Ramai Pandit (Bengali: রামাই পণ্ডিত Ramai Ponđit, Ramai the Wise) was a medieval Bengali poet^[2] from the Rarh region of Bengal. The exact date of his birth is not known, but some scholars believe that he was born in the later half of the 10th century^[3] and also lived in the 11th century AD, as he is a contemporary to Mayur Bhatt, the court-poet of King Lausen.^[4] Some scholars believe that he lived in the 13th or 14th century AD.^[5] He is famous as the author of Shunya Purana,^[6] the scripture of Dharma Puja Bidhan, written in the 11th century AD.^[4] The extant Shunya Purana refers to events that occurred in the 14th century.

American Sanskrit scholar Edward Washburn Hopkins wrote in his "Origin and Evolution of Religion" in 1923 that,

Thus Ramai Pandit, who, in the Middle Ages, was an earthly expounder of the 19 great void I I doctrine (and was soon afterwards revered as a worker of miracles, a supernatural power), addresses this "form of the void," Shunyamurti, as "sole lord of all the worlds " and begs it as " highest god" to confer boons.^[7]
