Sri Sri Thakur lived in a room on the north-west corner of the temple premises for a long period of 14 years (from 1871 to 1885). During this period, many saints, scholars, followers, householder devotees and seekers of truth used to visit him in this room to listen to his views and discourses on God and also of the days of his Sadhana (spiritual practice). They used to listen to Kirtan (musical form of narration, shared recitation or devotional singing) and Bhajan (closely connected to Kirtan, both being musical expression of devotional themes) and also used to witness him going often into Samadhi (spiritual ecstasy, communion with the Divine) in this place. He used to stand on the semi-circular verandah on the west side of this room and watch Ganga (Ganges). In this room, at present Sri Sri Thakur’s pictures have been placed on both the cots used by him and are worshipped daily.<\/span><\/p>\n\t
