Swamiji was born in a village in the Guptipara
district, West Bengal, in a rich Brahmin family. He
was an orthodox Brahmin, and used to perform
puja to Shiva lingam and other deities by reciting
Vedic mantras.
Swamiji contains good behaviour from his
childhood. He contains helping tendency, and
used to give his own pocket money for the welfare
of the poor, and would get scolded by his father.
He studied well and got good marks in all the
subjects. He lost his mother at his teenage and felt
very much worried due to the unbearable loss.
After that, he began to wander in the streets and
didn’t pay attention to his father, and began to
spend his time with his friends.
Due to that, his father had got angry with him, and
asked him to leave from the house. Swamiji didn’t
get upset, and went to Banaras, and joined in a
private company, and spent his salary mainly for
the purpose of doing charity works. 
At Banaras, he met the great spiritual Guru Sri
LahiriMahasaya, and he was trained in Kriya
Yoga, under his guidance. After some time, he
went to his native place, and got married and had
children. After spending few years of married life,
he lost interest in family bondage, and left his
family, and began to travel to Himalayas, and
there he met Mahavatar Babaji, and received his
blessings, and met his Guru Lahiri Mahasaya, and
joined with him as a disciple, and was deeply
involved in doing yoga and meditation. He also got
large number of disciples, and he initiated them in
practising Kriya Yoga.
After spending many years with his guru, after his
death, he has attained MUKTI.
Let us worship the great saint and be blessed.
