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.

While living as a widow in her parental home at Jayarambati, Bhanu Pishi had vision Sri Sri Thakur as her Ishta-Devata (tutelary deity that one worships). Thakur visited her house once. Bhanu Pishi’s real name was Maan Garobini. Since Sri Sri Ma used to address her as Pishi, Sri Sri Thakur gave her the name Bhanu Pishi.

The zamindar (feudal landowner) of this village, Sri Ramprasad Mitra used to live in a rented house at Jhamapukur in Calcutta.
