When the renowned 19th century mystic saint and social reformer Bijoy Krishna Goswami reached the highest altitudes of the snow-capped Himalayan ranges while he had been touring every temple, ashram, pilgrimage centres of the country, he came across secret caves where no ordinary human could ever reach. Entering the depths of the caves by force of his spiritual intuition, Bijoy found a series of ancient looking Yogis seated at one place.
The height of the Yogis while they sat in deep meditation was so tall that they reached the height of Bijoy while he stood there transfixed. Their long matted hair were grouted to the ground like the ancient roots of a banyan tree.
Seeing the Yogis, saint Bijoy knew that their ancient bodies dated back to at least a few thousand years and their secret presence in the Himalayan altitudes were the reason the balance between good and evil in the mortal world was continually being restored, through the vibrational forces of their dynamic aura.
Bijoy fell at their feet and cried , “please grant me thine grace, oh majestic Ones!”
After his repeated devotional cries, only one amongst them opened their eyes. Thereafter, this grand Yogi spoke thus: “Why have you come so far when a Yogi far greater than our own stature has already descended on earth from here and lives near your own house?” Saying so, he closed his eyes once again.
Bijoy had no idea what he was just told until he met Baba Lokenath Brahmachari.
Baba Lokenath's
Immortal Teaching
" If I cannot tolerate these little insults and physical pains, how am I to bear in my heart the pains and miseries of millions and millions of devotees who are to come under my shelter?”" The whole world is my home. I have reached home.”
~ Mahayogi Shivavatar Baba Lokenath
" How do you expect these poor householders to have faith and devotion to God when they are subjected to so much misery and unhappiness in their day-to-day lives? When I see their painful state, I cannot remain indifferent. I know very well that I do nothing. If they think that I am the one who bestows all the boons what do I lose?”
~ Mahayogi Shivavatar Baba Lokenath
Bodhi is the spiritual name given to Shuddhaanandaa Brahmachari by his ascended Master, his Guru, Thakur Sri Sri Bhajan Brahmachari on the day of Buddha Purnima, 2019.
In May 1985, he founded Lokenath Divine Life Mission at Bageshwar near Almora in the Himalayas, Uttarakhand and the Temple ashram of Baba Lokenath called Baba Lokenath Dham, the only Himalayan Ashram of Baba Lokenath. The Mission is dedicated to Shiva Incarnate Baba Lokenath to serve every being on earth as veritable manifestation of God
Learn MoreWhenever you are faced with any difficult situations, the negative options may crop up in the mind but know that if you look for positive possibilities and options, they too will come. The best way to go is to fill the mind with the positive options and allow the Higher Intelligence to grant the best option that will be good for you and for all.

True love happens to you only when you have drunk the ambrosia of divine love. It is a kind of intoxication. The more you are in love with the Divine, the more you feel love for every little thing in this world. You long to love, you breathe to love, you live to love. The Divine Mother then manifests in your heart and embraces everything with Her magic touch of divinization. Worldly love is only an echo of the reality of the infinite love that is God.
- Bodhi
It is such a joy to interact with peoples of different cultures, traditions, faiths, yet all of them seem to have one religion and that is love. Whether in this physical world or the non-physical, it is only Love that rules, all else are its faintest echoes. We all crave for love, and to love. What a gift pure love is, it fills your pitcher to the brim but never stops flooding....

