The 1950s proved very difficult years for Abhay. He returned to Jhansi , but he had to leave his building when the governor's wife insisted that it be used for a ladies' club instead of the League of Devotees. Without a place to stay and with no real support from materialistic men, he left Jhansi -but not to start a worldwide association of devotees. After moving to an Ashrama in Delhi and living for a while with some of his God brothers, he was on his own again, a mendicant, staying from week to week in various temples or in the homes of whatever wealthy, pious people would receive him. In terms of food, clothing, and shelter, these were the most difficult times he had ever gone through.

Since his childhood he had always had proper food and good clothes, and there had been no question of where he would live. He had been the pet child of his father, and he had received special guidance and affection from Srila Bhaktisaddhanta Sarasvati. This condition did not affect Srila Prabhupada because a pure devotee is always happy ( brahma bhuta prasanna-atma ) and is liberated in this very life itself.

He spent his time writing and approaching donors, to whom he preached Bhagavad-gita . His goal wasn't to find a permanent residence but to print his transcendental literature and to establish a powerful movement for spreading Krishna Consciousness. And for this he needed money. So he was calling on wealthy men in their offices and homes, presenting his manuscripts and explaining his mission. But few responded. And when they did, the donation was usually only five or ten rupees. Eventually, however, he collected enough to again print Back to Godhead.

Lacking money to buy even proper clothes, Abhay went through the chilly Delhi winter without a jacket. He would regularly walk to the printer's to read the latest proofs of Back to Godhead. When the printer asked him why he was intent on producing his newspaper under such hardships, he replied,Ħħ It is my mission." He managed to pay the printer small amounts at intervals.

After picking up the copies from the printer, Abhay would .walk around the city selling them. He would take a seat at a tea stand, and when someone sat beside him he would ask him to please take a copy of Back to Godhead. Through his articles and editorials, Abhay criticized the materialistic and atheistic tendencies of modem civilization. He also drew on his personal experiences. Responding to the resistance (polite and impolite) that he met while selling Back to Godhead, he wrote an article, "No Time, a Chronic Disease of the Common Man." His writing was never shrill, strident, or fanatical despite his desperate poverty and the urgency of his message. He wrote expecting to find his reader prepared to hear sound philosophy and willing to accept the truth, especially when presented logically, relevantly, and authoritatively.
