Srila Bhaktivinod Thakura, the father of Namhatta resided in the island of Godrumadvipa, one of the 9 islands of Navadvipa Dham. His residence was known as Svananda-Sukhada Kunja, the personal grove of Srimati Lalita Devi. His Bhajan Kutir is in Surabhi kunj, not far from his residence. In this place he wrote many books. He located the appearance place of Mahaprabhu and collected money by begging from door to door and built a temple in that holy place.
He left his body in Puri Dham in Samadhi. His disappearance day is on the same tithi of the Disappearance day of Gadadhara Pandit, his worshipable Lord. In Mayapur, in front of Pancha-Tattva altar a deity of Bhaktivinod Thakur is seated on a Vyasa Asana. Devotees offer flower garlands to the great Acharya. After bhoga offering Pushpanjali was offered to Gadadhara Pandit and then to Bhaktivinod Thakur. A Maha-arati was also offered to the Seventh Goswami and then Prasad was distributed to the devotees to break their fast.
Bhaktivinod Thakur Ki jay!
