We know the story of in 1922 his first meeting with Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur. He was given an order, "You are an intelligent young man, take this message of Lord Chaitanya and spread it through out the wolrd in English language." At that time, he was married and he had just had a child who was a baby and no one had ever succeeded in the history of the world to successfully spread this message beyond the boundaries of India. Srila Prabhupada posed his questions and he was very eager to tell us how happy he was to be defeated by his Guru Maharaj. And from that moment, he took this order as his life and soul. Even though it was 11yrs later that he got initiated. In 1959 he had recurring dreams of his Guru Maharaj Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada beckoning him to take sannyasa for this specific purpose. Sep 17th, 1959 Srila Prabhupada took Sannyasa at Mathura at Kesava gaudiya math and Interestingly Bhakti Pragyana Kesava maharaj asked Srila prabhupada to give a lecture. That doesn’t often happen that the people getting initiated are asked to give a lecture. And gathered there were Brajvasis, people who speak brajbhash, hindi, bengali. There was hardly a few people there, who knew a word of english. But Srila prabhupada very enthusiastically gave a lecture in english. Because Prabupada's life and soul was to please his Guru maharaj. He didn’t consider material concepts.
