- 15th century Vaishnavite saint Srimanta Sankardeva is an iconic legend permeates beyond the realm of spirituality and spreads across every other social and cultural aspect of lives of north-eastern part of India, including arts, literature, drama, politics, warfare and so on. Sankardeva was not only a religious leader but also a social reformer of outstanding merit. A progressive visionary by nature, he wanted to build an egalitarian society which would bring solidarity, unity and integrity among the people belonging to different castes, communities and sects in Bharatvarsh. A humanist of the highest order, Srimanta Sankardeva relentlessly fought to free the society from the clutches of the caste system and stringent religious practises. Being a leader of the Bhakti movement, he strived to break the social barriers of caste and community and tried to congregate diverse sections of people under the cover of a religious umbrella, a new sect of Assamese Vaishnavism, known as ek-sarana-nam-dharma". He made a 12-year long journey across different parts of India to absorb and acquaint himself with the real spirit of the country that he, later on, infused in his creative endeavours. Mahapurush Sankardeva was a great scholar and an outstanding literacy genius. He tried to disseminate his spiritual philosophies and the stories related to the life of Lord Krishna through his literature and Drama. Sankardeva's major literacy creations are the 'Kirtan Ghosa', 'Gunamala' etc. The holy songs and dramas written by him are known as 'Borgeet' and 'Ankia Naat' respectively. He coined a new language, Assamese Brajavali, to use as the medium of his dramas, Bhaona and Ankia Naats, that helped him connect with the common people of Assam at an intimate level. The film GURUJANA, as he is known by his followers, rendered musically to tell the story of the great man, often revered as the reincarnation of lord Vishnu, who is known as the god of love, affection, justice, knowledge and compassion. This film is a unique experience of knowing a great man through music and reverberation of his creation, not by scripted narration.
