Joy Baba Lokenath Episodes

As promised, Ramnarayan reaches the zamindar's place to perform the Janmashtami puja. But while chanting the mantras, a supernatural experience stupefies him. Later, when he learns that his wife Kamala is experiencing labour pain, he rushes home. Thereafter, his path is blocked by a magical snake which guides him to a Shiva temple where he meets his Gurudev. Following this, Ramnarayan reaches home to learn that Kamala has given birth to a boy with a distinct pattern of hair on his head.

Ramnarayan is surprised to see clouds forming the shape of om when he holds Lokenath in his arms. He realises that Kamala has given birth to a child with superhuman abilities. Meanwhile, Roy's aunt asks him to adopt a boy child as he is without an heir. However, his sister fumes after hearing this as she had hoped that her son will get to be the next zamindar. The next day, Gurudev visits Ramnarayan and expresses his wish to see Lokenath. When he sees the baby, he bows down in reverence.

Ramnarayan and Gurudev discuss the supernatural happenings post the birth of the baby boy. Later, Gurudev conveys that he will be able to fulfil his promise to Trinath since Lokenath is born with his blessings. Overhearing this, Kamala is scared to recount Ramnarayan’s promise of making one of his children a sannyasi. Meanwhile, villagers arrive to see the holy child. Everyone is surprised when after touching Lokenath, a blind old lady gets her eyesight back.

Madhav attempts to cut off Lokenath’s tresses, but is stopped by a snake. However, when Gouri arrives, he sees a crown flower garland in place of the snake. Following this, Ramnarayan arranges for Lokenath’s 'choysasthi' but meagre arrangements concern him. When Madhav brings several Brahmans without notice, he worries what to feed them. Thereafter, he is shocked to see a huge platter in the kitchen and marvels at the magic. He also spots bael leaves atop each pot.

Ramnarayan and Kamala feel astounded to find food for so many Brahmans. At home, Madhav is informed that the ash in the food pan miraculously turned into rice. Later, an old man arrives at Ramnarayan's place and informs him that he has been sent there to see an angel. However, Ramnarayan denies having seen an angel in his house and provides food to the old man. After this, Madhav brings a few Brahmans home to protest against Ramnarayan for feeding food to the old man.

Madhav along with other Brahmins declare Ramnarayan an outcast as he had attended to a Muslim guest. However, Gurudev mentions that humanity is the biggest religion. He also says that within six months, everyone will come to know that the baby is a Lord Shiva incarnate. Later, Gurudev also declares a common date for the naming ceremonies of Ramnarayan and Balaram’s sons. Thereafter, when Madhav’s man enters Ramnarayan’s house to cut Lokenath’s hair, he spots a snake beside the child.

Roy moshai and family plan to gift the child a golden necklace, but Madhabi snatches it and gives it away to her son. Pained by her behaviour, Roy moshai rebukes her. Later, Madhabi bribes nayeb moshai asking him to foil her brother’s plan to adopt Lokenath. Thereafter, when Kamala is about to use the poisoned turmeric, Roy moshai’s elder wife stops her. She asks her to use the turmeric she brought for the child. She also gifts the child her own gold necklace.

Nishikant’s wife gifts precious ornaments to Lokenath on the occasion of his first feeding ceremony. As news of Lokenath’s birth reaches everyone, many get curious to find out the truth behind the birth of the extraordinary child. Later, Savitri waits for the guru to perform the first feeding ceremony of her son after concluding Lokenath’s ceremony. Before the ceremony begins, Nishikant’s wife attempts to tell Kamala what she intended to tell her but Ramnarayan interrupts her.

When the child is named Lokenath, Kamala worries if he will turn out to be a sannyasi. The child astonishes everyone by choosing a Rudraksha mala for himself during one of the customs. Later, Kamala worries about Lokenath’s future when he finds him missing from home. When they arrive at the old Shiva temple, they find him meditating among snakes. Following this, Ramnarayan and Kamal decide that Lokenath needs a formal education and plan to send him to a tol, a traditional elementary school.

Lokenath and Benimadhav begin their elementary schooling on the same day. After Ramnarayan assigns them tasks, he starts disturbing other students. When he tears Benimadhav’s book, Ramnarayan attempts to hit him. Later, he surprises everyone by writing his name. Following this, Kamala and Lokenath marvel at how Lokenath learnt to write without being taught even the basics. Meanwhile, Madhabi criticises the idea of adopting Lokenath and tells Nishikant that her son should be the heir.

Guru Dev explains to Ramnarayan that Lokenath was born with ‘brahmah gyaan’ and that he will fight all the evils of the world and bring a massive social reform. At home, Kamala scolds Lokenath when he tears her old saree and wears it as a ‘kopni’. Consequently, Lokenath pours water on his mother’s head to cool her down. Later, Ramnarayan explains to Kamala what Guru Dev told him about Lokenath. However, she still refuses to let anybody take him away from her in the future.

A few villagers take Lokenath and Kamala to Choto Maa’s house. Choto Maa informs Kamala that she has heard that Ramnarayan has decided to ‘griha tyag’ Lokenath. However, Kamala informs her that she doesn't think that she would give away her son. Choto Maa then tells her that the Brahmins also have something similar to say. Later, when the Brahmins insult Kamala, Lokenath magically removes the sacred thread from the Brahmins' body.

