SRI MAHESHA PANDITA-Disappearance day 29-Dec -05

[Guest guest]

"He who was previously a very munificent cowherd boy

has now appeared

as

Mahesa Pandita. In ecstatic love, he dances like a

madman as though

intoxicated to the beat of a kettle drum. [C.C. Adi

11.32]

 

According to Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika, Mahesa Pandita

was formerly

Maha-Bahusakha in Krsna-lila. He was a companion of

Nityananda Prabhu,

and

was present at the Danda Mahotsava held at Paninati.

 

In Bhakti-Ratnakara, Taranga Nine, it is stated that

when Narottama

dasa

Thakura came to visit Khardaha, he had darshana of the

lotus feet of

Mahesa

Pandita.

 

Vrindavana dasa Thakura has described him as a 'param

mahanta' due to

the

fact that he was very dear to Nityananda Prabhu.

[C.B. Antya 5.744]

 

Mahesa Pandita's original Sripat at Sukh Sagor merged

into the bed of

the

Ganges, but his worshippable deities of Sri Sri

Nitai-Gauranga as well

as

his samadhi were moved to Palpara. There is a railway

station there,

between

Simrali and Cakdaha stations, on the

Sealdah-Krsnanagar line.

 

His disappearance day is on the thirteenth day of the

bright fortnight

in

the month of Pausa.
