2 songs to sing todayGaṅgā Pūjā
A day to honour Mother Gaṅgā, who flows from the feet of the Lord.
Appearance day of Srila Gangamata Goswamini
Renunciate Founder of the Ganga-mata Math, Jagannatha Puri
- Appeared
- c. 1601 (Shukla-dashami, Jyestha), according to the Ganga-mata Math's own record
- Place
- Puntiya (also Puthia/Puntaya), Rajshahi district, Bengal (present-day Bangladesh)
Every biography of Gangamata Goswamini begins in the same place, with a wealthy Bengali household that could not keep her. She was born Sachi Devi, also spelled Saci Devi. She had the same name as Srimati Sachi Devi, the mother of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, but she was a different woman.
Disappearance day of Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana
Author of the Govinda-bhashya
- Departed
- traditionally 1768; some scholars place it as late as 1793 (disputed)
- Place
- Vrindavana
Like most of the rest of his life, Baladeva Vidyabhusana's disappearance cannot be dated exactly. Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition generally gives 1768 as the year, and this is the figure repeated in most temple and devotional biographies. Wikipedia's account, which uses more academic sources, says instead that he lived until around 1793. That is a difference of twenty-five years. As far as the available sources show, no scholar has yet been able to settle it.
