==Birth and childhood==
Sitaramdas Omkarnath was born in an uncle's house at Keota village in [[Hooghly district]], [[West Bengal]], on 6 [[Falgun]] 1892. His given name was Probodh Chandra Chattopadhyay, and his parents were Pranhari Chattopadhyay and Mallabati Devi.

== Education ==
Omkarnath attended a village school but then determined that Dasarathidev Yogeswar of Digsui village should be his [[guru]].<ref name="Omkar Math Omkareshwar"/><ref name=Gurus>{{cite book |last=Singh Uban |first=Sujan |title=Gurus of India |year=1977 |publisher=East-West Publications (U.K.) Ltd |isbn=978-0-85692-004-2}}</ref>{{rp|133}}Though he was admitted to the Bandel Church School for a quite of time to pursue Western Education, he left that school for is earnest interest in Indian Sankritised Education system. Thereafter he studied at Yogeswar's house, where he undertook daily chores as well as spiritual education. In 1918, Probodh was meditating at about midnight when he visualised the god [[Shiva]] along with the [[Durga|Durga, the Divine Mother]].<ref name="THE MOUNTAIN PATH">{{cite journal| title=THAKUR SRI SRI SITARAMDAS OMKARNATH MAHARAJ BY PROF. S. BANERJEE| url=http://www.ramana-maharshi.info/m_path/1965_3/july_1965_frameset.htm| accessdate=21 May 2015}}</ref>

Later, Omkarnath saw his previous birth on the day of [[Saraswati]] [[Puja (Hinduism)|puja]]. Through this he came to believe that he was a famous worshipper of the goddess [[Kali]] in previous life.<ref name="The Mother Divine">{{cite web |title=Impression of Sri Sitaramdas Omkarnath|url= http://www.themotherdivine.com/sponsor_founder.shtml |accessdate=2015-05-26 |publisher=[The Mother Divine]}}</ref>

==Spiritual quest==
Guru Dasarathidev had named him ''Sitaram'', the name ''Omkarnath'' was a divine revelation which was later formally conferred by Swami Dhruvananda Giri. Thus, Probodh came to be known as Sitaramdas Omkarnath. He had heard the ''Hare Krishna'' [[Hare Krishna (mantra)|MahaMantra]] as a Divine Sound during his austere meditation in a cave at Ramashram, Dumurdaha, Hooghly. Later, he heard a divine voice say "O Sage, dive in". Still Sitaram was not ready for giving spiritual initiation to masses, and he waited for direct command. At [[Puri]], [[Orissa, India|Orissa]], Sitaram visualised [[Jagannath]] in a halo<ref>{{cite web |title=Pather Alo- Thakur |url=http://patheralo.org/aboutus.html|accessdate=2015-05-21 }}</ref> and Jagannath gave the instruction — "Go, Go, Go and give the Name".<ref name="Gurus"/>{{rp|134}} Thereafter, Sitaram started spreading the Lord's name on a mass scale.<ref name="Gurus"/>{{rp|136}}

== As a preacher/guru==
After getting what is believed to be the Divine instruction, Omkarnath began to preach Nam all across India.<ref>{{cite news |first=Kinkar |last=Viththal Ramanuja|title=Mahapurusder Tirtho Bhraman |publisher= Sukhi Grihakon(Bengali: সুখী গৃহকোণ ) |date= 1 August 2018 }}</ref> Temples were established and renovated, the poor were fed, clothes were distributed, help was given to the fathers of marriageable daughters, taking on the responsibility of lifetime maintenance of hundreds of poverty-stricken families, establishment of free schools for poor students, setting up 29 Akhanda Naam Kirtan centres across India, establishing temples and ashrams, and several other activities of the kind went on continuously.<ref name="Gurus"/> Though he was a follower of both Ramanuj and Ramanandi sect, he himself developed a unique philosophical school named "Avinava Pranab-vad"

Millions of men and women took spiritual initiation from Sitaram. His reputation spread and people gathered in large numbers wherever he resided. Sitaram was respected by contemporaries such as [[Anandamayi Ma]], [[Mohanananda Brahmachari]], [[Dalai Lama]], [[Vilayat Inayat Khan]], [[Swami Chidananda]], [[Sushil Kumar (Jain monk)|Jain Muni Sushil Kumar]] and others.<ref name="Gurus"/><ref name="The Mother Divine"/> He was believed to be an incarnation of Lord Sri Ramachandra, and is one of the most spiritually powerful and sound people that ever existed in human history. He is also one of the purest people who have ever existed.

