Atmiya Sabha

Activities

The main activity of the Sabha was conducting discussion and debate sessions on monotheistic Hindu Vedantism and similar subjects. Weekly meetings used to be conducted in Ram Mohan Roy's garden-house in Maniktala. Most of these gatherings were informal and only a handful of Bengali intellects used to attend these meetings. It was not a formal organization, and there was no membership registration procedure. However, the association intended to promote free and collective thinking. They also challenged and denounced orthodox religions.
