Rabindranath did his meditation in temple in the morning of 5th Baishakh and that was published in Agrahayan-issue of Santiniketan, 1330. He mentioned in his speech;
" A few days ago I went to Kalighat , saw the distressed condition of "Adiganga" and became sad. The river has lost its life by the sedimentation of alluvium and refuse, The flow of the river is no more for sailing ships or boats . It has lost its power of communication to sea and by that way lost its dignity of being a sacred one. When its flow was alive the merchants went to Ceylon,  Gujrat and other places business - it was like a sacred thread of friendship of man of this country to some other countries. That was why it was termed a sacred one. Now it has lost its dignity. Santiniketan will fill up the blanks and establish friendship between the countries of the world. ...."
