Pandit Neelakantha Das Bio
Nilakantha was born on 5th August 1884 at
Sriramachandrapur, one of the Shola Shasans, the
sixteen conservative Brahmin villages around Puri. His
parents wanted him to rekindle the scholarly tradition
of their family. Throughout his life, Nilakantha was
aware of this and he tried to uphold the values of his
family and also dedicated himself to the greater cause
of the nation. He was a man with a mission to bring in
revolutionary changes into the society. Those days, the
society deprived of the light of modern education, was
largely engrossed in superstitions. The colonial rulers
were also least bothered about the miserable
condition of common people. This article provides an
account of life and times in Odisha at the beginning of
the twentieth century as reflected in 'Atmajivani'.
Odia Book Atma Jeebanee By Pandit Neelakantha Das
An autobiography is a form of literature that articulates
the case of the individual as well as that of a nation. It is
not only an efficient way to narrate the nation, as story of
the nation, but also a sensitive measure of social changes.
In this regard, Pundit Nilakantha Das’s (1884-1966)
autobiography "Atma Jeebanee" (1963) is remarkable. It
presents an account of the life and times of the
contemporary Odishan society and the struggle of
Odishan people scattered in different provinces and
feudatory states. During the early years of the 20th
century, a new wave of change and transformation which
was blowing across India got its manifestations in Odisha
due to dedicated efforts of people like Utkal Gourav
Madhusudan and Utkalmani Pundit Gopabandhu.
Nilakantha was an honest disciple of Pundit Gopabandhu,
who was also highly inspired by Utkal Gourav
Madhusudan. Nilakantha belonged to group of committed
persons who were known under the common appellation
of Panchsakha, the five-companions of the Satyabadi Era.
