From the books of Lord Ramakrishna, I have read much about the spiritual sadhanas he did at Dakshineswar Kali temple, from then on it was long term desire to visit this temple and finally it got fulfilled on this day

Daksineswar Kali temple 

Early morning around 7 am, the driver Madhan Adhikari came and picked up me & my parents, he drove directly to Dakshineswar Kali temple.He also acted as tourist guide giving information about various places.

First we got to visit Panchavati where Sri Sri Thakur meditated for years..

Next, Madhan showed us 'Rani Rashmoni' memorial, Rani Rashmoni - who built Dakshineswar Kali temple.

Next we got to see 'Nahabat' where Holy mother Sri Sarada Devi stayed for years and did service to Thakur. It was a small room & it was a real wonder how she got to manage all activities in such a small room.We also got a chance to view Thakur's room where he did spiritual sadhanas and met his devotees.

Then got blessings from Radha Kantha temple.
Most Blessed day of my life at the Kali temple worshiped by my Guru Sri Sri Thakur..
