Acharya Ilaram Das : ウィキペディア英語版 | Acharya Ilaram Das
Acharyya Ilaram Das (1929–2003) (Assamese: ইলাৰাম দাস) was a devout votary of Mahapurusha Srimanta Sankaradeva and founder of Ek Saran Bhagawati Samaj. He was an orator par excellence. He may be called a littérateur with a unique quality of writing not only by pen but by his God gifted voice. == Early life == Ilaram was born the eldest of five surviving children in a small village called Jaluguti of undivided Nagaon District(now Morigaon District)in the state of Assam of parents Kaliram Das and Khopadoi Das on 23 December 1929. Ilaram had the opportunity to nurture his childhood by elixir of Vaishnava Ideology of harmonious living. Das was the first student of Jaluguti area to pass the Matriculation Examination in 1945.In 1947,he passed I.A Examination from Nagaon College.While still pursuing his graduate studies, Shri Das witnessed a few extremely shocking incidents,which played a catalysing role in his decision to foray into the field of socio religious reform.One such particularly shocking incident was perpetrated in 1947 during Phalgutshav or Holi celebrations. It was in Batadrawa, the holy seat of Srimanta Sankardeva’s immanence where people of all strata and belonging to all castes and creeds did not really enjoy the rights of entry. In the huge gathering for the Phalgotshav, three persons belonging to the scheduled caste Kaivartta community from the villages of Raidongia and Kobaikata of Nagaon district went up to pray in front of the guru asana. A few persons from the upper classes, on learning that they were Kaivarttas kept them kneeling down and humiliated them by shoving cow dung in their mouth. This left an indelible mark on the college going Ilaram, who had gone there to enjoy the Dol festival. Did not all men belong to the same god? The scriptures claim that the soul resided in all life forms without discrimination. Does the faith preached by Mahapurush Sankardev accommodate such segregations? Such questions left Ilaram deeply worried. It was then that a few members of his community approached their vanguard student Ilaram and told him that his college education had no value, as he would face the same fate as they if he dared go up to the guru asana to pray. Immediately after this Ilaram Das organised a mammoth rally of over one thousand members of his community and other backward classes to protest against such attempts to tain the religious ideals of guru Sankara, Consequently, a large religious meet was held under the presidency of Sahitya Ratna Harinarayan Duttabaruah and in the presence of a few satradhikars.Harinarayan Duttabaruah took the initiative in passing a resolution to open the doors of the Batadrawa thaan(seat) for all to pray. The satradhikars regretted the incident and apologised to the people. After completing his studies Ilaram Das took up the post of teacher in the Jaluguti High School. He was successful as a teacher and was popular among his students. He, however, did not adjure social reforms and politics. The political ideals of Mahatma Gandhi fascinated him and led him to take an active part in the struggle for independence even as a student. As he was an influential, conscious and educated young man from a scheduled caste community he easily came close to such stalwarts as Tyagbeer Hem Baruah, Deva kanta Baruah, Mahendra Mohan Choudhury and others of the then most influential party, the Indian National Congress. Despite invitations from them to contest in the elections for the Legislative Assembly, Sri Das adhered to the ideals of Srimanta Sankardeva and dedicated himself to spreading his ideals and gave up active politics.
