He was born on the day of Janmashtami (the same date when lord Krishna was born). As per English calendar the date is 29th August 1730. He was born in a Brahmin family couple of miles away from Kolkata. He was the fourth son of his parents named Shree Ramnarayan Ghoshal and Shrimati Kamaladevi.

Nevertheless, the wisdom that he had could not be compared to any other living person. Bhagawan Ganguly would teach Lokenath about vedas and religion. However, Lokenath was always very keen on taking up Sanyas. At the tender age of eleven he left his family and followed his guru to the dense forests. He practiced patanjali and also visited the famous kalighat temple in Kolkata. He spent almost twenty five years of his life like this. He later moved to the mighty Himalayas. He meditated for fifty long years in one position and without a single piece of cloth on this body. He was finally granted enlightment at the age of ninety years.

He also made three pilgrimages to Mecca. He later reached Dhaka now in Bangladesh. There a rich family built him a ashram. He wore saffron robes there that are considered sacred.
