At the beginning of the 16th century, when the shadowy darkness of the tyrannical Mughal Empire began to spread throughout India, the 8 independent Hindu kingdoms of Bengal kept the torch of independent traditional rule burning in Eastern India during the period of unrest. Among these kingdoms, under the leadership of Agnikul Gaurab Raishrestha Maharajadhiraj Pratapaditya of Jessore kingdom, the power of Hindus gradually took shape, and by landing on the front line against the invasion of the Mughal empire, he spread his rule over the whole of Bengal and built an integral traditional Jessore empire. At the end of the 16th century, Maharaja Pratapaditya extended Jessore's borders from Puri to Sandwip by suppressing the Lohani Pathans of the Orissa Sultanate and the Portuguese in the creeks. By ousting the Mughals from the whole of Eastern India and declaring the independence of Bengal, he re-established the Bengali nation's past glory of valour. Maharaj Pratapaditya

☀️🔱 Śubha Narabarṣa 1430. Today is the 1430th coronation ceremony of our Emperor Gaudeshwar Maharajadhiraja Sri Shashanka Deva.  Following the postulates of Suryasiddhanta, ParamShaiva Samrat Shashanka Deva introduced the national calendar system of the Gaudiya Bengali nation - "Bangabda" or Shashanka Samvat. Later, following the path of Emperor Shashanka, Bangabda was used in various temple inscriptions by several Bengali Royals. 1) ParamaShaiva Sri Harapadarat Latangdev Bhatta, a general descendant of Emperor Shashanka, is mentioned in the Champahati soil inscription in Bangabda San 79 Ashwin (672 AD). This is the oldest archaeological evidence of Bangabda. 2) Shaivite Sena dynasty emperors were the pioneers of Bangabda. In the 11th century AD, references to Bangabda have been found from two Shiva temples of Dehargram and Sontapal villages of Bankura in the Gauda Empire during the Sena era. 3) Narasimh
