Episode description

UNTOLD Podcast, Episode-69 ft. Prabhu Gopiram Bargayn Burabhakt of the historical Uttar Kamalabari Satra, Majuli. Gopiram Bargayn Burabhakt is 100 years old yet young by heart. Prabhu Burabhakt shares his experiences, and how things differ over time - about life, about the Uttar Kamalabari Satra and Majuli. Burabhakt was conferred with the prestigious Padma Shri in 2021 for his contribution to Sattriya and Ojapali. Amidst the 'Raas Utsav' season in Assam, Padma Shri Gopiram Bargayn Burabhakt shares how excitement enters their lives and that it has never changed. The significance of 'Raas Utsav' in Majuli and how 'Gurujona' - Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev - is worshipped. Beyond the knowledge, the zeal of Prabhu should be an inspiration for all. At the age of 100 years, he still wakes up to carry himself around the Satra and do what he has been doing for decades. This episode is a heart-soothing one, short but significant.
