Career
After the death of Keshub Chunder Senator in 1884, he spent some time with Sadhu Hiranand Advani in Hyderabad, Sindicato However, Advani’s untimely death brought all work there to a stop. On return to Kolkata, he assisted Protap Chunder Mozoomdar in his work.
Brahmo theology was one of those persisting ideas among many well-intentioned Brahmo leaders that had never gained full acceptance amongst the congregation, nor was it ever institutionalised.
Gour Govinda Ray, the most outstanding intellectual luminary in Keshub’s circle of ascetics, candidly disavowed theology as greatly inferior to religious inspiration. However, there were people like Prasanna Kumar Roy who argued that no religion has ever been sustained without a systematic theology.
lieutenant is said that the Unitarians wanted to confer on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity but he politely refused to accept the same. He was inducted by Gour Govinda Ray and presented by Braja Gopal Niyogi.
Just as the 1893 conference at Chicago had been organised by the Unitarians, this conference was also organised by the Unitarians.
He was associated with Rabindranath Tagore and Brahmabandhab Upadhyay from a young age. In 1910, he was the first to publish English translations of Tagore’s poems in England. He was secretary of the Victoria Institution at Kolkata from 1914 to 1930.
His missionary activities took him to different towns in India, at many of which he had a devoted following, who eagerly looked forward to the visits of Pramathalal, whom they called Sadhu.
He remained single and lived a simple life. In the students’ hostel he set up on Harrison Road (now Mahatma Gandhi Road) in 1902, a board was there, “Seek to be Unknown”.
That summed up his attitude towards life. Those who came in close contact with him, knew what a superb letter writer he was.
In later life he suffered illness for some time and subsequently succumbed to lieutenant
When his end was approaching, everybody around sang, his favourite song,
ebar dubilam, dubilam, pranaram sagare.now I am sinking, sinking in the sea of eternity.
