Mahayogi Baba Lokenath Brahmachari

The world today is actively blessed by one of God's great Himalayan saints, Mahayogi Baba Lokenath Brahmachari, who lived in the nineteenth century and reached his self-realization after 80 years of yogic austerities. During every age, God enters human form to embody Perfect Love, Compassion, Humility and Divinity for all humankind. Baba Lokenath is one of those manifestations of God who inspires and gently reminds us that Divinity exists within each of us and that it is our potential and our destiny to one day attain that same, perfect union with God.

Baba Lokenath is unique in his times in that he did not create bands of sannyasins and brahmacharins. He worked with householders to show the world that you need not renounce the so-called world to be a yogi. You can be a family person following his instructions and taking shelter under him to reach a high state of Yoga.

Baba Lokenath, an Embodiment of Love

Baba, who saw none other than his own self manifesting in all of existence, said, “When I realized my Self, I felt a deep urge to heal those who are suffering in this world.” As an Embodiment of Love, Baba promises us, "Whenever you are in danger, whether in war, forest, ocean or jungle, remember me, and I shall save you. You may not know me. You may not realize who I am. Just pray to me with a little touch of your heart, and I shall free you from gripping sorrows and miseries."

Baba Lokenath calls to us, reaching across the distance of more than a century, to uplift every dimension of our lives. With intense love and compassion, he extends an active and intervening hand of grace to heal our jungle state of mind and physical challenges, however large or small, tenacious or hopeless they may seem.

Baba Lokenath, an Embodiment of Compassion and Humility

Baba Lokenath has said, " I can do whatever I like. It is only your lack of trust and lack of belief that keeps your desires unfulfilled. For those who surrender to me with love and devotion, if they are in trouble, my heart melts. This is my compassion...and with my compassion, my power flows out to them, freeing them from miseries and unhappiness."

In his life, Baba Lokenath was a perfect disciple, humbly surrendered at the lotus feet of his beloved Guru Bhagwan Ganguly. Baba was granted enlightenment of the highest order after 80 years of intense austerities in the jungles of the lower plains and in the snow-covered regions of the Himalayas. His compassion was evident after he became enlightened when Baba discovered that he had surpassed his Guru, who had not yet attained liberation. Lokenath was stricken with sadness and filled with compassion as he wept for his Master.

Understanding Lokenath's tears, Guru Bhagwan smiled tenderly and reassured his disciple there was only cause for joy. Guru Bhagwan announced that he would shed his old body soon and return quickly to Lokenath as a disciple. Lokenath could then lead him to enlightenment. Upon hearing Guru Bhagwan's plan, Lokenath was overwhelmed with gratitude and agreed. Weeping with joy, Lokenath prostrated at his Master's feet.

Baba Lokenath, an Embodiment of Divinity

Baba Lokenath attained a state of divinity that is beyond human comprehension. While most yogis focus on a particular yogic path of Jnana (the path of discriminating knowledge), Karma (the path of selfless action), Bhakti (the path of devotional surrender to the Divine), or Ashtanga (Patanjali's) Yoga, Baba diligently practiced and mastered the principles and disciplines of all four through an extraordinarily prolonged period of sadhana. Baba became the incarnation of their synthesis, the living essence and full embodiment of the Universal Religion of Love, the Sanatana Dharma, taught in the Bhagavad Gita. He realized ultimate perfection on the physical plane, the divinization of human form, which his name (Master of the Worlds) denotes, and is the final and most difficult transformation.

Baba Lokenath's Divine Presence, Even in Death

Today, Baba is no longer in his physical body. He is the Divine, all-pervading presence that works silently in the hearts of all who are devoted to him. Baba said, “I have everything in me. What you need in life, you have only to take. Do not think that with the death of this body, everything will come to an end. I shall be as available to you as I ever was in my physical body. Only this body will be burnt to ashes. That 'I' which is not the body will never perish. I am the Changeless, Immutable One who is never lost nor finished. Wherever and whenever anybody needs my help, I shall be available forever after."
