Shri Pagala Baba
From International Nath Order
(Redirected from Pagala Baba)
Shri Pagala Baba (Mad Father) was a Bengali who had a small ashram on the outskirts of Ranchi, Bihar, India. According to Shri Gurudev Mahendranath, he was recognized by all in the north of India as being the last and only Tantric Guru of the Uttara Kaula sect who had received the authentic parampara in an unbroken line for thousands of years.
Shri Gurudev Mahendranath received initiation and parampara from Shri Pagala Baba in 1963. In The Tantrik Initiation, he wrote:
- "Pagala Baba was regarded by everyone I met in Bengal and North India as the last and only surviving Kaulacharya or Tantrik Guru in all India. When he died the guru hood passed to me and I have never yet met or learned of any other sadhu in India who can claim authentic initiation into the Tantrik tradition."
