The great sage Anggera had his hermitage near the peak Gouri of Himalayas. Having a deep rooted origin here, the spirit of the ideals of the Upanishad age left a impression upon Shri Swami Purnanada Praramhangshadev from the great sages, Anggera and Matanga. He travelled with a vow a vast land of great India extending from Kannyakumarika at the extreme south to Haridwar at the extreme north untiring always, he was everywhere in preaching the great ideals of Upanishad and founded an Ashram (hermitage ) at Tamakumundi in Chittagong town.But as it always was the practice of the sages to have their meditation places located at a place far away from the noisy luxuries of life, the Ashram was later shifted to a lonely place in a deep jungle surrounded by hills. It was Boishakh 3 of the Bengali year 1306 that the Ashram started its new days in the village Unshattarpara under Raozan Upazilla of Chittagong District in Bangladesh.

The Ashram was named Jagatpur Ashram commemorating Jagat Chandra Das ,an officer of the Chittagong Judge Court, who dedicated a lot of his means and abilities to arrange for this suitable piece of land. Then came a turning point in 1944, a period during the World War II , marked by mass destruction, famine and death. Then the DDPI of Chittagong , Mr. Bottemley happened to visit this Ashram and opined that an orphanage should be set up here immediately to help the distressed humanity. Appreciating the philanthropic importance of this opinion, the management committee took initiative for setting up an orphanage and this was the dawn of a new chapter not only in the history of Jagatpur Ashram but also for a large area of Chittagong, as since then orphans from places far and near have been constantly finding a home for their education and care, a home where they will feel that they are not discarded by God. This is Jagatpur Ashram Orphanage, a body that began its journey with 250 orphans in a very tragic time of human history.
