Finally, in the year 1883 AD, Gosaiji arrived at Akash Ganga hill at [[Gaya, India|Gaya]], where he ultimately obtained his Guru - Sripad Brahmananda [[Paramahamsa]]dev. The incidents of the initiation of Gosaiji was later penned down by him in the Bamabodhini magazine where Gosaiji wrote under the pseudonym - Ashabati. Gosaiji writes that he and another [[yogi]] was staying at Akash Ganga hill in the ashram of Raghuvar Das Baba. One day when the ashram was empty, the local shepherds reported that an effulgent [[Mahātmā|mahatma]] had arrived at the peak of AkashGanga hill. Gosaiji took some edibles and went to meet the mahatma. After a brief introduction, the mahatma revealed that his residence is at [[Lake Manasarovar|Manasarovar]] near [[Mount Kailash]] and he was the [[Guru]], Gosaiji was searching for; taking Gosaiji on his lap, the mahatma initiated him and disappeared. Gosaiji immediately fell unconscious into a state of [[samadhi]] that lasted eleven days !! Raghuvar Das Baba looked after him during this period. After a brief period of sadhana at the Akash Ganga hill, Gosaiji at the direction of his Guru arrived at Benaras. After completing three days as a [[Brahmacarya|Brahmachari]], he received sannyasa from Swami Hariharananda Saraswati in the year 1885 AD. Brahmo Bijoy Krishna Goswami thus made a complete reversal to [[Hinduism]] as the [[monk]] Achyutananda Saraswati.
