In 1895, Tagore, reached the Zenith; and one of his worshippers (who had not even seen him but knew him only through his writings) adorned him exquisitely with the words:“To give up one’s self at the feet of another is the truest of all gifts.”However petty or distant, the Sun--worshipper gets a share of the Sun’s rays. You are the world’s poet, yet to me it seems you are my own poet!”Ultimately after an eight-decade lustrous existence , this sun set in 1941 bequeathing man--kind a rich and unique heritage of literature that contains a divine message eternally capable of balming the bruised human world.And that is why, another devotee who imbibed the spirit underlying the message once said:I read Rabindranath every day, to read a line of his, is to forget all the troubles of the world.”Verily these words are a consummate description of the effect of Tagore’s literature.This book has been compiled so that the reader may enjoy a ramble in the poetic world of Tagore and thus feel the magnanimity of this peerless poet of humanity.
