June 23, 2013. Sri Sridhara Pandita disappearance.

khola-becataya khyatah panditah shridharo dvijah
asid vraje hasya-karo yo namna kusumasavah

(Gaura-ganoddesha-dipika 133)
One of the twelve Gopals in Krishna lila was named Kusumasava. He appeared in Gaura-lila as Sridhara Pandit, who was given the nickname khola-beca, “bark-seller.”
Sridhara Pandit was a resident of Nabadwip. Nabadwip is composed of nine islands, of which the central island is known as Antardvipa. He used to live at the northern extremity of Mayapur and to the southeast of the Chand Kazi’s samadhi, in the place that now goes by the name of Sridhara Angan. 

During his lifetime, it was a banana orchard, which nowadays is no longer the case, at least not to our mortal eyes. During this incarnation, Sridhara played the role of a poor Brahmin who made his living selling the produce of his banana garden. In order to keep the memory of Sridhara Pandit alive, the founder of the world-wide Chaitanya and Gaudiya Maths, Nitya-lila-pravishta Om Vishnupada Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Prabhupada, discovered and revealed this site of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s pastimes. Deity worship was established there and it continued until after Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur’s disappearance. Now, because of problems with local people, the place is once again losing its beauty. Even so, during the Nabadwip parikrama, devotees still pay their obeisances at that spot to the memory of Sridhara Pandit.

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur has written as follows in his Nabadvipa-dhama-mahatmya: “Sridhara Pandit’s home comes after the weavers’ neighborhood. Gauranga Mahaprabhu ended the kirtan there.” Nityananda Prabhu says the following to Jiva Goswami:
“Out of his mercy, Mahaprabhu Gauranga Hari would end the kirtan here so that the devotees could rest. It is therefore known as vishrama-sthana, or the Lord’s place of rest. So let us also repose a while here at the house of Sridhara Pandit.”
(Nabadwip-dhama-mahatmya)
According to this same book, there was previously a large tank near Sridhara’s banana orchard, but this too is no longer visible.

Uno de los doce Gopalas en Krishna; Kusumasava. Apareció en Gaura-lila como Sridhara Pandit, que recibió el apodo khola-beca.
Sridhara Pandit era un residente de Navadvipa. Nabadwip se compone de nueve islas, de las cuales la isla central se conoce como Antarduip. Solía ​​vivir en el extremo norte de Mayapur y al sureste del samadhi del Chand Kazi, en el lugar que hoy se conoce con el nombre de Sridhara Angan. Durante su vida, fue un huerto de plátano, sin embargo hoy en día ya no es así, al menos no a nuestros ojos mortales. En esta encarnación, Sridhara desempeñó el papel de un pobre brahmán que se ganaba la vida vendiendo los productos de su huerta plátano. Con el fin de mantener la memoria de Sridhara Pandit vida, el fundador de la mundialmente Chaitanya y Gaudiya Maths, Nitya-lila-pravishta Om Vishnupada Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Prabhupada, descubrió y reveló el lugar de los pasatiempos de Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Adoración de la Deidad se estableció allí y continuó hasta después de la desaparición de Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami de Thakur. Ahora, debido a problemas con la población local, el lugar está una vez más perdiendo su belleza. A pesar de ello, durante el parikrama Nabadwip, devotos siguen pagando sus reverencias a ese lugar a la memoria de Sridhara Pandit.
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur ha escrito lo siguiente en su Nabadvipa-dhama-mahatmya: "la casa de Sridhara Pandit se produce después de barrio de los tejedores. . Gauranga Mahaprabhu terminó el kirtan allí "Nityananda Prabhu dice lo siguiente a Jiva Goswami:
"Fuera de la misericordia, Gauranga Mahaprabhu Hari terminaría el kirtan aquí para que los devotos pudieran descansar. Por lo tanto, se conoce como Vishrama-sthana, o el lugar de descanso del Señor. Así que nos vamos también reposo un tiempo aquí en la casa de Sridhara Pandit ".(Navadvipa-dhama-mahatmya)
De acuerdo con este mismo libro, hubo previamente un depósito grande cerca de la huerta de plátanos de Sridhara, pero esto también es ya no es visible.
