They realized that the message of Sankardev and Madhavdev, two medieval saints, was the only path to redeem the society from the domination of high caste people as well regressive practices.

Though Srimanta Sankaradeva (1449-1568 AD) had preached an egalitarian ideology in the fifteenth century itself, some people with vested interests had infiltrated into the Satra institution and entrenched themselves as sole custodians of the order.

The first person, who took his mighty pen to fight these evils was Lakshminath Bezbaroa, the great litterateur of modern Assam.

Lakshminath Bezbarooah, the pioneer short story writer, wrote incessantly about the ideology of Srimanta Sankaradeva in his philosophical books and articles.

While the intellectual giants like Lakshminath Bezbarooah were fighting the social evils, many activities were going on at that time at the grass-root level also in Assam.

This historic meeting took place in 1928 on the premises of Biren Mahanta, the then chairman of Nagaon Municipal Board.

Ramakanta Muktiar had already been advising people to remove the malaise, which had crept into the Eka Sarana Nama Dharma preached by Srimanta Sankaradeva in the fifteenth century.

Thus he came to know about an organization named Jnanmalini Sabha at Palasoni, eight kilometres away from the Nagaon town on the Eastern side.

As the members of Jnanmalini Sabha promised assistance to Muktiar in his objectives, he set up a permanent publicity centre there in consultation with Haladhar Bhuyan.

All those scattered units now came together, under the umbrella of Sankara Sangha as it showed a ray of hope to them that reform activities will actually gather momentum.

The first-ever state-level committee was formed on February 4, 1934 AD in Sankaradeva Mandir premises of Nagaon town.

Eminent Sanskrit scholar Bhuban Chandra Bhuyan played a crucial role in the formation of this state-level body.

The fourth conference held on April 21, 1935 AD in Nagaon town was presided over by Nilamani Phukan, a great litterateur, as Padadhikar.

Later this name was changed yet again in the conference held in North Lakhimpur in 1970 AD when it became Srimanta Sankaradeva Sangha.

The followers of Eka Sarana Nama Dharma established the true philosophy of Srimanta Sankaradeva in these debates.

The supporters of Eka Sarana Nama Dharma were represented by Bhuban Chandra Bhuyan, the erudite Sanskrit scholar.

The Balipet debate took place between the followers of Eka Sarana Nama Dharma and the Gouriya scholars.

Thereupon Barua procured a letter of recommendation from the Satradhikar of Garmur Satra that he could get the commemoration service done by Nama-Prasanga.

Thereafter the annual sessions remained low key affairs due to the freedom struggle, which had risen to a crescendo.

Ramakanta Muktiar had started another organization named Asom Sankar Mission at Karhali village in 1931 AD.

Muktiar stayed there till 1968 AD and kept working for the dissemination of the true ideology of Eka Sarana Nama Dharma founded by Srimanta Sankaradeva.

The twentieth conference of the Sangha was held there in 1951 AD under the chairmanship of Pitambar Deva Goswami, the Satradhikar of Garmur Satra as Padadhikar.

The Silver Jubilee Session in 1956 AD at Kaliabor Kuwaritol in Nagaon district was presided over by eminent scholar, Dimbeswar Neog as Padadhikar.

This was followed by the formation of a literary wing in 1958 AD for spreading the gems of Sankari literature among the people.

Thus this youth wing has helped maintain peace and stability in the state as they preach non-violence and universal brotherhood.

Thus these schools have become centres for cultural excellence, though no publicity is given in order to avoid the attraction of media, which may harm the studies of the students.

Headquarters of the Srimanta Sankaradeva Sangha was established in Kalongpar of Nagaon on July 27, 1969 AD after the government gave 2.5 bighas of land there.

Presently it is preparing plans for setting up a university, named, Mahapurusha Srimanta Sankaradeva Viswavidyalaya.

This university will teach moral and ethical education, in addition, to present curricula so that future generations are imbued with good values.
