Jogrupak Charjapad O Lokayat sahitya By Nanigopal Bandapadhay

This insightful academic volume delves into the profound, layered meanings of the Charyapada by treating it as a Yoga-Rupak (allegory of Yoga). Nanigopal Bandyopadhyay argues that the verses contain sophisticated knowledge of Tantra and indigenous spiritual practices, often veiled in the cryptic Sandhya Bhasha. The analysis goes beyond simple literary criticism to discuss the text's connection with the core tenets of ভারতীয় দর্শন (Bharatiya Darshan) and local spiritual traditions. Key comparisons are made with fundamental texts like the পাতঞ্জল যোগসূত্র (Patanjal Yoga Sutra) and উপনিষদ (Upanishad), establishing the Charyapada's place within the wider Indian intellectual framework. It is an indispensable book for advanced research in the intersection of literature, philosophy, and religion.