Kamala sets out of home with Lokenath to meet Chhoto Maa. When she meets her, Chhoto Maa tells Kamala that she give Lokenath to her for adoption since he’ll eventually embrace sainthood. Kamala says that she will never part with any of her sons. Later, when the Brahmans challenge Kamala’s decision in the name of religion, Lokenath shocks them with his extraordinary powers. Humiliated by Kamala’s stern refusal, Chhoto Maa and Pishi Maa decide to teach Kamala a good lesson.

Kamala tells Ramnayaran that Chhoto Maa wanted to adopt Lokenath. When Kamala gets angry on Chhoto Maa, Ramnarayan tells her of the guru’s words. He reminds her that the guru had said that everyone’s eyes would fall on Lokenath as he’d grow up to be the saviour of humanity. On the other hand, Madhav and the Brahmans go to the guru to complain against Lokenath. Later, in spite of the guru asking Madhav to seek forgiveness from Lokenath, he leads a protest against Lokenath and goes to his house.

Madhav arrives at Ramnarayan’s place with a few Brahmins and protests against Lokenath and Kamala. Listening to this, Ramnarayan tries to defend his wife and son and also apologise to them, but they don’t listen. Inside the house, Lokenath advises his family not to worry as they haven’t done anything wrong. Outside the house, Madhav and the Brahmins continue their revolt. After this, Madhav informs Ramnarayan that his son and wife will have to apologise to the Brahmins.

On learning that Madhav has asked Ramnarayan to perform a penance, Savitri urges Balaram to help them. Balaram tells her that Nishikant will meet Madhav and the other Brahmans and ask them to revoke their decision. The Brahmans, however, stick to their decision of boycotting Ramnarayan’s family. Later, when Lokenath and his brothers beg for alms, the villagers refrain from helping them. Nishikant then meets Gurudev and informs him about the situation.

Nishikant informs Gurudev about Ramnarayan and his family’s sorry state and urges him to help them. He also states that if Gurudev maintains his silence over the issue, he will have to exercise his power. Thereafter, Benimadhav and his friends discover that the school is closed and Lokenath is begging for alms. Benimadhav then devises a plan to help them and asks his friends to bring rice grains from their homes. Following this, Kamala worries about being able to feed her sons.

Gurudev has an alteration with Madhav and the other Brahmans and states that he will not have food until Ramnarayan’s family has eaten. When the lower caste people from the village offer alms to Lokenath, Madhav threatens to throw them out of their houses. Lokenath exclaims in jest that in the absence of the farmers, the Brahmans will not be able to buy rice grains. Thereafter, Madhav’s plan fails when Balaram and Nishikant openly oppose his decision of boycotting Ramnarayan’s family.

Lokenath assures a man not to panic when he finds a snake in the hut. The man is shocked to see Shiva's avatar in Lokenath. While Ramnarayan and Kamala worry about Lokenath not returning home, Lokenath’s brothers inform their parents about them not finding Lokenath. After this, Lokenath unknowingly enters an area where the sadhus are meditating and asks them questions about their way of life. Meanwhile, Lokenath's brothers meet Gurudev to ask him where Lokenath is.

On learning that Madhav has asked Ramnarayan to perform a penance, Savitri urges Balaram to help them. Balaram tells her that Nishikant will meet Madhav and the other Brahmans and ask them to revoke their decision. The Brahmans, however, stick to their decision of boycotting Ramnarayan’s family. Later, when Lokenath and his brothers beg for alms, the villagers refrain from helping them. Nishikant then meets Gurudev and informs him about the situation.

When Lokenath continues to meditate in spite of the bee stings, the saints realise that he is not pretending to meditate. Realising that he has lost consciousness of the mortal world, they chant a Shiva mantra to wake him up. Meanwhile, when Ramnarayan informs Nishikant of the situation, he forms a search party. Later, Dinu tells Ramnarayan that Lokenath might have visited the woods to meet the saints. As the search party reaches the woods, it fails to trace Lokenath or the saints.

Ramnarayan cries after being unable to find Lokenath. Back at home, Kamala weeps and faints after begging God to bring her son back home. Out in the village, Ramnarayan and his son wonder whether the sadhus took Lokenath away from the village. A man arrives with Lokenath, which makes Kamala relieved. Ramnarayan informs Kamala that he found Lokenath because of a snake. On the other side, the sadhus talk about Lokenath’s miraculous abilities.

Lokenath informs his friends that he went to the forest to meet the sadhus. He also tells them that he wants to be a sadhu in future in order to meet God frequently. Suddenly, an injured parrot falls to the ground in front of Lokenath. A group of young boys arrive there and demand the parrot to be returned. Lokenath uses his power to heal the parrot who then flies away, shocking everyone. Baffled, Lokenath’s brothers inform his family about this miraculous incident.

While Nishikant and his first wife discuss the pain of being childless, she exhibits faint symptoms of pregnancy. Meanwhile, he receives a precept from the Nawab, asking him to clear his pending tax payments. When he asks for time, the Nawab’s man replies that his master is building a fortress in Serampore to fight the Maratha invaders. He thus needs the money immediately. Later, Sudha informs Kamala and Ramnarayan about organising Ghantakarna puja the next day to ward off diseases.

Benimadhav shows his parents the imprint of bael leaves on his palms. Balaram realises that it is a symbolism that the child will turn out to be a sannyasi and asks Benimadhav to stay away from Lokenath. Later, Lokenath offers to take the lashes on himself to spare his friend. Benimadhav’s mother realises that Lokenath and her son are friends for life. Thereafter, he urges the vaidya to offer his medicines to the patients saying that prayers will not cure diseases.
