PUBLISHER'S NOTE
[Second Edition]
Srimanta Sankaradeva
Sangha, the greatest religio-cultural organisation on the
Mhapurusism or Eka-Sarana Hari Nam Dharma in its most original
and purest form as propounded by Jagat Guru Srimanta Sankaradeva
is going to celebrate the 550th Birth Anniversary of the Jagat-Guru
this year with a year-long programme, starting with the Inaugural
celebration on October 1, 1998 in New Delhi, the Capital of
India with a view to acquainting the people of the world in
general and of India in particular woth the neo-Vaishnavite
religion, phylosophy and culture of the Jagat-Guru. On this
pious occasion the Sangha has decided to publish a series
of books on different aspects of Srimanta Sankaradeva's Eka-Sarana
Harinam-Dharma in the phased manner throughout the year.
Poet-Scholar Dimbeswar neog, one of the renowned pioneer Presidents
of Srimanta Sankaradeva Sangha, spared no pains in popularising
the religio-phylosophy of Jagat-Guru through a series of books.
this book of his, first published in 1963, has proved to be
still relevent in all aspects of the Mahapurusism. The Sangha
after having a negotiation with the Xuwani Prakash, Guwahati,
the copyright owner of the book, has brought out its second
edition which, it is expected, will go a long way in driving
home the message of Srimanta Sankaradeva to the humanity at
large.
I offer my heartfelt thanks to the members of Xuwani Prakash,
Guwahati, for according us consent for publishing the second
edition of the book. I also offer my due regards to the Sahitya
Sakha Samittee of the Sangha in general and Dr. Purnananda
Saikia, its Advisor in particular, who has reviewed appropriately
the text of the first edition of the book s well as the final
proof-copy of the second print. I also acknowledge with thanks
