Aniruddhadev

Born to a Bhuyan named Gondagiri, Aniruddhadev was a disciple of Gopal Ata[4] and the founder of the Mayamara satra of the Kalasamhati, the followers of which revolted against Ahom kingdom.

After the completion of his studies, he came back to his place and founded a Satra at Bishnu-Bali Kuchi and started propagating the Vaishnava religion from the month of Magha (January/February) 1601.

[7] Due to the frequent raids from the neighbouring tribes of the Daphla Hills, he shifted to Naha Ati, on the banks of Marnai river, present-day Lakhimpur district.

[9] The building of satras belonging to Brahmasamhati by the state (Ahom kingdom) and further demoting Aniruddhadev and his followers to the background led to a sense of alienation among them.

Aniruddhadev was able to convince that his missionary work will bring no harm to the King's authority and after coming to an agreement was permitted to continue his activities.
