    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed/Peer-reviewed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 4.727 (SJIF) Influence of Ramayana on Modern Assamese Poetry Dr. Maheswar Kalita Associate Professor in Assamese Cotton University, Guwahati, Assam Abstract The great Indian epic Ramayana was the origin source of the great tradition i.e. culture, not only of India but also of Nepal, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Thailand, Java, Cambodia and Indonesia. It is to be noted that the ‘culture’ may be described as the characteristics of a society. The ‘characteristics’ consist of every good work carried out by the human beings, i.e. language, literature, music, art, religion, cuisine and social habits. There are deep influences of Ramayana on Indian culture. Indian writers of different ages were influenced by the great epic. That was also seen in the writings of Assamese writers. Madhava Kandali, a famous Assamese poet of 14th century rendered the Ramayana to Assamese. That was not the beginning of the said influence on Assamese literature, as we have seen the influence on the Assamese oral literature also. The romantic and the modern poets had also great respect to Valmiki and to the Ramayana. The influential Assamese literary magazine Ramdhenu was republished in 1952 under the editorial leadership of Dr. Birendra Kumar Bhattacharya and had set trends in Assamese literature. Poets of Ramdhenu tried to combine the western literary styles with Indian ideals. They collected poetic elements from the Ramayana, Mahabharata and other Puranas. Thus, they were deeply influenced by the epics. This paper aims to analysis the influences of the Ramayana on the poetry of Ramdhenu age (1951-60) of Assamese literature.

  • Chapter Iv Vaisnavism and Satra Institution in Assam
    CHAPTER IV VAISNAVISM AND SATRA INSTITUTION IN ASSAM The vaisnavite movement of Assam initiated by Shri Sankaradeva during the last part of fifteenth century of Christian era is remarkable for the religious and social life of medieval Assam. Its impact on religion, literature, fine arts and social life of Assam, particularly on the Brahmaputra valley is indeed great. Now the details of vaisnavism are discussed below- Vaisnavism “Vaisnavism is the cult of worshipping Vishnu as the supreme deity in any one of his several forms. Later on vaisnavism was known as neo-vaisnavism, which had been propagated in the 15th 16th centuries onwards, stress was laid on bhakti and on the singing of prayer songs than on other priestly rituals” (Sarma, 1990: 327). The bhakti movement or the ekasharaniya-naam-dharma (religion to supreme devotion to one God) initiated by Sankaradeva towards the end of the 15th century reflects the religious, social and cultural history of the population of Assam (Nath, 1988: 306). Bhakti (a way to attain Holy Communion with God through devotion) movement was started by Sankaradeva at Bardowa which is situated at the middle of Assam. There after it spread throughout Assam, particularly in the Brahmaputra valley. Sankaradeva the father of this movement had to travel from one place to another place to avoid complexities that developed in the society in the course of his movement. This indirectly helped in the spread of his religion. This movement bred new ideas and institutions which upsurge religion, culture and other parameters. a) Vaisnavism in India: A social reform movement swept across India between the 12th and 15th century A.D and it was the bhakti movement based on the liberal doctrine of bhakti (Nath ed, 1989: 15).

During the poetry of that period, we find a typical Assamese community consciousness. During that period some of the poets became progressive in their attitude of course, according to some critics, that kind of consciousness was integrally related to the formation of the Assamese community as a whole. He rages a battle against the traditional Assamese poetry and he has been compared with the Beats poets of the 1960s and 1970s. He has shown that he can blend emotion and intellect, a tendency to experiment, a mixture of symbol and images, a keenness to observe life from different viewpoints etc. Barua has exhibited an intimate poetic touch through the observation of common human life. He has used both satire and narrative style in his poetry and these have turned out to be his strength. Ranjit Gogoi’s poem present before readers a sense of despondency and through such melancholy he indulges in self- introspection to find out the difficult answers of life. Ajit Bharali is another addition to the list of contemporary Assamese poetry.

  • Amulya Barua - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Amulya Barua - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Amulya Barua(30 June 1922 - 18 August 1964) Amulya Barua was the pioneer in modern Assamese poetry. He died in a tragic communal riot at Kolkata on August 18, 1946 at an early age of 24. During his short span of life he wrote a number of valuable poems with his revolutionary pen and left an indelible imprint in Assamese poetical world. With his progressive ideals soaked in deep sense of humanism and socialism he brought a new era in Assamese poetry. His only collection of poems Achina published after his death is now regarded as a precious gem in Assamese literature. Amulya Barua was born at Jorhat on June 30, 1922. A brilliant student since his school days he started his academic life at Jorhat. In 1941, he passed matriculation examination from Jorhat Govt High School with letter marks in Assamese and got himself admitted into the prestigious Cotton College at Guwahati. But unavoidable domestic problem compelled him to return home and he took admission into JB College at Jorhat. Passing the BA examination in 1945 he went to Kolkata for higher studies and admitted into the MA class of Calcutta University. But the communal clashes that engulfed whole Bengal in 1946 killed Amulya with many other hostel mates at Raja Ram Narayan Street. His immature death was an irrepearable loss to the world of Assamese poetry. Like many other of his contemporary poets, Amulya Barua also started his poetical career as a romantic poet.
