Smriticharan by Dilip Kumar Ray [Hardcover]

The river flows from the source to the estuary. Human life is like that. On either side of the winding road, each meaningful turn is filled with precious memories. Mahajan's memoirs are not only past history but also a wonderful intellectual resource. Dwijendralal Ray's illustrious son Dilipkumar Roy's 'Smriticharan' has pages and pages of great personalities like Rabindranath, Dwijendralal, Atulprasad, Acharya Prafullachandra, Sri Aurobindo, Girishchandra, Saratchandra talking intimately. Dilipkumar has given the reader a taste of the nectar of nineteenth-century India. The book is exceptional in that, along with the reminiscences, a saint's profound self-inquiry is also illuminated. Rathindranath Tagore said in the reading response, "You probably don't even know how your self-identity has emerged from your writing while writing simply and sincerely." In the book 'Smriticharan', the soul-searcher Dilip Kumar is revealed in a time filled with the wonderful smell of Mahajivan.
