Disappearance day
Disappearance of Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī
Dates follow the Māyāpur (India) reckoning, the base of most published Vaiṣṇava calendars. The tradition sets each day by the tithi present at local sunrise, so your own date may fall a day earlier or later — see the calendar for your city.
Jīva Gosvāmī, nephew and student of Rūpa and Sanātana, wrote the Ṣaṭ-sandarbha — six treatises that lay out theology in order, from the nature of reality to the nature of love. The chart's ranking of the realms, its account of Kṛṣṇa as the complete form of the absolute, and its treatment of the all trace to his systematization. He guided the Vṛndāvana community for decades after the older Gosvāmīs.
