“Kamalakanta was one of the renowned shakta-sadhaks of Bengal. He was born in Bardhaman, India. His father was a Brahmin priest who died when Kamalakanta was still a boy. His mother struggled financially to provide for the family with the meager income from the small amount of land left to them, but she managed to send Kamalakanta to higher education. Kamalakanta was a bright student, studying Sanskrit and showing an early talent for poetry and music. It is said that “his heart opened to the love of God“ when he received the sacred thread and was initiated into spiritual practice by Chandra Shekhar Goswami. From an early age he expressed an interest in spirituality and later in life Kamalakanta received initiation into Tantric Yoga from a Tantric yogi named Kenaram Bhattacharya.“ For more:
