One of the most popular Indian novels of all ages, 'Ananda Math' was translated innumerable times into Indian and English languages. Five editions were published in Bengali and Hindi during the author's lifetime, the first in 1882. The novel has the backdrop of the 18th century famine in Bengal, infamous as "Chhiyattorer Manvantar" (famine of 76th Bengali year, 1276), to narrate the saga of armed uprising of the ascetics and their disciples against the pillaging East India Company rulers. The uprising is historically known as 'Santan Vidroha', the ascetics being the children of Goddess Jagadambe. The saga of 'Ananda Math' is thrilling and best epitomised in the patriotic mass-puller song "Bande Mataram' ('Hail thee, O My Motherland'). The song is still a mantra that stirs imagination of millions of Hindus. The ascetics robbed the tormentors of people -- the British rulers and the greedy jamindars -- distributed the looted wealth to poverty-stricken people but kept nothing for themselves. Their targets were mostly the Company armoury and supplies. They had a highly organised setup, spread throughout Bengal. It was also India's first battle for freedom, and not the Sipahi Vidroha of 1857.

Are you successful in your life? Do you motivate people? Do people pay attention to you by getting impressed by your persona? Are you successful in maintaining your personal and professional relationships? If you do not have any definite answers then these problems would be solved only through complete personality development because personality plays an important role in increasing success fame and honour of a person but a common man of our country does not take much interest in his personality development. Their only notion behind this is that they consider the effort of polishing personality as a mere ostentation and thus they avoid living in a proper order. Whereas in the modern era if one has to get success one must focus on complete personality development. It is your personality that leaves an impact on people and motivated by this impact they start following you.
