Lokenath Brahmachari
Baba Lokenath Brahmachari was a Bengali yogi. Birth and Child Life 
Lokenath Ghoshal is the birth name of Baba Lokenath. He was born and grew up in Kachuadham (in present-day West Bengal). It is said that Lokenath was born on Janmashtami (the birthday of Krishna) in 1730. He was the fourth child of Ramnarayan Ghoshal (father) and Kamaladevi (mother). His parents were a conservative and pious Bengali Brahmin couple. As was the custom in his time, his parents had reportedly committed to making one of their sons a sannyasi. At the age of 10, Loknath's father approached Pandit Bhagavan Ganguly, a local yogi who was a householder, about becoming his son's teacher. Bhagavan Ganguly immediately recognized young Lokenath's spiritual potential and the divine quality of discipline that was already present at a young age. Therefore, Bhagavan Ganguly agreed to accept Loknath as his disciple. Lokenath left his parents and shortly thereafter began his spiritual training with Bhagavan Ganguly. His friend Benimadhav accompanied him on his spiritual expedition.
