জগত গুৰু শ্ৰীমন্ত শঙ্কৰদেৱৰ অমৃত সিদ্ধান্ত

Mahaabhaagavat was translated into Asameeya language by Shreemanta Shankardev and his disciples (total twelve parts. Most of the parts translated by shankardev & some parts by his disciples) which was named as Shreemad bhaagavat, and this translation work is the first amongst the regional languages of India. After that Mahaabhaagavat was translated into different languages like Hindi, Oriyaa, Bengalee, Tamil, Maaraathee, English and other languages. The opinion on the context of Shreemad bhaagavat made by Dr. Heeren Gohaai is important from stand point of Indian social structure, and he said, “In sanskrit Bhaagavat, the progress of low castes has been mentioned as the atheism of the Kali yug, i.e. the low caste people are the black sheep for the kali yug. But in the composition of Shankardev there is no any feelings of untouchability, rather Shankardev praised the so called low caste people so that they can build confidence within them.”
On analysing the different compositions of Shankardev, it is to be men- tioned that the parts of the Shreemadbhaagavat translated by Shreemanta Shankardev are the heart-touching songs for the small boys & girls, the scientific & healthy method of life style for young generations, the store house of infinite knowledge for the scholars and the divine tree of Baikuntha for the devotees. Shreemanta Shankardev used different chhanda like payaar chhanda, dulari chhanda, lechhaari chhanda etc. in Shreemadbhaagavat & he used simple & lucid words completely in artistic way.

KEERTAN GHOSHAA – Keertan Ghoshaa contains twenty seven numbers of parts. Each part is comprised of one subject matter and each subject matter contains one or more than one keertan. The keertans are saturated with the glory of Lord Krishna with scriptural analysis. The keertans are composed in different chhandas like Jhunaa, payaar, Jhumuraa, dulari etc. Each keertan has two parts i.e. Ghoshaa and pada (Pad). Tunes are different for different chhandas. It is to be noted that Shankardev was the first to invent the method of disciplined sitting arrangement during worship to God and the systematic way of Prasaad distribution and taking, at the end of Naam-Keertan. In Bengal Chaitanyadev propagated Sankeertan of Raadhaa-Krishna & Chaitanyadev (1486-1533 A.D.) was forty years younger than Shankardev (1449-1568 A.D.). After that Shreemat Gosvaamee Tulsee Daas (1554-1680A.D.) of Uttar Pradesh composed Raamcharit-Maanas and extensively propagated the listening & singing the glory of Raam. Simultaneously Sur Daas, Meera 88866, Keshav Daas were the great singers of sixteenth century & they also propagated the prayer-song related to the glory of krishna and Raam.
