Great temple. Baba Lokenath Brahmachari was born as the fourth child, to Kamala devi & Ramnarayan Ghosal , in 1730 in a village called Chakla in Barasat district, a few miles to the north of the city of Kolkata. Ramnarayan, believed in the age-old Hindu tradition of dedicating one person from the family to become a renunciate monk, in service to god. Filial attachment prevented the mother from giving up any of her first three children. However, divine phenomena occurred during the birth of her fourth child which persuaded her to willingly dedicate it to God ! He was named ‘Lokenath’ which literally means, the Lord of Lokas (all the worlds) When Lokenath was 11 years old, Ramnarayan handed over the responsibility of this child to a great householder yogi and renowned Vedic scholar, Bhagwan Ganguly, who, realizing the divine providence of Lokenath’s birth, initiated him & his playmate Benimadhav, who also insisted on becoming a sannyasi.
