Great tradition of saints in North Eastern states also: Verma, Dy.CM Tripura*
*Ashtalakshmi Santa Vichar Sammelan 2022 Concept*
There may be different religions and sects in the world but the Jagadguru or saint of that religion and sect always teaches everyone the principle of the same. They keep saying love each other and help each other. So that different saint poets can be organized on a single platform. Here is everything to know about the Ashtalakshmi Sant Vichar Sammelan to be held on 9th and 10th December 2022 in Agartala, Tripura.
It is an attempt to recognise, celebrate and micro-communicate the eternal, indigenous and folk tales of seven north-eastern states of India and Sikkim in the form of written literature. Gatherings are organized to express themselves through oral tradition or even through music, dance or theatrical forms.
Just as Maharashtra benefited from Saint Dnyaneshwar, similarly North Purvanchal can be called the talent of Dhani Shankardev. The Bhakti movement gained momentum in the then Kamrup region with Srimanta Madhavdev under his patronage. Ashtalakshmi Sant Vichar Sammelan aims at a two-way introduction to take these similarities to a wider audience.
The contribution of freedom fighters in the Indian freedom struggle is also mentioned in our great history. From Rani Gaidinliu and Haipau Jadonang to Veer Tikendrajit Singh and many others who fought locally as well as more direct struggles on the mainland, the history of modern India is incomplete without mention of the heroes of the Northeast.
From modern classical to ancient history, Kamrup region is a symbol of Indian culture. Honorable Prime Minister of India Shri. Narendra Modi conferred the title of Ashtalakshmi to the northeastern states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Sikkim and Tripura. This included both the number of kingdoms and the tradition of worshiping the goddess.
Ashtalakshmi Sant Vichar Sammelan is the first of its kind in the North East region of India. Its concept and objective is not only to explore the rich cultural and religious traditions of the region but also to strengthen communication and exchange with the rest of the country, thus creating a strong and unified national identity.
In the 75th year of Indian Independence, this program will be a humble tribute to the anniversaries of Independence. To enhance our own personal understanding of the Northeast region of India, its differences with the rest of the country.Lectures and seminars are organized on various topics to celebrate and share with each other the great thread of imagination of Indian culture that has defined this land for centuries. Also, the North-Eastern States Some programs have been organized to introduce the traditional culture. Mahant of Shanti Kali Mandir and senior thinker Shri Chitta Maharaj will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award on the occasion.
