Maharshi Debendranath stated a Brahmo school for the young boys and girls at simulia. The school used to hold its class in the capacious Puja-Dalan of Dutta family. Later on when the present-writer met Maharshi Debendranath and introduced Pandit Priyanath Sastri, he exclaimed: “I know all men of your family. Taraknath Datta was the lawyer of our estate”. The writer was astronished that the old man of eighty still had a sharp memory. Thus he came to know three generations of Datta family. Narendranath had the advantage of being born in a house where from Maharshi Debendranath down to all the notables of the time have visited some occasion or other. His uncle Taraknath was a member of the Brahmo Somaj and along with Umanath Gupta became its joint secretary. {edit} From the book “ Swami Vivekananda Patriot-Prophet A Study” By Bhupendranath Datta, Nababharat Publishers 153/1 Radha Bazar Street Calcutta 1 and Prited by Benoy Ratna Sinha at Bharati Printing Works,141 Vivekananda Road, Calcutta -6 : India. 1954, Published by Sri Mrityunjoy Saha.
