New edition of medieval Assamese hagiographies (Gurucharit) published

A famous Gurucharit,  'Sankar Charit' written by Bhushan Dwija    is now available again after several decades.  I have edited this early hagiography of Srimanta Sankaradeva, written in the medieval era. It is considered to be a very valuable Gurucharit. It was earlier edited by Durgadhar Barkataki, but it was out of print since long ago. I have re-edited this valuable classic. It is published by  Bani Mandir . Another famous Gurucharit, 'Sriguru Charit' written by Ramananda Dwija is also now available again after several decades. I have edited this early hagiography of Srimanta Sankaradeva written in the medieval era by the erstwhile Sattradhikar of Kaljhar Sattra. It is considered to be a very valuable Gurucharit. It was first published by Haribilas Agarwala. The second edition, published by Harinarayan Dutta Barua was edited by Maheswar Neog, but that too was out of print since long ago. I have re-edited this valuable classic. It is published by  Bani Mandir
