Barpeta Satra :
Located in Assam, the North-Eastern province of India,
Barpeta-Than is a holy site of the Vaishnavite devotees. Sri Sri Madhav
Dev, the chief disciple of Srimanta Sankar Dev, the exponent of “ek saran hari
nam dharma”
established this great pith of Vashnavite religion, and the devotees
all over Assam consider it as the Boikuntha the second. Among the three
important religious sites i.e. Madhupur(Kochbihar), Barpeta and
Kamalabari(upper Assam), Barpeta satra is regarded as the binding for
cohesion of these satras (Tinio Rajyar Bandhani Than Barpeta). The
religious and cultural tradition of Barpeta Satra is very ancient and
diverse. The system of hereditary responsibility of performing Satriya
culture to some dynasty and introduction of “Hati” system with
responsibility of the same first introduced by Sri Sri Mathuradas Burha
Aata enhanced the dimension of Barpeta Satra and has lent it a rare
uniqueness.
This website is a humble endeavour on the part of Devotees Forum of Barpeta
Satra
to start an open platform to discuss all these aspects. It is very
natural that the very first attempt in bringing such a vast area through
this new medium to the public domain will not be free from some
lacunae.
