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.
