Tapasmala: Tazkiratul Awliya (Volume 3)

About this book

Who wrote Tapasmala: Tazkiratul Awliya (Volume 3)? Tapasmala: Tazkiratul Awliya (Volume 3) is written by Bhai Girish Chandra Sen.

Bhai Girish Chandra Sen rendered Fariduddin Attar's famous Persian work 'Tazkiratul Awliya' into Bangla as 'Tapasmala'. This third volume continues the accounts of the lives of Muslim ascetics and saints, taking the reader deeper into the world of the Sufi masters.

That a non-Muslim Bengali writer brought the lives of Muslim saints into Bangla with such care in the nineteenth century gives the book a special place in the history of Bangla literature and interfaith harmony. For readers of spiritual literature, researchers and those who have read the first two volumes, this is the book that completes the collection.

The book has 96 pages, measures 5.5 × 8.5 inches, is printed on 70 GSM offset paper and comes in a gel-bound hardcover.
