Swami Vivekananda’s Ancestral House

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. According to the writings of Sri Mahendranath Dutta, Thakur never entered this house. However, according to Latu Maharaj (Swami Adbhutananda) and Master Mahasaya (Sri M – writer of Kathamrita), Thakur visited Narendra’s house and Latu Maharaj was with him.

Nather Bagan

Nather Bagan is presently located in the Sobhabazar region of North Kolkata. In 1853, when Sri Ramakrishna (then Gadadhar) accompanied his elder brother Ramkumar Chattopadhyay to Calcutta for the first time, they stayed here temporarily for a few days. Later, they left this temporary residence, and settled in the Jhamapukur region of North Calcutta (from 1853 to May 1855). The place where they lived in Nath’s Bagan Street, does not exist now.
