Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura was born Bimala Prasad at 3:30 in the afternoon on 6 February 1874. The house was a few hundred meters from the Jagannatha Temple on Puri's Grand Road. This is the same road down which the deities of Jagannatha, Baladeva, and Subhadra are pulled each year during the Ratha-yatra festival. His father, Kedarnath Datta, was then posted in Puri as a deputy magistrate.

One page on gaudiyahistory.iskcondesiretree.com is titled "Disappearance Day of Shri Purushottama Das Thakura." Yet neither that page nor any other available source gives an actual date, tithi, or place for his disappearance. This gap is reported here openly, not hidden. Purushottama Dasa Thakura's disappearance is simply not recorded in the material available.
