Rachana Sangraha 5 by Dilip Kumar [Hardcover]

Dilip Kumar Roy's life is vast and multifaceted - he is a musician, singer, composer, and lyricist; a seeker of spiritual nectar; a believer in the “impossible”; a universal lover with "Akumar Yash" (youthful glory); a mystic seeking the divine in the world; a distinguished literary servant, a loving friend, a witty and refined person, a strong individual with immense pride, self-conscious, a disciple of Aurobindo, a servant of the nation, and yet a recluse. He can be described in many more ways. He is greater than what he has given to the world. His entire life, including his literature, music, and poetry, is framed in a unified spiritual consciousness, dedicated to the eternal search for truth.

In total, Dilip Kumar Roy is a globally oriented genius. However, it cannot be denied that his creation reached its ultimate fulfilment in his songs. Not only this, but he also played a significant role in spreading music, both received and experienced, across the world. While music was his first love and initial identity, his second identity was as a prominent literary figure, who excelled in his unique spiritual practice. From the world of music, he transitioned into the realm of literature.

With over a hundred books in Bengali and English, his works include novels, poetry, music, travelogues, romances, and stories of the supernatural, with a diverse range of subjects. It must be said that most of his writings are imbued with mysticism or spiritual themes. Within the modern world, his literary works resonate with a strange sense of the supernatural. Rather than focusing solely on narrative, his works emphasize mental self-awareness, the outlines of future life, the form and characteristics of creation, and the absolute presence of God - things that the reader experiences in every moment. In Bengali literature, we have never observed such thematic configurations before.

This fifth volume of Dilip Kumar Roy Rachanasamagra includes: Abar Bhramyaman, Tarang Rodhibe Ke, Abhavnīya, Pratidiner Prarthanay, and Patrābali (Letters).
