JANMASTAMI & BACK TO GODHEAD MAGAZINE
Sarasvati Thakur liked Abhay-da (Srila Prabhupada) and would be very pleased to see him because he knew that Abhay-de liked to preach. On the occasion of the annual varshik-utsav (festival of Janmastami), in Sarasvati Thakur's room, upstairs at the Baghbazaar Math, Jotisekhar saw Abhay-de sitting near his guru maharaja, who told him to start a magazine in Bengali, giving him the idea, "ghore phiray chala - return back to home 'Back To Godhead,' as a title. He also quoted a sloka in Sanskrit: "yad gatva nanuvartante, tad dhama paramama mama (Gita 15.6)," on the same topic and then said, "This idea of going back to Godhead is the basis of the Gaudiya Math." (From HH Bhakti Vikasa Swami's book on SBSST.)
