Prabhu Jagadbandhu was a 19th-century Hindu Vaishnav Saint of Bengal. Considered by his followers to be a re-incarnation of Chaitanya, he spent much of his life meditating and preaching in the Sri Angan ashram in Faridpur, British India (present day Bangladesh). His teachings inspired the founding of the Mahanam Sampraday sect. He died in 1921 in Sri Angan. His remains have been preserved and worshipped ever since with continuous recitation of Harinam or God's name.
