"Srimanta Sankaradeva : a multi-faceted genius", latest book on Sankaradeva

-
My latest book "Srimanta Sankaradeva : a multi-faceted genius" has been brought out by Purbanchal Prakash, Guwahati. They published it on behalf of Society for Social Science Research, Sivasagar. The Society had requested me to bring out some of my articles in a compilation. So I compiled some articles earlier published in different journals and websites.

The book "Srimanta Sankaradeva : a multi-faceted genius" has nineteen chapters. The first chapter is a compact biography of the saint. The subsequent chapters deals with Chihna Yatra, Kirtan Ghosha, Sankari dance, Sankari music, Sattra etc. There are comparative studies with Guru Nanak and Swami Vivekananda too. Madhupur Than is described in one chapter. I have discussed the saint's philosophy, educational perspectives etc too. The management expertise of the saint is discussed in one chapter. How I have tried to take his message across the globe is also discussed in the last chapter.

 Written in English, this hard-cover book is of 176 pages. It was first published in 2015. One can contact the publisher Nabin Barua of Purbanchal Prakash at the phone number 94350 40401 to procure the book directly. It is also available online. Click here to buy this book online
