Iskcon Founder-acharya Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

While performing saṅkīrtana in Rāmakeli-grāma, the Lord danced and sometimes lost consciousness due to love of God. While at Rāmakeli-grāma, an unlimited number of people came to see His lotus feet.
CC Madhya 1.167

In the Bhakti-ratnākara it is stated that Sanātana Gosvāmī's spiritual master, Vidyā-vācaspati, sometimes stayed in the village of Rāmakeli, and he studied all the Vedic literatures from him.
CC Adi 10.84, Purport

The place where Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī formerly lived has now become a place of pilgrimage...There the following places are still visited: (1) the temple of the Śrī Madana-mohana Deity, (2) the Keli-kadamba tree, under which Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu met Sanātana Gosvāmī at night and (3) Rūpasāgara, a large pond excavated by Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī.

Book Launch on Bhumi Puja Day

On Bhumi Puja day, a guide book with full details of the holy places and pastimes of Ramakeli Dham will be launched. It is called "Gourer Pran Ramkeli". It is in Bengali - shortly after, an English version will be available.

Ramakeli

Ramakeli is where the Radha-Madana-Mohana deities were worshipped by Sri Sanatana Goswami. Beside the temple is the spot where Rupa and Sanatana first encountered Lord Chaitanya and fell at His feet.
Close by, a small temple has been constructed under a Kadamba tree, which contains Sri Chaitanya's footprints on stone.
The two lakes next to the temple built by Sanatana Goswami are replicas of Radha Kunda and Syama Kunda in Vrindavana. The area surrounding the lakes is known as Gupta (“Hidden”) Vrindavana.
The nephew, Jiva Goswami, was still young at the time, but he witnessed many of his uncles' pastimes in Ramkeli. Later he joined his uncles in Vrindavan. He was two and a half years old when his uncles surrendered to Lord Chaitanya, and witnessed the occasion from behind a tree - a small temple has been built in the place from where he took darshan of Lord Chaitanya.
A few Kilometers away is the prison where Sanatana Goswami was held by an angry Nawab Hussein Shah who could not tolerate Sanatan being unwilling to continue running his kingdom, especially as Rupa had already left for Vrindavan. Sanatan managed to bribe the guards to set him free after spending over nineteen months inside, and joined his brother in Vrindavan.

Ramakeli Festival

Every year, on the Jaishthya Sankranti (14-15 June), celebrations are held here to commemorate the arrival of Lord Chaitanya at Ramakeli. Vaishnav devotees from all over India gather here at this time where devotional songs are performed. A village fair is also held at this time.
