Not 13th. I think by the beginning of December, 1936, I wrote one letter to Guru Maharaja. I knew he was little kind upon me, so I wrote that \u201cGuru Maharaja, you have got many disciples. I am also one of them. But they are doing direct service to you. Some of them are brahmacaris, some of them sannyasis, but I am a householder. I cannot\u2026\u201d Of course, I was giving sometimes some monetary help, but I could not give any direct service, so I asked him that \u201cIf there is any particular service I can do for you?\u201d So that letter was replied in 13th December, dated 13th December, from Puri. And he passed away on the 31st December. Just a fortnight before. So the reply was the same as he wanted me to do this preaching work in 1922, when I first met him, that \u201cYou try to preach whatever you have learned from me to the English-knowing people in English. That will do good to you and to the people to whom you shall preach. That is my instruction.\u201d  From Srila Prabhupada\u2019s lecture on His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada\u2019s Appearance Day \u2013 Los Angeles, February 7, 1969<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/z8Cj6MS.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nSrila Prabhupada: In 1936, just on the 13th, December, I wrote him one letter.
