Yagavtar Baba Lokenath of Barodi (in Dacca) (who lived during 1730-1890) had given his close disciple Sri Ashwini Chatterjee a mantra that was half and incomplete and told him that he would meet a supreme power fifty years from then who would give him (Ashwini) his balance half mantra to complete his Sadhana. This prophecy was made sometime in 1881 even before Sri Sri Thakur’s parents were born. Baba Lokenath sent Ashwini Chatterjee back home to live a householder’s life. He also advised Ashvini to go and spend some time with Mahayogi Trailanga Swamy at Benaras (Kashi). Ashwini immediately followed Baba Lokenath’s advice and met Trailanga Swamy. Mahayogi Trailanga Swami (1601-1881) was a great saint and was virtually worshipped as a god by local people. He also made the same prophecy to Ashwini Chatterjee that he would meet a purna Brahman (supreme being) in about 50 years time. Ashwini's prophesied guru was none other than Sri Sri Balak Brahmachari. Ashwini met Sri Sri Thakur in strange circumstances at a place called Kathakkali in Bangladesh when Sri Sri Thakur halted there for a while during his boat journey one day, and received his much-awaited balance half mantra from Sri Sri Thakur without asking. Sri Sri Thakur was then a young boy of only about 10/11 years old
