⚜️|| Mahamatya Yashodasa: The Genius Behind the Revival of the Pala Empire ||⚜️ Mahamatya Yashodasa, the celebrated prime minister of the Pala emperor Gaudeshwar Rajyapala, stands out in Indian history as both a brilliant administrator and an extraordinary military strategist. Born into the Royal Varendra Mahishya family of Brihadvatta village to the feudal lord Shankhadasa and his consort Durbari Devi, Yashodasa also ruled over Bhaturiya in Varendramandala under the Pala Empire, consolidating his authority in the region while serving the central power. Under his able guidance, the Pala Empire, which had been in decline, experienced a remarkable revival, regaining its authority and prestige across the Indian subcontinent. During his ministership, internal rebellions were firmly suppressed, and neighboring kingdoms were brought under the sway of the central Pala authority. Regions such as Anga, Kalinga, and Utkala acknowledged Pala suzerainty, while the rulers of Pandya, Kar...

Dhimana and Bitpala - The Founders of Gaudiya Pala Art Tradition

Image
"ধেয়ানের ধনে মূর্ত্তি দিয়েছে আমাদের ভাস্কর বিটপাল আর ধীমান, - যাদের নাম অবিনশ্বর," ~ "আমরা", ৺সত্যেন্দ্রনাথ দত্ত । 🖌️ Founders of Gauḍīya Pāla Art Tradition: Dhīmana and Bitpāla ⚒️ During the Pāla period, two eminent artists emerged from Varendra (modern north-central Bengal) - the master craftsman Dhīmana and his son Bitpāla. Through their creative genius, the distinct Gauḍīya Pāla art style flourished. The Tibetan historian Lama Tāranātha, in his “History of Indian Buddhism,” mentions that Dhīman was a follower of the Nāga tradition (Nāga-rīti). In ancient India, the practice of art was generally vaṁśānukrama (hereditary). Thus, the style of one generation was often carried forward into the next. The art of the Pāla period is a striking example of this continuity, most notably in Pāla citrakalā (painting). The principal features of Pāla citrakalā include chandramaya rekhā (rhythmic linearity), delicate play of āloka–chāyā (light and shado...

Sahasrabahu - The Prince of Bengal Who Ruled Thailand

Image
●|| Sahasrabahu - The Prince of Bengal Who Ruled Thailand ||● The Aryan Hindu Civilization was brought to Thailand indeed by the Bengalees. As per history, Mahārājādhirāja Sahasrabāhu, the son of Baṅgarāja Siṁhabāhu, brother of Laṅkāpati Vijaẏa founded his dynasty in Thailand and granted the land a Sanskrit name Śyāmadēśa 🇹🇭 Most of us are familiar with the legendary tale of Prince Vijaya, the eldest son of King Simhabahu of the ancient Bengali kingdom of Singhapura, who sailed to Sri Lanka and established the Sinhala royal dynasty. His story is well documented in Sri Lankan chronicles such as the "Mahavamsa" and "Dipavamsa". However, what remains less known is the remarkable journey of his younger brother, Prince Sahasrabahu, who, much like his elder brother, played a crucial role in expanding Bengali influence in Southeast Asia. Historical traditions and cultural imprints suggest that Prince Sahasrabahu sailed eastward and laid the foundations of wha...
