生平
达斯生于东孟加拉吉大港一个印度教徒(Hindu)家庭。他早年入加尔各答的管辖区学院(Presidency College,管辖区(Presidency)指孟加拉管辖区)。1874年,他被任命为大吉岭的菩提寄宿学校(Bhutia Boarding School)校长。
1878年,一位藏族教师、喇嘛伍金嘉措(Ugyen-gyatso)为达斯取得了赴扎什伦布寺的护照。1879年6月,达斯和伍金嘉措自大吉岭启程赴西藏。他们在西藏逗留了六个月,并带着许多藏文和梵文文献回到大吉岭。这些文献成为达斯日后从事藏学研究的资料。1880年,达斯一直在大吉岭研究这些资料。
1881年11月,达斯和伍金嘉措再次赴西藏。他们考察了雅砻河谷,并于1883年回到印度。[1]
他曾经一度作为英国间谍赴西藏从藏族人、俄国人、汉人那里获得情报。在他离开西藏后,他的使命曝光,许多之前和他友好的藏族人都遭到了报复。他在大吉岭度过了余生。他将自己家命名为“拉萨别墅(Lhasa Villa)”,并在这里招待了许多知名人物,如查尔斯·阿尔弗雷德·贝尔(Charles Alfred Bell)以及河口慧海(Ekai Kawaguchi)。1882年,他会见了海伦娜·布拉瓦茨基(Helena Blavatsky)和亨利·斯太尔·奥尔科特(Henry Steel Olcott),这两个人都是神智学协会的创始人。
1917年,萨拉特·钱德拉·达斯逝世。
