Abstract:
During the middle ages, Mahapurusha Srimanta Sankaradeva founded the Neo Vaishnavite movement in Assam. Throughout the 15th and 16th centuries, Neo-Vaishnavism experienced a strong wave of transformation and renaissance that brought about enormous changes in all facets of life. A multifaceted mind, Sankaradeva helped bring about an Assamese socio-cultural revolution. During that time, Sankaradeva served as Assam's socio-cultural and religious renaissance's spokesperson. With his Neo-Vaishnavite movement, the great saint Sankaradeva helped to establish the identity of the Assamese people. He had a very remarkable influence on Assamese society, religion, literature, and culture. Sankaradeva did not worship idols and he believed in just one God. This movement was hence also referred to as “Ek Sarana Hari Naama Dharma” and “Mahapurushia Dharma.” This movement helped create a new social order by eradicating untouchability, injustice, and inequality while also disseminating the bhakti cult's philosophy to the broader population. The Neo-Vaishnavite movement, which was instrumental in fostering racial harmony and brotherhood in Assamese society, gave birth to the Sattra institution-the vaishnavite monastery, an Assamese socio-religious and cultural organisation. Through a variety of activities that constantly represent an Assamese diverse society, the Sattra institutions gave the Assamese community a new dimension.
