Dr Sanjib Kumar Borkakoti

Library of Congress catalogued my two English biographies of Srimanta Sankaradeva published in 1995 and 2005 respectively. Both titles were published by Bani Mandir, Guwahati, Assam. I don't know when and how these cataloguing were done or when Library of Congress procured these books. I got the LOC catalogue number in different links and then checked LOC website and found these details. I have shared it here so that US based friends can consult the books in LOC. I have seen these books procured and catalogued by the libraries of Universities of Boston, Chicago, Heidelberg, Toronto etc. The cover of the two books are given below. Both are now out of print. A screen-shot of Library of Congress catalogue is given below .

The English translation of Srimanta Sankaradeva’s famous scripture Gunamâlâ ' is now available to the readers across the world. Subtitled as ‘Garland of Virtues’, the English version of Gunamâlâ was released by former President of Asom Sattra Mahasabha, Bhadrakrishna Goswami on April 7 in Nagaon Press Club at Nagaon. The translation has been done by Dr Sanjib Kumar Borkakoti, who has earlier translated Srimanta Sankaradeva’s Bargeet and Madhavadeva’s Nâmghoshâ too. Bhadrakrishna Goswami appreciated the work of Dr Borkakoti and said that a long-felt need was fulfilled. He hoped that the English translation would help non-Assamese people to understand the ideology of Srimanta Sankaradeva. Researcher of Srimanta Sankaradeva Sangha, Kailas Das said that it required considerable skill as well as knowledge of two languages at the same time to embark on such translation work. It may be mentioned that Srimanta Sankaradeva wrote Gunamâlâ , the abridged version of Bhâgavata
