Prajnanapada, popularly known as Swami Prajnanapada or Swami Prajnanpad (1891–1974) of Channa Ashram (located at Channa village), was one of the eminent disciples of Niralamba Swami, the great yogi and Guru of India. He was born on 8 February 1891. He entered the life of Sannyasa and became Niralamba Swami’s disciple in 1924-25 at Channa ashram. Besides living at Channa Ashram (located at Channa village, Burdwan, India), he had also established an ashram in Ranchi, India.

Instead of espousing political discourse, Swami Prajnanapada was known for his one-to-one contact with his disciples and devotees. He was an astute psychoanalyst as well.
