THE TITLE OF ‘SIDDHANTA SARASWATI’

 

27 Jan: When Sri Bimala Prasad was a fifth grade student, he began to show a natural talent for mathematics and astrology. He went to study the astrological texts with the great scholar Mahesh Chandra Churamani from the Siyakhala village on the Tarakeshwar railway line. In a very short time he mastered the arts of calculating astrological charts. Later he went on to advanced studies of astrology with Aloya resident, Sundar Lal Pandit.

 

 

The talents of the fifteen-year-old boy astounded Churamani Mahashaya. From this young age, he was called ‘SRI SIDDHANTA SARASWATI’ by his teachers. After taking sannyas in 1918, he took on the name Parivrajakacharya Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati. At other times, he identified himself as Varshabhanavi Dayita Das.
