Once upon a time at the end of the Seventh Century some pilgrims including a Royal family, the Queen and King, from Jaipur of Rajasthan (there are different opinion at this point because some historians disagreed that the place was Jaipur, according to their opinion the place was Jaynagar of Brindaban) were on their way to visit Sri Sri Jagannath of Shrikshetra. Unfortunately the Queen died on the way after giving birth to a child Son. The mystified King left the infant under a big tree with a Royal introduction letter and a Royal Sword named ‘Jaysankar’. Next morning a poor wood cutter widow found that child under the tree with the sword and letter. With great compassion she nourished and brought up the boy and named him Raghunath. But driven by poverty she handed over young Raghunath to a Tantra worshipper Panchanan Ghosal of ‘Laogram’ a small village of Kotulpur (Nine kilometer away from Bishnupur), who was also reputed as ‘Sadhak Thakur’. He appointed Raghunath as a caretaker of his house and pets.
One day Pachanan Ghosal got astonished when he found Raghunath, resting under a tree with two Snake (Naga and Nagaini) which were protecting him from the sunray with their hood. Raghunath was late to return home because the he was in a search to find out one of his lost cow and after that having rest under a tree. After some day it was raining heavily when Raghunath went to a river for fishing where he found a piece of Gold and a Stone-Manuscript trapped on his net. These Royal signs of Raghunath surprised Sadhak Thakhur so much. One night he heard a heavenly voice in his dream. The heavenly voice of a Goddess ordered Sadhak Thakur to worship Her regularly in dense forest and make some arrangements for Raghunath’s education.
Later Raja Nrisinghadev the King of Pradumnapur (Pumumpur) invited Raghunath and Sadhak Thakur in a Brahman Feast. It was raining heavily when Raghunath was having his food and benevolently the Raja hold his own umbrella, over Raghunath. According to myth, if a Raja holds his umbrella over someone, the person also becomes a Raja. Inspired by all these bright signs, Panchanan Ghosal started teaching Raghunath the Royal educations, moralities and skills of warfare.
