===Renunciation===
Tarak continued to visit Dakshineswar till Ramakrishna fell ill and was brought, first to the Shyampukur house and then later to the Cossipore Garden House. In Cossipore, Tarak joined with others including [[Narendranath Dutta]], later known as [[Swami Vivekananda]], to serve Ramakrishna.

After the death of Ramakrishna in 1886, the small group of direct disciples who decided to embrace [[Sannyasa|monastic life]] gathered round in a dilapidated house in Baranagar; Tarak was one of the first to settle there. Thus began the Baranagar monastery of the [[Ramakrishna Math]].
