Disappearance day of Srila Uddharana Datta Thakura
The Gold Merchant Who Cooked for Nityananda Prabhu
- Departed
- Krishna Trayodashi, month of Pausha, Shaka 1463 (usually given as c. 1541; one account often copied online gives 1552)
- Place
- Saptagrama or Uddharanpur, Bengal (a separate, less well-supported tradition places his final years in Vrindavana)
Srila Uddharana Datta Thakura disappeared on the Krishna Trayodashi, the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight, in the month of Pausha. The year is given as 1463 in the Shaka era. This is usually converted to 1541 in the Gregorian calendar, but one account that is often copied online gives 1552. Small differences like this often appear when dates are passed down through many retellings, so both years are given here instead of quietly choosing one.