Who we are?
Bodhi Youth Fraternity is the Youth Unit of Lokenath Divine Life Mission. Its main goal is to lead today’s youth into a life of values, self-confidence, self-esteem, meditation, art, music, writing, positive mindset. These outer aspects of psychological well-being are carefully built upon the aspects of mental strength, self-compassion and self-care. From the very moment a new member joins this group, it is time to say goodbye to stress and negative self-talk.
Mentally strong people experience emotions in a way that ensures eudemonic well-being (happiness experienced from meaning and purpose in life) rather than hedonic well-being. For a youth seeking direction, there are plenty of ways to help. Mindfulness based cognitive therapy, positive affirmations, positive thinking, thought awareness and rational thinking help meet our goals by enhancing emotional intelligence, acceptance, emotional self-regulation, will power, self-efficacy and self-regulated learning.
A student also learns to build new habits and break bad ones by practicing self-regulation. The students share warm and responsive relationships where they learn to focus their mind on the simple psychology- “Love is everything”. Mindfulness based stress reduction activities help reduce brain chatter, cope with depression, sleep issues, substance misuse, mood swings and helps cope with symptoms related to mood swings, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, trauma, self-harm and suicide— the teenagers and young adults undergo mindfulness based cognitive therapy in everything they do. Taking a walk in nature may lead to improved immunity, spiritual meditation and contemplative prayer—aiding in relaxation. One is taught not to repress emotions but to release, as emotions are powerful. Journaling, drawing, coloring are ways that give the mind the feeling of home. The students apply Mindfulness to the creatice process and learn that well-being is a skill. “Where attention goes energy flows”—thereby, body awareness, mantra meditation, body scan meditation, loving kindness meditation, visualization meditation, gardening, moon gazing reduce aggression and insomnia amongst teens encouraging positive coping strategies.
Bodhi: So long you don’t forgive, you are chewing the past memories of pain and hurt. Anger and stress become your companion. Now who is losing? You have to forgive to unchain and release yourself from the prison of your own memory cell. By forgiving, you are not showing your generosity to other, you are attaining freedom from self inflicted hurt and anger. Love and light!
what you are saying is your personal experience or opinion. The moment you say that only one guru is right and all other wrong, only one religion is right and all other religions are wrong, only one path or technique is right and all other techniques are wrong, you are a closed book. Spirituality does not talk this closed mind words. Did you see the fundamentalists in Islam believe that only Islam is right all other are wrong, this is fundamentalism. Truth is no one’s property. It is beyond human control.
It took so long just because the site was again reconstructed and i had to wait till they share with me the key to unlock this portal to read questions and answer. Now we are all set. Q&A fun would continue. As we have now a stable website. Now, to answer your Q in simple words, if you understand what is bhakti and what is dharma, things should become clear chicken or egg first riddle!!
Everything Bodhi teaches reflects in his own Beingness. His words are profound but his actions speak louder Lessons, modeling how to live a humble, holy life. He truly walks the Words of his Beloved Gurudev, Agartala Maa and Baba Lokenath! His warm smile, no nonsense approach, meditative countenance, insistence and encouragement ever teach us Self-reliance, integrity, moral values, Truth, Love and compassion. Always serving humankind, from underprivileged kids to corporate management, he is the instrument of his own Teachers and the Ascended Masters, bringing us both his Grace and Blessings and Their’s! He is the epitome of non-Doership and humility; to truly Be in his Presence is to finally find Home.

Bodhi baba appeared magically in our lives in 2016 when we needed him the most and installed Baba Lokenath in our hearts. We both were going through a period where our faith was in doubt and mind was filled with uncertainties and fear . Bodhi baba’s profound wisdom conveyed in such simple words connected to our core and dispelled all our fears. Babaji showed us to lead our lives positively and surrendering to higher intelligence . Bodhi’s daily musings are true gems and they are the guideposts of our life.We strive to live by them to grow in our spiritual journey. Bodhi’s abundant laughter fills each heart with hope and cheer . His wisdom has brought a major shift in our thinking . Bodhi our laughing Budha has deeply touched many of our friends and family in New Jersey with his simplicity and empathy. We are so blessed to have his presence in our lives .Jai Baba Lokenath jai Baba Thakur 🙏

I knew Baba Lokenath reading the wonderful book written by Bodhi. I was going through a difficult time of my life in that period, and I could see the truth of Baba promise "Whenever you find yourself in danger… remember me. I will save you". So it was for me. From there on, Baba has always been in my heart. Years later I contacted the author (Bodhi) by email. We had a phone conversation which helped me a lot. From then on I have been in contact with Bodhi and thanks to him I feel more and more the presence and the love of Thakur and Baba Lokenath in my life. Jai Bodhi, Jai Thakur, Jai Baba Lokenath ❤️

Being with Bodhi baba and living out what he shares and teaches is about experience and not words. However, I am happy to say here how grateful I am to get to be with Baba when he is in town and through his daily teachings, which are always such a loving combination of tender and tough, though somehow never with judgement, always speaking directly to the inside of me with messages that help right in the moment and continue to reverberate if one chooses to live them. I am grateful to you Baba.

Had the good fortune to meet Bodhi Baba when he came to Chicago to talk and lead breathing and meditation at Lurie Children’s Hospital years ago. Then we got to know each other better when Baba and Sue visited InterimExecs and we talked about how to build the website and daily emails. I cherish his Moments of Mindfulness emails and as I write this I am reading #3,185! Bodhi Baba is a wonderful blessing in my life every day. His words and presence are just pure love, practical, kind, aware, always meaningful.
