  Ram Chandra Datta    

 

Ram Chandra Datta - Frank Parlato Jr.B.Calcutta October 30 1851. d. January 17, 1899.

In 1883, he bought a Garden House at ‘Kankurgachi.’ He named it, “Yogodyana”. Ramakrishna visited that place on 26 December 1883.

 

After Sri Ramakrishna's passing away, part of his relics were installed at the Kankurgachi Yogodyana on Janmashtami, (August 23, 1886.)

Ram Chandra Datta was the first to publish a biography of Ramakrishna, and first to build a temple for him.

His relics are placed next to Sri Ramakrishna's temple at Yogodyana. Before he passed away he told his disciples: ‘When I die please bury a little of the ashes of my body at the entrance to Yogodyana. Whoever enters this place will walk over my head, and thus I shall get the touch of the Master’s devotees’ feet forever.’
