent, protect others?
ŚB 1.13.46

Srila Prabhupada Bhakti Siddhanta Saravati Thakura told that at any situation we should continue our Hari-Bhajana. 
Even though the majority of the people will not accept the Absolute Truth, Hari-kirtan and Hari-katha should be our life and soul. The purpose of life is to do Hari-Bhajana.

Kal, jiva, Ishvar, Maya, karma are eternally present.
Is our body really ours? Body and mind are not under our control. Also, we can’t control time and the three modes of natures. We are driven by our karma-phal (fruit of previous actions).
Day by day we are approaching toward death. Who can protect whom? Maha-kal is compared to a snake and we are almost swallowed by it.

The life of Sadhana-siddha Narada. Sadhu sanga. The death of his mother. Bhagavan, by giving His darshan for a fraction of second, wanted to inspire Narada to do more Bhajan.
Narada was still not completely perfect, therefore he could not see Bhagavan again. 

… avipakva-kaṣāyāṇāṁ
durdarśo ’haṁ kuyoginām

Those who are incomplete in service and who are not completely free from all material taints can hardly see Me.
ŚB 1.6.21

The most efficient medicine to get the power to do Bhajan:

bhakta-pada-dhuli ara bhakta-pada-jala
bhakta-bhukta-sesa—ei tina sadhanera bala

"The dust of the devotees' feet, the water that has washed the devotees' feet, and the devotees' food remnants—honouring these gives one strength to engage in devotional practices."
Sri Chaitanya-charitamrta (Antya-lila, 16.60)

naiṣāṁ matis tāvad urukramāṅghriṁ
spṛśaty anarthāpagamo yad-arthaḥ
mahīyasāṁ pāda-rajo-’bhiṣekaṁ
niṣkiñcanānāṁ na vṛṇīta yāvat

“Unless they smear upon their bodies the dust of the lotus feet of a Vaiṣṇava completely freed from material contamination, persons very much inclined toward materialistic life cannot be attached to the lotus feet of the Lord, who is glorified for His uncommon activities. Only by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious and taking shelter at the lotus feet of the Lord in this way can one be freed from material contamination.”
ŚB 7.5.32

Bhagavan is the protector of everyone. Bus accident example. 

Sanatana Gosvami’s escape from prison. Rupa and Sanatana come to Vrindavan. 
How Madan Mohan came to Sanatana Gosawami to accept service from him. 
Dvadash Aditya Tila (Hill) – the place where Krishna was dried after Kaliya Lila by 12 suns. This is the same hill that the Madan Mohan Temple is located on and where Sanatana Goswami would perform his bhajan.
The boat of an important merchant became stuck on a sandbar in the Yamuna, by the mercy of Sanatana Goswami it got freed. The merchant had made a significant profit on his cargo, and donated it all to build a temple for Sri Madan Mohan. 
The original temple was destroyed during the Muslim attack. So, a new temple was built  in the early 19th century by Sri Nand Kumar Bose. Today the deity worshiped by Sanatana Goswami is at Karauli in Rajasthan. 

Adwaita Goswami and Madan Gopal. Adwaita Vat. Madan Gopal takes fine form to hide Himself from muslims.

The devotees travel only because Bhagavan desires so, they have no “chanchal” (unsteady) mood.

With material eyes it is not allowed to go to Vrindavan.
