Hariharananda came from a wealthy Bengali family and after his scholastic education renounced wealth, position, and comfort in search of truth in his early life. The first part of his monastic life was spent in the [[Barabar Caves]] in [[Bihar]], hollowed out of single granite boulders bearing the inscriptions of Emperor [[Ashoka]] and very far removed from human habitation. He then spent some years at [[Tribeni, Hooghly|Tribeni]], in Bengal, at a small hermitage on the bank of the [[Ganges]] and several years at [[Haridwar]], [[Rishikesh]], and [[Kurseong]].

His last years were spent at [[Madhupur, Deoghar|Madhupur]] in [[Bihar]], where according to tradition, Hariharananda entered an artificial cave at Kapil Math on 14 May 1926 and remained there in study and meditation for last twenty-one years of his life. The only means of contact between him and his disciples was through a window opening. While living as a hermit, Hariharananda wrote numerous philosophical treatises. Some of Hariharananda's interpretations of Patañjali's Yoga system had elements in common with Buddhist [[Mindfulness (Buddhism)|mindfulness]] meditation. <ref>{{cite book |editor1-first= David Gordon |editor1-last= White |title= Yoga in Practice | year= 2011 |publisher= Princeton University Press |isbn= 978-0691140865 |page= 327}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Maharaj|first=Ayon|date=2013-02-01|title=Yogic Mindfulness: Hariharānanda Āraṇya's Quasi-Buddhistic Interpretation of Smṛti in Patañjali's Yogasūtra I.20|journal=Journal of Indian Philosophy|language=en|volume=41|issue=1|pages=57–78|doi=10.1007/s10781-013-9174-7|s2cid=170090605|issn=0022-1791}}</ref>
