Sankardev's Main Souce Of Origination To Establish His 'Nam Dharma'

The main  source from which Sankardev derived to create the culture of Vaisnavism was from the source ‘Vaikunth Srimad Bhagavad’. From this scripture he received poignant knowledge about universal fact which is rooted to one source known  as Vishnu. Sankardev realized through the scripture that Vishnu’s power remains to be the sole essence in the expansion of his creation (the universe) through his supernatural power known as Maya or illusion. These universal bodies are in the regulatory of the implemented laws of mankind and nature under Vishnu’s direction.

This scripture was in the hands of a pious Brahman named as Jagdish Misra who was an  ace scholar from which Sankardev derived to establish Vaisnavism in  a very simplest manner that could be absorbed even in the mind of the layman. It was in  a strange dream Jagdish Mishra saw lord Vishnu instructing him to read out valuable essence of his book ‘Vaikunth Srimad Bhagavad’ to Sankardev. For this reason Misra came in search of Sankardev in Kamrup capital  as he was not available at his home town in Alipukhuri but at Gang Mu named place. Misra meet Sankardev at Gang Mu and expressed his desire to read out the precious essence of his scripture to him.

The strange part of Misra was that he took his last breath after reading out the complete version of the scripture. Exactly on the particular time of his completion in reading out the Srimad Bhagavad to Sankardev on the very spot Misra’s soul parted from his body. After his demise Sankardev took the scripture as a valuable asset and started to give dimension o Vishnu Bhakti path that was split into nine categories. For this reason Sankardev’s preaching was named as Bhagavati Nava(Nine) Vaishnav Dharama.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

The idea of préci writing was far developed during Sankardev’s time for it was he who first developed the concept of bringing the mammoth size of Bhagavad into a tiny piece of a 'Namghukha'. To give exemplification of this mammoth task he had appointed his topmost intelligent disciple Madhav Deb to do the job. But then Madhav Deb after long days of ponder was unable to give image to his impossible task of entering an  elephant into the hole of a needle that is giving massive Bhagavad Gita to a min booklet shape.

Seeing at Madhav Deb’s pitiful sight of failure after extensive effort the Guru addressed him not to struggle hard to find the idea as he will guide him to cream out the actual essence of the large scripture that will be later stated as the fertilized version  as ‘Namghukha’ by which reading one need not have to beat around the bush about what primarily God wants from his devotees. This small booklet type ‘Namghukha’ was written in the style for laymen understanding without introducing difficult terms of Sanskrit language. One following this 'Nam Dharma' ritually with devotion one can gain insight of about God's realm  and relish his power. It is futile to follow this scripture without devotional essence.