==Teachings==

According to Omkarnath,
{{Quote| ''Nama'' meant ''Nama'' of God; [[Rama]], Krishna, Shiva, Durga; but ''Nama'' had to be repeated constantly. ''Nama'' could reach the [[Sadhaka]] to ''[[Nāda yoga|Nada]]'' and ''Jyoti'' (Divine Sounds and Lights); ...and ultimately Name could bring ''[[Om|Onkar]]'', the Anahat sound one could hear inside. So what the [[Rishis]] of the old days could not gain even after hundred of years of [[Tapasya]] in jungles, Nama could achieve even when a person lived his normal life and did his every day work.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Banerjee |first=R. K. |date=January 1993 |title=Shree Shree Sitaramdas Omkarnath |url=http://www.anandamayi.org/anandavarta/Vol40No1.pdf|journal=Ananda Varta |volume=40 |issue=1 |page=1 |accessdate=2015-04-08}}</ref>}}
Sitaramdas Omkarnath's spiritual philosophy encompassed [[Bhakti]], [[Jnana]], [[Karma Yoga]], [[Kriya Yoga]] and all segments of ancient Indian religion, with emphasis on Nam [Lord's Name]. Sitaramdas did not promote conversion, but guided all seekers on the path of their respective religion. He said- 'The paths may differ, but HE is not different.' By holding onto the Holy Name of Lord, and by performing the duties prescribed by religion of oneself, everybody can attain the Supreme Truth.<ref name="Ramanuja">{{cite journal |first=Vithal|last=Ramanuja|title=Bishesh Sraddharghya |newspaper=[[Bartaman]] Patrika (Bengali: বর্তমান) |date= August 2016 }}</ref>

The teachings of Omkarnath derive from his personal experiences, revealed in the course of a lifelong and continual spiritual practice. His teachings were compiled by Kinkar Omananda (alias Madhav Swamiji), one of his closest monastic disciple.<ref name="Cloudburst"/>{{rp|at=c.Introduction¶.17}}

==Miracles==
Many of unexplained incidents associated with Omkarnath have been documented in books and newspapers by prominent personalities. Among these are:

*The writer [[Nabaneeta Dev Sen]] wrote of a 'medical miracle' she had seen. Her father, Naren Dev, was in coma for several days but when Omkarnath came and touched him, he opened his eyes and talked and within a week had begun walking.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Devsen |first1=Nabanita |title=Bhraman Samagra |publisher=Dey's Publishing | isbn=978-81-295-0902-4}}</ref>
*Many newspapers of Kolkata reported a revival from death at a [[Calcutta Medical College]]. Padmalochan Mukerjee was declared dead, Omkarnath arrived, touched him and revived him in front of Sister G. Wood, who was overwhelmed by the incident.<ref name="Gurus"/>{{rp|126}}<ref>{{cite news |first=Dr.Naliniranjan |last=Sengupta |title=Chithipotro|pages=4 |publisher= Jugantor(Bengali: যুগান্তর) |date= 1 July 1968 }}</ref>
*General Sujan Singh Uban described that Omkarnath had foreseen the Indo-Pakistan war of December 1971 and that during the war a supernatural power of Omkarnath had given him an extraordinary victory. Besides the national issues, Uban had felt the powers of Omkarnath in many aspects of his personal life.<ref name="Gurus"/>{{rp|131}}

==Death==
AnantSri SitaramDas Omkarnath Dev attained "Maha Samadhi" in the early hours of 6 December 1982. Heavens tore up and million devotees were left "orphaned" in that one dark moment, which witnessed unprecedented wave of shock, sorrow and mourning across India's spiritual populace. The Immortal Sage immortalised his earth life with unparalleled Tapasya (penance) exemplery Austerity and Incredible depth of Devotion towards His Guru and the Divine. Omkarnath Dev's "Leela vigraha" was placed at Sri Ramashram, Dumurdaha, for last darshan and homage by thousands who had converged in that small village hamlet on the two fateful days. His mortal vigraha was consigned to holy flames on a [[sandalwood]] pyre on 8 December.<ref>{{cite web |title=Full text of "s.v.u.oriental journal"
