Sri Chaitanya Gaudiya Math manifest at the site of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur's house where he stayed during his much-cherished service in Sri Puri Dham and where Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur Prabhupad appeared. In his autobiography, Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur remembers very fondly the time spent in Sri Puri Dham on the account of its spiritual environment and the devotional association he found here in those days.
