This site is an attempt to introduce to the world the multi-dimensional personality of Srimanta Sankaradeva (Sankardeva, Shankardev), one of the leading lights of the Neo-Vaiśnavite Movement.

The patron saint of Assam, India, Sankaradeva was a versatile genius under whose warmth of mind Assamese culture and society blossomed like a lotus with a thousand petals (sahasradala kamala).

Sankaradeva's humanism has an universal appeal. And the purpose of this website is also to provide an insightful glimpse of this humanism. It is hoped that viewers find this site both academically useful and spiritually elevating.

Jai Guru Sankara
