Big B -- received the seed of acting in 1969 (Bachchan made his big-screen debut in Saat Hindustani) and successfully watered that seed for the next five decades producing over 200 fruits (films).

Srila Prabhupada received the seed of bhakti (when he met his Spiritual Master Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami in 1922) and successfully watered that seed and produced 108 temples and 10000 disciples before he left this world in 1977. The 10000 seeds he has sown during his time have then watered the seed and today just in INDIA alone ISKCON has a presence in 900 locations. In each of these locations hundreds of seeds are again being sown.

Translation: According to their karma, all living entities are wandering throughout the entire universe. Some of them are being elevated to the upper planetary systems, and some are going down into the lower planetary systems. Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bona fide spiritual master by the grace of Kṛṣṇa. By the mercy of both Kṛṣṇa and the spiritual master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service.
