The house of Mathur Babu’s guru was in Talmagro village, not very far from Sonabere. Mathurbabu went there at the invitation of the family members of his Guru. He took Thakur and Hriday there on an elephant’s back and spent a few weeks there.
Visiting Kalaighat near Ranaghat to see Mathurbabu’s zamindari estate, Sri Sri Thakur was saddened by the want and poor plight of the men and women of Kalaighat, and through Mathurbabu he arranged to distribute a bottle of hair oil, new clothing for them and invited them to a full meal.
Mathur Babu had his ancestral home in Sonabere village near Satkhira (now in Bangladesh). Its adjoining villages were also included in his zamindari (feudal estate). Mathurbabu took Thakur with him to those places.
Bhagwandas Babaji’s Ashram – Sri Sri Thakur graced the Ashram with Mathurbabu. As a result of his association with Bhagwandas Babaji, Babaji was able to identify Thakur as a Holy man..
Sri Sri Thakur went to visit Nabadwip Dham with Mathurbabu. Thakur, even after visiting many Gosai families of Nabadwip was disappointed by the absence of feeling of any divine vibration of Mahaprabhu. On the way back, while boarding the boat, he had a strange vision. Two beautiful teenagers with skin of molten golden complexion and heads surrounded by golden halo were running towards him through the sky raising their hands and smiling. Thakur shouted out, ‘Oi Elore (here they come), Oi Elore (here they come)!’ As the figures approached and entered Thakur’s body, Thakur fell unconscious. This incident signifies that the original Nabadwip, the divine playground of Sri Sri Mahaprabhu, has submerged long back under the Ganges.
Thakur sometimes traveled through Burdwan while visiting Kamarpukur from Dakshineswar.
Thakur once left Kamarpukur to visit Hriday’s home in Shihar, and during his stay there, went to Bishnupur city to testify in a legal case. But in the end, the case was settled amicably and he did not have to testify.
House of Hridayaram, son of Sri Sri Thakur’s cousin Hemangini Devi, was in Shihar. Sri Sri Thakur came here a few times.
In this ancient temple at Jayarambati, Sri Srima performed fast on to death to cure her severe dysentery and was cured by the medicine of the Singabahini deity. From then on,the goddess gained more publicity.
