We would like to congratulate Anandodhara for being in the horizon of the Australian-Bengali landscape for the last twenty-two years. Their presence has enriched the Bengali culture all around Australia. Besides supplying Bengali magazines, books and music CDs they have played a major role in inviting prominent Bengali authors, poets and intellectuals from both India and Bangladesh to Australia for many years. We are one of the foundation members of the Bangla Sahitya Sansad (BSS) in Melbourne and fondly remember the role Srimanta Mukherjee played in inviting the writer Sunil Gangluli to Australia in 2001. Sunil Ganguli’s visit to Melbourne initiated the formation of BSS. Since then BSS and Anandodhara (through Srimanta) have collaborated in the Overseas Author’s program each year.

We realise that with the recent catastrophes created by Corona and cyclone Amphan, the world of Bengali print magazines and books is going through a major shakeup. I am sure, in this changing scenario, Anandodhara will be able to discover a new pathway to enrich the cultural hunger of the Australian Bengali community. We wish them all the best.

Anondodhara has been serving us for the last thirteen years by providing Bengali magazine & books in Australia. They have been very active throughout the years in all festivals especially Durga Puja, Bengali New Year with newly published books & magazines from Dhaka & Kolkata. It would be impossible in overseas to enrich our Bengali heritage & culture without Anondodhara & people work behind the scene. Thanks, Anondodhara for your kind help & support. Hope to be connected you all for many more years.
