Channa is located in Khano Panchayat area of Galsi - II Block.

Channa village is famous for Jatindra Nath Banerjee (19 November 1877 – 5 September 1930)[6][7] rechristened Niralamba Swami.

[10] Before becoming a famous Yogi and a popular Guru, Jatindra Nath Banerjee (later Niralamba Swami) took an active part in the Freedom Struggle movement of India.

It was under Soham Swami, Jatindra Nath Banerjee reached great heights of spirituality.

[20] He entered the life of Sannyasa and became Niralamba Swami's disciple in 1924-25 at Channa ashram.

[20] He was devoted follower of Advaita Vedanta philosophy and taught attainment of Self-knowledge using Jñāna Yoga method (the path of self-realisation using knowledge).

[citation needed] A unique method of teaching of Swami Prajnanapada was his establishment of one-to-one contact with his disciples and devotees instead of giving religious discourses.

During his time there used to be regular kirtans( devotional songs) of Kali in Channa Bishalakshi temple located in the old burning ghat of the village.
