After twelve years of pilgrim tour all over India Sankardev’s
grandmother Kherhuti and other folks of his village were overjoyed by his
sight. Later his grandmother started to think deeply about Sankardev’s lonely
life. She was filled with emotion to see her grandson‘s incomplete life without
a partner. It was an early exit of his wife from his life where there was many
years to go for Sankardev. She thought that Sankardev’s life has become like
the edges of a tree without a proper ground. Pondering about all these grandmother
Kherhuti was quite distressed about his future that how he is going to live his
life and who is going to take care of him at his later stage. Thinking day and
night about all these one day she called many of her elderly members for a meet
to discuss about Sankardev’s future and to help settle his life for the second
time with a new lady named as Kalinadi who belonged to Kasthya family.
In advent of his second marriage Sankardev had four children
from Kalinadi who gave birth to three sons named as Rama Nanda, Kamalalusan and
Harisaran. The fourth child was a girl whose name was Rukmini (alias
Vishnupriya). After his successful second marriage and extension of family
members the relatives thought of appointing him with Bhuyan title. To this
suggestion Sankardev in a polite manner declined it by stating there is no
necessity of offering him with Bhuyan title. For in his twelve years span of nationwide
pilgrim venture to acquire varied knowledge in spiritual context had completely
disillusioned him from materialistic path and wanted to emerge in the spiritual
realm by concentrating on God’s pursuit. He reasoned that he does not want to lose
the real essence of life which he had gained with great difficulty. Sankardev
expressing his position had persuaded them not to force him further and stated
that he is sorry for being unable to make their wish come true.
