Shabda Cayanika ("A Collection of Words") is a series of books in the form of an etymological encyclopedia that assembles a vast number of discourses given in his native Bengali language by the philosopher and social reformer Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. Since 1985 the author began to give the speeches that were later transcribed and called Shabda Cayanika. As stated by the publisher on the book's preface: "Ostensibly, Shabda Cayaniká is a series devoted to the linguistics and philology of the Bengali language, but in reality it is much more than that. The author uses the platform of the word as a point of departure to take the reader on a journey through all the varied landscapes of human knowledge history, geography, medicine, science, art, religion, philosophy, etc. and in the process adds the indelible stamp of his own unique intellect, enriching our experience with new ideas and enabling us to see our human heritage in a way we have never been able to before."

In various parts of the series the author talks about economy (see f.e. Prout Globe) and social problems emphasizing the irrationality of many anti-social behaviour perpetrated by men in the name of God (see f.e. Prout Globe). The Microvita researcher Ram Shettigar, speaking about Devayonii Microvita in his article quote this book.
