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 KaljharSattra. 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.

'Bardowa Gurucharit' by Puwaram Mahanta. I have edited this later period hagiography of Srimanta Sankaradeva, written in a later period. It is in prose. It was earlier edited by Maheswar Neog, but it was out of print since long ago. I have re-edited this valuable classic. It is published by Bani Mandir.
These three hagiographies will fulfil the requirements of students of medieval Assamese literature. These are my humble contributions to the study of medieval Assamese literature.
