Personal Traits
Sanyal used to live in “Mangabari”, a house adjacent to “Kamal Kutir” in Kolkata. Every morning he used to have tea with another Brahmo missionary, Braja Gopal Niyogi and discuss about various matters. Although serious-minded he was a sweet tempered person. His songs and kirtans not only inspired great people like Keshub Chunder Sen, but also numerous others who were raised to a higher level of divine consciousness. He had given himself a name “Premdan”.
Apart from composing songs, he wrote extensively. Keshub Chunder Sen took part in one of his plays Navabrindavan, illustrating the principles of the New Dispensation. He travelled extensively as a missionary and had many well-wishers and followers throughout the country. He accompanied Keshub Chunder Sen to Mumbai when he went there in 1867 to establish links with the newly established Prarthana Samaj.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or traits:
“We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one’s parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as “self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
