About Janmotsav of Sri Sri Madhav Dev

Janmotsav of Sri Sri Madhav Dev is a regional public holiday in the Indian state of Assam on the 6th day of the Assamese month of Jaistha, which means it usually falls in May in the western calendar.

Sri Sri Madhabdeva – born in 1489 at Letekupukhuri in Lakhimpur District of Assam, was an author and a saint-poet.

Madhabdev was an important preceptor of the Ekasara ma Dharma known for his loyalty to his guru, Sri Sri Srimanta Sankardev as well as his artistic brilliance.

Initially a Sakta worshipper, he was converted to Ekasara Dharma by Sri Sri Sankardev and became his most prominent disciple. He became the religious as well as the artistic successor of Sri Sri Sankardev after the latter’s death in 1568.

Madhabdev passed away in 1596 at Bhela Satra, Koch Bihar. He was 107 years old.

He is known particularly for his book of hymns, the am Ghosha, as well as a large selection of Borgeets.
