Pratipat, Kṛṣṇa (dark) pakṣa Āṣāḍha (Vāmana) māsa · Gaurābda 540 Nakṣatra: Pūrva-āṣāḍhā
Disappearance day of Srila Shyamananda Pandit
The Milkman's Son Who Carried the Goswamis Home
- Departed
- Krishna-pratipada (first lunar day of the dark fortnight), month of Ashadha; year given as 1623 AD by one detailed source, and as Shaka 1552 / 1630 AD by other sources; the sources disagree
- Place
- Nrisinghpur (present-day Kanupur, near Balasore, Mayurbhanj district, Odisha) by the fullest account; Gopiballabhpur by a more widely repeated one - sources disagree
Like several other parts of Shyamananda Pandit's life, his final years come down to us through sources that agree on the main events. But they disagree on some real details that can be checked. We report the different versions here, instead of picking whichever one sounds more authoritative.
