Today is the disappearance day of His Divine Grace Srila Narottam Das Thankur 14 Oct 2022
This is how his Miracle disappearance goes:
During his incredible disappearance pastime Narottam Dasa Thakura asked his disciples to bring him to the Ganges and pour the water on his body with their bare hands. While bathing they saw his skin turn white and it started to melt. Touched by the water of the Ganges, his body was turning into milk and was just merging into the Ganges. They saw their Gurudev was getting smaller slowly melting away. While bathing their hearts were breaking in pain and sadness and shedding tears, but they couldn’t stop, because their guru ordered them, they had to follow the order of their guru. As they were pouring water on his body, his body merging into the Ganges, it was also tears more than milk, to watch their guru pass away in front of their own eyes. It was just milk and tears flowing on and on as an offering unto mother Ganga, until finally he disappeared.
A great vaishnav saint loved by chaitnaya mahprabu, Narottama Dasa Thakura was just always in lamentation and separation from the vaishnavas but simultaneously always experiencing the greatest joy during his last moments.
He wrote many devotional songs about the spiritual master, the devotees, devotional service, the six Goswamis, Gauranga Nityananda and Radha Krishna. Although composed with sweet simple melodies in bengali language, Narottama Dasa Thakura’s songs give deep philosophical understanding and inspired devotion. Srila Prabhupada often sang these bhajans and was very fond of his writing considering them non-different from Vedic shastra, He quoted them in his Bhagavatam lectures and conversations.
“Prabhupāda: Give me water. (Prabhupāda sings Hari hari bifale,) You can replay this? (Break)
Professor: Who has written this?
Prabhupāda: Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura.
narottama-dāsa koy, nā ṭheliho rāṅgā pāy,
tomā bine ke āche āmāra
Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura’s singing, hari hari bifale janama goṅāinu: “My dear Lord, I have simply wasted my time. Bifale, without any profit. Because I got this human form of life, but I missed the opportunity for worshiping Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa.” Manuṣya-janama pāiyā, rādhā-kṛṣṇa nā bhajiyā.” And by doing this, I have taken poison knowingly.” Jāniyā śuniyā biṣa khāinu. Then golokera prema-dhana, hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana.” This nāma-saṅkīrtana is not any material thing. It is the ecstatic love of Kṛṣṇa in the Goloka Vṛndāvana. “- Room Conversation with Sanskrit Professor, Dr. Suneson — September 5, 1973. Stockholm
