Dayanidhi was born into an Odia family in the hamlet of Jajpur in Odisha. He was a sannyasi from Shankar's school. After his ordination as a sannyasi, he came to be known as Brahma Abadhuta Sri Guru Dayanidhi Paramahansa Dev.
Dayanidhi's followers believe that he achieved siddhi (perfection) in different sadhanas (spiritual disciplines): gyan, yoga and prema.[12][13] Based on these experiences, he wrote some books: Kalpalata, Kharaswata Kalpa, Maya Jangula, Baya Dayanidhi, and SadGuru.[14][15][16] Dayanidhi reportedly experienced the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi.[17]
After retiring from Saraswata sangha, Dayanidhi spent the last days of his life in Kolkata.
