Sri Navadvipa-dhama-pracarini-sabha

[Guest guest]

> In which year was it founded?

 

>From an anonymous biography of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura (available at

www.veda.harekrsna.cz/library/index.htm):

 

(Establishing Gaura-Visnupriya Deities at the Yogapitha)

In February 1891 he gave a lecture on his investigation into the

whereabouts of the actual birthsite of Sri Caitanya; his audience

included highly learned men from all over Bengal, who became very

enthusiastic at the news. Out of this gathering the Sri Navadvipa

Dhama Pracarini Sabha was formed for spreading the glories of

Navadvipa-Mayapura. That year, on Gaura Purnima, a big festival was

held that witness the installation of Gaura-Visnupriya Deities at the

Yogapitha. All the learned pandits, having deliberated fully on BVP's

evidence, agreed that the Yogapitha was the true birthsite of

Mahaprabhu.

 

 

Hope this helps.
