My Guru Maharaja Initiated Me in 1933 - Prabhupada 0424

761210 - Lecture Festival Disappearance Day, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati - Hyderabad

I was very much pleased that "Here is a personality who is going to preach Caitanya Mahāprabhu's gospel." I was very much pleased.

So anyway, from 1922 to 1933, yes . . . practically I was not initiated, but I got the impression of preaching Caitanya Mahāprabhu's cult. That I was thinking. And that was the initiation by my Guru Mahārāja. Then officially I was initiated in 1933, because in 1923 I left Calcutta. I started my business at Allahabad. So I was always thinking of my Guru Mahārāja, that ""I met a very nice sādhu."" Although I was doing business, I never forgot him."
