In the year of 1914, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur disappeared from this world at the Bhakti Bhavan in Calcutta and in the year of 1915, Srila Gaura Kishora Dasa Babaji disappeared from this world. He was living in Kulia, which is the modern-day Navadwip. Gaura Kishore Dasa Babaji was the very living embodiment of renunciation. As you all know, just to keep away from materialistic people bothering him for material benedictions, he would go into places that materialists would never want to go. You should approach a sadhu with the desire to hear the truth, with the desire to serve, not with the desire just to gain material benedictions or solve your materialistic problems. Sadhus had no patience for these things. But materialistic society, they always want these things. So Gaura Kishore Dasa Babaji would sometimes do his bhajan in the latrine, where people would go to pass stool and urine where nobody would want to go. He was so renounced, so pure, always absorbed and completely immersed in chanting the holy names.
