দক্ষিণেশ্বরের পার্শ্বে আলমবাজারে তাঁহার বাড়িতে ঠাকুর গিয়াছিলেন

In an ecstatic state, Thakur would come sometimes to this house and eat food there. The priest of Vishnu Mandir Sri Ram Chatterjee who used to stay in Dakshineswar was another person.

According to Sri Mahendranath Gupta, author of Sri Sri Ramakrishna-Kathamrita, Sri Sri Thakur once visited this timber yard in Belur at the request of Kapten (affectionately addressed by Thakur Sri Ramakrishna) Viswanath Upadhayaya. At that time, this warehouse for storing timber was located in the northside of the first floor of the house adjacent to the one known as old Mathbari of Belur Math. It is mentioned in the 15th volume of Sri-Ma-Darshan. The senior monks of the monastery also came to know about this from Master Mahasaya who heard about it from Sri Sri Thakur himself.

বালীতে কালাচাঁদ মুখোপাধ্যায়ের বাড়িতে হরিসভায় — শ্রীশ্রীঠাকুর শ্রীমদ্‌ভাগবত পাঠ, ভগবৎ লীলাবিষয়ক কীর্তন বা যাত্রা শ্রবণের জন্য হরিসভা প্রভৃতি অনেক স্থলে গিয়াছিলেন। বালীতে ভক্ত কালাচাঁদ মুখোপাধ্যায়ের গৃহে হরিসভায় শ্রীমদ্ভাগবত পাঠ ও কীর্তনে যোগ দিয়াছিলেন শ্রীশ্রীরামকৃষ্ণ পুঁথিতে উল্লিখিত আছে।

Bhadrakali village is located on the other side of Dakshineswar. It is stated in Sri Sri Ramakrishna-Punthi that Thakur was impressed listening to the singing of Panchali (ballad) by Shibu Acharya.

This place is famous for the temple of Jagannath. During bathing trips and Ratha yatra the place is very crowded. During his stay in Dakshineswar, Sri Sri Thakur used to come here many times for Devdarshan with devotees, especially on the occasion of rath yatra.

The zamindars and other respectable people of this village used to feel very happy visiting the temple of Dakshineswara. They were particularly impressed and captivated by listening to spiritual discourses of Sri Ramakrishna as well as community singing of hymns (Kirtan).

Thakur went here with Sri Vijayakrishna Goswami for darshan.

Bhairabi Brahmani used to live under the canopy of this ghat on the banks of Ganges. From here he used to travel to the temple of Dakshineswar every day.
