Swami Pranavananda (Bengali: স্বামী প্রণবানন্দ; Sanskrit: स्वामी प्रणवानन्द; IAST: Svāmī Praṇavānanda) also known as Yugācāryya Śrīmat Svāmī Praṇavānanda Jī Mahārāja (Bengali: যুগাচার্য্য শ্রীমৎ স্বামী প্রণবানন্দ জী মহারাজ; Hindi: युगाचार्य्य श्रीमत् स्वामी प्रणवानन्द जी महाराज), (24 February 1896 – 8 January 1941)[1] was a Hindu yogi and saint who founded a not-for-profit spiritual organization known as the Bharat Sevashram Sangha.[2]
He is remembered for his efforts to bring the modern Hindu society into the new age without compromising the essential values of ancient traditions of Hindu spirituality.[3] Swamiji was one of the greatest spiritual leaders of modern India. He is still revered his message of universal love, compassion for humanity and social reform without giving up the zeal and love of mother land.[4][5]
He was born on 29 January 1896, the day of Maghi Purnima (16th Magha, 1302), in a Bengali Kayastha family of Bajitpur, a village in Faridpur District in undivided India (presently in Bangladesh). His parents Vishnu Charan Bhuiya and Saradadevi were pious and blessed by Lord Shiva to have a son for the mitigation of human suffering and universal emancipation. He was named Jaynath by his father at birth and later in his boyhood he was called Binod. Binod showed uncommon philosophical inclinations and had divine visions since childhood and often could be seen in contemplation at the village school. He was known with the children of the locality because of his helpful nature.[6][7][5]
