The 66th disappearance day festival of Jagad-guru Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Thakura was celebrated at the asrama on Saturday 13th December.
Early in the morning, arati and puspanjali were offered to Srila Sarasvati Thakura and Srila Narasingha Maharaja led the devotees in singing 'Je anilo prema-dana'. He then spoke of the pastimes and precepts of Srila Sarasvati Thakura. During the lecture Srila Narasingha Maharaja explained a number of subjects such as how Srila Sarasvati Thakura appeared in answer to Thakura Bhaktivinoda's prayers, how Srila Sarasvati Thakura implemented the desires of Bhaktivinoda, how the birthplace of Mahaprabhu was discovered by Bhaktivinoda and was put under the care of Sarasvati Thakura, the concept of the adbhuta-mandira predicted by Lord Nityananda, and the faulty siddha-pranali of the Sahajiyas.
At midday, there was a large feast in honor of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada that included many preparations that were his personal favorites. In the evening, "Sri Sri Prabhupada Padma Stavakah" and "Srila Prabhupada Vandana" accompanied by Nama-sankirtana were sung by the devotees.
