essay of 300 words of srimanta madhavdev
Answers
Answer:
If I am asked to name the greatest personality of Assam, who has contributed most to the Assamese life and culture, I would not have any hesitation in taking the name of Srimata Sankardeva as my choice. I am sure my co-patriots of the state wouldn’t differ on my choice, for, there is none in the history of Assam who has exercised so much influence on Assamese way of life, culture, literature and religion as Sankardeva has done.
In fact, without his noble contributions the Assamese culture and literature would not have been what it is today. The footprints of this ‘Mahapurusha (great soul) are still visible on the present-day Assam.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Sankardeva was born at Alipukhuri, near Bordowa in the present district of Nagaon, in the
year 1449. He lost his parents early in life and was brought up by his paternal grandmother.
He started schooling at the age of 13 and seemed to have completed it by the age of 17 in 1470. He was a child prodigy who showed his intellectual brilliance at an early age. Soon thereafter he got married. However, three years later his wife passed away leaving behind a daughter whom he married off in 1481. Then he set out on a pilgrimage to North India to seek wisdom and knowledge. In his pilgrimage, he is supposed to have met the famous saint Kabir of North India as well as many sages and wise men. On his return from pilgrimage, Sankardeva married again, and began his second phase of life.
