A Spiritual Offering: Tagore's Poetic Masterpiece

Gitanjali: Rabindranath Tagore

Gitanjali: Rabindranath Tagore

Gitanjali: Rabindranath Tagore unveils an enthralling compilation of 103 lyrical masterpieces, artfully rendered from Bengali by the esteemed poet himself. This mesmerizing anthology encompasses 53 poems from the original Gitanjali, complemented by an additional 50 selections drawn from eight other poetic ventures and the theatrical work Achalayatan. The title, translating to 'offering of songs', encapsulates the essence of this work, rich in devotional depth and spiritual enlightenment. Within these lines, Tagore’s profound reflections resonate with the dazzling wonders of existence, celebrating life’s richness, enigma, and variety. While the translations may deviate from their source, with some alterations and exclusions, they retain the evocative spirit that was instrumental in awarding Tagore the Nobel Prize for Literature. This paperback version, released by Rupa in 2002, invites readers to delve into the transformative essence of Tagore's poetic brilliance.
