Later, in 1906 he went to Puri, the holy place of Jagannath. One day he happened to notice a Christian missionary standing before the Jagannath Temple, strongly upbraiding Hinduism. He could not bear to hear Hinduism denounced in that sacred place. He loudly began to chant the name of the Lord: “Hari bol! Hari bol!” The crowd quickly picked it up, and the missionary’s voice was drowned out. The priests immediately expressed their gratitude to Premananda and said, “We had been fearful of taking any action to stop the missionary.” Premananda quickly left the place, abashed and sad at heart over his impulsive action. That night Sri Ramakrishna appeared to him in a dream and asked him: “Why did you break up that gathering? That man was also spreading my name and teachings. Tomorrow you must find the missionary and apologize.” The next morning, after a considerable search, Premananda located the house of the missionary and humbly asked his forgiveness.
