Pictured here is our small deity of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, at our ashram in Carpinteria, on his disappearance day, just before we offered him bhoga, pushpanjali, and arati. My spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, said, “Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura came in this world to execute the mission of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. So he executed it. And when it was required, he left this place and went to another place to do the same business.” And Srila Prabhupada prayed to his spiritual master, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, to be merciful to us, Srila Sarasvati Thakura’s servant’s servants.
