Jagannatha Dasa Babaji appeared in this world around 1750 in a remote village in Tangail, in the district of Mayaman Singh (Bangladesh). He lived for 144 years. In 1880, Jagannatha Dasa Babaji was visited by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, to whom he gave many valuable instructions on devotional service. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura used to call Jagannatha Dasa Babaji the commander-in-chief of the Vaisnavas. Despite old age and physical limitations (he was carried around in a bamboo basket by his servant, Bihari), Jagannatha Dasa Babaji was always enthusiastic in chanting the Lord's holy names and serving the devotees. He confirmed the discovery of the birth site of Lord Caitanya.
