710215 - Lecture 2 Festival Appearance Day, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati - Gorakhpur
So in 1936, . So I do not know . . . out of my own accord, I wrote him one letter that: "Guru Mahārāja, you have got many disciples. Some of you (them) are directly serving you. I could not do so; I am a householder. So if you give me some direct service to you, it will be very kind of you."
So he replied that letter that, "You try to preach in English language. Then the persons who will be instructed by you and both yourself will be benefited." Again, he said the same thing which he ordered me in 1922 at the first sight. Then there . . . he passed away 1936, 31st December."
