Recognizing Srila Prabhupäda's philosophical learning and devotion, the Gaudiya Vaisñava Society honored him in 1947 with the title "Bhaktivedanta." In 1950, at the age of fifty-four, Srila Prabhupäda retired from married life, adopting the vänaprastha (retired) order to devote more time to his studies and writing. Srila Prabhupäda traveled to the holy city of Vrindävana, where he lived in very humble circumstances in the historic medieval temple of Rädhä-Dämodara. There he engaged for several years in deep study and writing. He accepted the renounced order of life (sannyäsa) in 1959. At Rädhä-Dämodara, Srila Prabhupäda began work on his life's masterpiece: a multivolume annotated translation of the eighteen-thousand-verse Srimad-Bhägavatam (Bhägavata Puräna). He also wrote Easy Journey to Other Planets.
