Sri Sri Thakur used to come from time to time to see and inquire about Narendranath at his ancestral house at 3 Gaurmohan Mukherjee Street.

This place was blessed with the holy visit of Sri Ramakrishna on 25.6.1884. On the occasion of Rathyatra, when Sri Ramakrishna was at Ishan Mukherjee’s Thanthaniya residence, he came to know that Pandit Shasadhar was staying at Bhudhar Chattopadhyay’s place. In the afternoon, he met Pandit Shasadhar and held extended spiritual discussions with him. This is chronicled in ‘The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna’
On 16-9-1884, Sri Ramkrishna visited Shibnath Shastris house in Rajabajar. As Shibnath was unavailable, he went to the Sadharon Brahmo Samaj temple, where he gave a divine discourse to the Brahmo devotees. However, he could not meet Shibnath that day.
In this place of Sadhana (divine contemplation) established by Ramchandra Dutta, Holy Relics of Sri Ramakrishna was enshrined on 23rd August 1886 (Janmastami Tithi).
After visiting Rambabu’s Udyanbati (garden house), Sri Sri Thakur came here on 26th December 1883. At present, residential houses have been built in this place.
Vaishnabcharan Goswami once took Thakur to the ‘Akhara’ (‘Akhara’ is a distorted form of the word ‘akhand’, which means complete organisation) of the ‘Navarasik’ sect of the Vaishnabas. This Akhara was located in Kachi Bagan not far from Shyambazar.
This church, associated with the Protestant Christian community is located in the BaithakKhana area of Central Calcutta. In Dakshineswar, while practicing Christianity for three consecutive days, Thakur had a vision of Jesus Christ in Panchavati. He saw Jesus the God-Man embracing him and finally merged into his body. Thakur entered into a state of ecstasy (Bhav Samadhi) and lost normal consciousness. He prayed to Goddess Jagadamba to fulfill his wish to observe how the Christians pray.
Once, Sri Sri Thakur visited Nabagopal Ghosh’s house in Badurbagan on the occasion of a grand festival. While listening to the Bhagavat recitals and kirtana in their Chandi Mandapa, Thakur stood up and took the Tribhanga- Muraridhari pose (Krishna posing with three bends – head, waist and legs) and stayed that way while the singer’s sang Kirtan. NabaGopal Babu was blessed to see the Bhuvan Mohan (Enchanter of the World) form of Thakur that day.
‘Sadharan Brahmo Samaj’ was established in the Thanthane area by senior Brahmo devotees like Pandit Shivanath Sastri and Acharya Bijoy Krishna Goswami. This place has been blessed on several occasions by the visit of Sri Ramakrishna. This Sadharan Brahma Samaj was created in 1878 as a result of an ideology confict between the leaders of the Nababidhan Brahmo Samaj and Bharatborshiyo Brahmo Samaj.
