PURPORT

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura writes in a song (Saranagati 31.3):

gaura amara, ye saba sthane, karala bhramana range

se-saba sthana, heriba ami, pranayi-bhakata-sange “May I visit all the holy places associated with the lilas of Lord Caitanya and His devotees.” A devotee should make a point of visiting all the places where Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu performed His pastimes.

Indeed, pure devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu even want to see the places He simply visited for only hours or minutes.
