About Baba Lokenath
Baba Lokenath Brahmachari was born on Janmastami, the birthday of Lord Krishna, on 18th Bhadra, 1137 Bengali Era (roughly 29th August 1730) to a Brahmin family in the village of Chaurasi Chakla, named as Kochua, a couple of miles
from Kolkata.
His father Shree Ramnarayan Ghoshal and mother Shrimati Kamaladevi were both wholeheartedly God's true devotee. Ramnarayan Ghosal's one wish in life was to dedicate a child to the path of renunciation to liberate the family. Ramnarayan expressed his wish to his beloved wife and she agreed to stand beside her husband on this pious decision. Eventually when Kamaladevi became pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful son, Ramnarayan reminded her about their decision. Poor mother was in tears and begged him not to give away this child but also promised to dedicate the next one. Thus the couple had three sons, but none of them could be taken away from the mother Kamaladevi's lap, and Ramnarayan's wish remained unfulfilled.Read more..
