Desh 2 April 2022 issue looks back at the life and works of Mahendranath Gupta (Sri M), the recorder and compiler of Sri Sri Ramkrishna Kathamrita, on the occasion of the gospel’s 120th anniversary. The book, which has had a profound influence on Bengali society, stands out in its simplicity of explaining complex philosophical ideas with the help of metaphors, parables and anecdotes. However, beyond the inherent spirituality, the world of Kathamrita also spans a subtext of prevalent societal norms and colonial reality. It is a unique synthesis of history and spirituality, scripture and culture, the timeless and the contemporary. This issue comprises essays by Swami Chetanananda, Swami Subirananda, Swami Shivapradananda, Sankar and Tirthankar Das Purakayastha. There is a travelogue on Spiti Valley by Shankarlal Sarkar and a couple of poems by Joy Goswami. This issue also carries regular sections like the serialized novels ‘Kanchanfuler Kobi’ by Masud Ahmad and ‘Udhatakani Chittani’ by Sutapa Basu, Mantabya, Granthalok, Shilpo Sanskriti, Galpo, Chithipatra, Seshkatha etc.
