High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Prajnalok Mahasthavir (1879-1971) was a prominent scholar, writer and orator of Pali and a preacher, educationist and writer of Buddhism. In 1954, the Burmese government awarded him the title of Agga Mahapandit for his religious work and social services. In 1933, Burma's most venerable group of vikkhus organised a grand assembly (mahasanghadan) to award him the title of Buddha Shasan Birzasthambha Shasan Dhwaj on his birthday. Born on 31 December 1879 as Dharmaraj Barua in the village of Vaidyapara in Boalkhali, Chittagong, he came in contact with Acharya Punnachar Mahasthavir at the age of 21. He received from the acharya shramanya and upasampada at Shakyamuni Vihara and in 1909 he studied Dharma and Vinaya at Naikhaine. Prajnalok went to Sri Lanka to study the Tripitaka under Upasen Mahasthavir, principal of Saddharmodaya Mahavidyalaya in 1913. Returning to Bengal, he formed an association called Zinshasan Samagam with his young vikkhu student friends to propagate Buddhism.
