Bhaktivinode Thakura Avirbhava-mahotsava (appearance day)

Born September 2, 1838. His childhood was spent at his maternal grandfather's house at Bérnagar (Ulägräm), from where he came to Calcutta at the age of thirteen, after the death of his father. Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura later took to the government service and was transferred to Bengal. Bhaktivinoda's next move was to Puré. The government commissioner was much pleased to get him in his division, and he asked him to watch the affairs of the temple of Jagannätha on behalf of the government.

Bhaktivinoda Thäkura was so anxious to see the land of Lord Caitanya that he applied many times for a transfer to any town nearby. Upon not receiving the desired transfer, he formally submitted a resignation from public service, but it was refused. Then, to his great rejoicing, he obtained a transfer to Krishnanagar, twenty-five miles from Navadvépa, Mäyäpur.

The year 1895 was the most eventful year in the history of the Vaiñëava world, and Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura was the prime mover of the events. It was in this year that he officially memorialized the birthsite of Çré Caitanya and brought its true identity and importance before the public eye. Thousands of visitors were present at a function held at the spot.

It was at the beginning of the twentieth century that he chose to live at Puré and build a house on the beachfront there. He accepted the renounced order of life by taking bäbäjé initiation from Çréla Gaurakiçora däsa Bäbäjé in 1908. Though he was leading the life of a renounced soul, he could not avoid the men of all description who constantly visited him.

In 1910 he shut himself up and remained in a perfect state of samädhi, or full concentration on the eternal pastimes of the Lord. In 1914 he passed on to the blissful realm of Goloka on the day which is observed as the disappearance day of Çré Gadädhara. Here we quote a stanza written about the samädhi of Haridäsa Öhäkura which Çréla Bhaktivinoda wrote sometime in 1871 to explain what influence a Vaiñëava carries in this world even after his departure: He reasons ill who tells that Vaiñëavas die When thou art living still in sound! The Vaiñëavas die to live, and living try To spread the holy name around!
