Surendranath Mitra’s house was near Narendranath’s house in Simulia and adjacent to Gourmohan Mukherjee Lane (behind the Oxford Mission). Sri Sri Thakur came to this house many times. This house has also been demolished.

On a late evening of 16th November 1882, Sri Sri Thakur came to Rajmohan’s house in Simulia to observe Narendra and other youths performing worship of Brahmo Samaj. Sri Sri Thakur after seeing the worship of the youth had refreshments in the house of Rajmohan.

Thakur visited many times Narendranath’s grandmother’s housea at no.7, Ramatanu Basu Lane not far from Narendra’s ancestral house. Narendranath lived in a secluded small room on the second floor of this house for the purpose of studying, singing, playing music etc.

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’
