BIOGRAPHY

Sivanath Sastri (as spelt by himself, but also spelt as Shibnath Shastri, Shib Nath Shastri, Shibanath Shastri, Shivanath Shastri) (Bengali: শিবনাথ শাস্ত্রী Shibonath Shastri) (1847–1919) was a scholar, religious reformer, educator, writer and historian. He played an active role in the society of his times and kept a wonderful record of events but for which it would have been difficult to know and understand his turbulent age. His views have, occasionally, been criticised. He was not merely a detached historian but also an active participant of the age.

He started attending the local pathsala and when an English school was established at Majilpur with the support of the local zemindar, he joined it. During his childhood, one of the villagers, Brajanath Dutta and his son, Shib Krishna Dutta, used to subscribe to the Tattwabodhini Patrika and discuss religious and social matters with learned people. They had later influenced other villagers, such as Umesh Chandra Dutta, to convert to the Brahmo Samaj.

Later life

He had devoted the later part of his life to the cause of the Brahmo Samaj. He continued his missionary work with zeal, travelling extensively, without any money in his pocket. A strong disciplinarian, he was perfect with his time keeping. A notable event was his visit to England in 1888, where he observed things keenly during his six-month-long stay. There is a detailed description of England of the period in his Atmacharit (Autobiography), as well as in Englander Diary.

He died on 30 September 1919.
