Haranath Thakur also known as Haranath Baba or Pagal Haranath (1 July 1865 – 25 May 1927) was an Hindu Indian spiritual master considered by his followers to be a sadguru and a mast.[4][5] He lived in the village of Sonamukhi in Bengal India. His divine consort Kusumkumari Debi believed to be mahashakti personified, was born on 14th December 1870.[6][7][8]
He was called as Pagal Majzoob who is absorbed in God to such a degree that he can be of indirect help to those who honor him. Also known as perfect mast and as such has no experience of the external physical or internal mental worlds.[9] The followers of Haranath believe that He is the reincarnation of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.[10]
Thakur is recorded as saying "Life in the world is like rest in a traveller’s inn. If for flimsy reasons, it is spent in controversies, the traveler will find lack of energy to resume the journey the next day."[1][7]
