শ্রীরামকৃষ্ণদেবের পূতদেহ এই শ্মশানঘাটে ১৬-৮-১৮৮৬ তারিখে ভক্তবৃন্দ লইয়া গিয়া অগ্নিতে আহুতি প্রদান করেন। ওই স্থানটিতে একটি স্মারক মন্দির নির্মিত হইয়াছে। ইহার বর্তমান নাম — শ্রীরামকৃষ্ণ মহাশ্মশান।
On the advice of the doctor, Sri Sri Thakur was shifted in December 1885 from Shyampukur Bati to this open and spacious garden house of Gopal Chandra Ghosh.
‘বলরাম মন্দির’ নামে বর্তমানে খ্যাত। শ্রীশ্রীঠাকুর শতাধিকবার এই বাড়িতে শুভাগমন করিয়া মধ্যে মধ্যে রাত্রি বাস করিয়াছেন। ভক্তসঙ্গে মিলন, বলরামের শুদ্ধ অন্ন গ্রহণ, রথযাত্রা উৎসবে সংকীর্তন, বিভিন্ন সময়ে ঈশ্বরীয় প্রসঙ্গ, ভাবাবেশে ভক্তদের প্রতি কৃপা, সমাধি, প্রভৃতি শ্রীশ্রীঠাকুরের বহুলীলা এই বাড়িতেই প্রকটিত হইয়াছিল। ঠাকুর এই বাড়িকে তাঁর ‘কেল্লা’ বলিতেন। বর্তমানে এই বাড়িটির বর্হিভাগ রামকৃষ্ণ মঠের সাধুদের দ্বারা গঠিত পৃথক ট্রাস্টীগণের পরিচালনাধীন। ঠিকানা — ৭ নং গিরিশ অ্যাভিনিউ, কলি-৩।

Once, Sri Sri Thakur visited Nabagopal Ghosh’s house in Badurbagan on the occasion of a grand festival. While listening to the Bhagavat recitals and kirtana in their Chandi Mandapa, Thakur stood up and took the Tribhanga- Muraridhari pose (Krishna posing with three bends – head, waist and legs) and stayed that way while the singer’s sang Kirtan. NabaGopal Babu was blessed to see the Bhuvan Mohan (Enchanter of the World) form of Thakur that day.
‘Sadharan Brahmo Samaj’ was established in the Thanthane area by senior Brahmo devotees like Pandit Shivanath Sastri and Acharya Bijoy Krishna Goswami. This place has been blessed on several occasions by the visit of Sri Ramakrishna. This Sadharan Brahma Samaj was created in 1878 as a result of an ideology confict between the leaders of the Nababidhan Brahmo Samaj and Bharatborshiyo Brahmo Samaj.
This house is at the corner of Guruprasad Chowdhury Lane. On 10-12-1881, Thakur graced Rajendranath Mitra’s house and danced and sang in the presence of Keshab Chandra Sen, the most prominent leader of the Brahmo Samaj. Rajendranath Mitra was a renowned figure in those days. He worked at the post of ‘Deputy magistrate’ and rose to the position of assistant secretary and finance minister to the viceroy during the English Era. He was the maternal uncle of two of the lay disciples of Sri Ramakrishna – Sri Manomohan Mitra and Ramchandra Dutta.
Sri Ramakrishna visited this place on the 5th of August 1882 at 4pm along with Master Mahasaya (Mahendranath Gupta, the author of Kathamrita), and he had long discussions with Vidyasagar till 9 pm. These discussions were held in a room situated on the second floor of this two storey building. The detailed description of that day’s meeting is available in Kathamrita.
