On February 6, 2014, Wikipedia commemorated the 140th anniversary of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura’s appearance on its Main page under the Did you know… section.

Readers could see a photograph on the 11-year-old Bimala Prasad with a blurb that reads:

Did you know …that Bimala Prasad (pictured) would be feared as the “lion guru” and respected as a “living encyclopedia”?

The clickable link at Bimala Prasad takes readers to the newly expanded article on Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhaktisiddhanta_Sarasvati_Thakura
