Introduction and History
Lokanatha Temple is a Hindu Temple situated in the town of Agartala, Tripura, India. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Baba Loknath.
The unique feature is that the Shivalinga is always under water which substantiates the legend that Goddess Ganga flows through the top of the shivalinga as a stream. The festival that is celebrated with great fervor and pomp is the Sankranti Somvar Fair while devotees believe that the shivalinga has powers to cure diseases after seeking the darshan of Lord Shiva. The utsava murti of Lokanatha is kept inside the Jagannath temple, Puri. He is the guardian deity of all the treasures and jewellery of Lord Jagannath. This temple is one of the five famous Shiva temple of Puri. Others are Markandeswara Temple, Jambheshwar Temple, Banambara Temple and Kapal Mochan Temple.
Baba Lokenath Brahmachari was a Bengali spiritual master and yogi, considered to be one of the most influential gurus of oriental philosophy,Not much is known about Baba Lokenath’s personal life, which has always remained shrouded in mystery. Several folklores exist about his miraculous powers and magical abilities. He is said to have lived until 160 and remains one of the most prominent examples of the human longevity myth. Baba stood taller than 7 feet in height and had a very thin, lanky disposition. Decades of sadhana in the High Himalayas had given him the ability to tolerate extremely cold temperatures without any warm clothing. In his later years, he is also said to have completely given up sleeping and would not even blink. Since he never turned anybody down, he was also known as the Wish tree.
Baba went into a samadhi with his eyes wide open on 3 June 1890. He was surrounded by his disciples at his Baradi Ashram. Comforting his mourning devotees shortly before his death, Baba promised to continue being available to anyone who prayed and asked for help, even after his death and forever. One of his famous quotes roughly translates as: “Whether it is at war, or in the woods, or on the water; if you are ever in danger, remember me, and I shall save you.”
This Saffron colored small temple situated in the middle of town is the main attraction of the town devotees as it is always full of devotees during morning and evening prayers time.
