Shankar Dev : Amar Chitra Katha Vol. 742 (P)

Shankaravara was a boy of extraordinary talents—he could outrun all his friends and swim across the mighty Brahmaputra, even when it was swollen with floodwaters. But it wasn't until his grandmother scolded him for neglecting his studies that he took her words to heart. From that moment, Shankaravara devoted himself to learning, eventually earning the name Shankar Dev from his guru.

After fulfilling his responsibilities as a student and householder, Shankar Dev embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery, one that would ultimately lead to the founding of the Vaishnava movement in Assam. This inspiring story traces the early life and spiritual awakening of one of Assam's most revered figures, whose legacy continues to shape the region's cultural and religious landscape.
