| His father was a follower of Mahant Khetanath and served him at the Baba Khetanath Ashram in Neemrana. |

| At the age of six, Mahant Balaknath took sanyas and was sent to Mahant Khetanath Ashram in Neemrana for six months by his family. |
| Later, he was sent to Alwar MP Mahant Chand Nath Yogi at Asthal Bohar Rohtak, where he was named Balaknath due to his playful nature. |
| At Asthal Bohar Rohtak, Mahant Balaknath performed penance, served the monastery, learned Nath sect traditions, and served in ashrams across the country. |
| In a religious ceremony on 29 July 2016, Mahant Balaknath was declared the eighth heir to Asthal Bohar in the presence of several renowned saints. |
