About the Host – Bishnujyoti Mudoi Bishnujyoti Mudoi is a native son of Majuli, born and brought up on this sacred river island, deeply connected to its soil, culture, and spiritual heritage. His journey into the heart of Majuli’s satra tradition began at the age of four, when he came to Kamalabari Satra during the time of Late Narayan Chandra Gowsami, the revered Satradhikar of Natun Kamalabari Satra.
