In the first part, Lover's Gift, the poet pleads to his beloved to walk in his garden and 'Pass by the fervid flowers that press themselves on your sight.' His beloved is also 'sweet to me as sleep is to tired limbs.' One comes across pining for the beloved as well as bountiful gifts. Moreover, the lover and beloved have the right to show abhiman (petulance) for each other.In Crossing, some of the poems possess a sense of religiosity and subtle feel of those in Gitanjali, the song offerings. 'You came to my door in the dawn and sang' makes you aesthetically feel the presence of the Almighty. And tired, the poet pleads, 'Pick up this life of mine from the dust.' The poet has hope when he says, 'I know that the flowers that fade in the dawn, / the streams that strayed in the desert, are / not altogether lost.'Here is a literary treat as Kaviguru takes you on an awakening endless journey of love, loss and spirituality.

Rabindranath Tagore, sometimes referred to as the Bard of Bengal, was a poet, composer, and artist active in the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. His poetry had a profound impact on Bengali literature¿so much so that in 1913 he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.Today Tagore is recognized for transforming Bengali art, moving it away from its classical forms by embracing the Bengal Renaissance. Though his artistic output spanned many disciplines, his most famous is perhaps Gitanjali, his collection of poems that he himself later translated to English. His impact on Indian and Bengali letters can be exemplified by the fact that two of his compositions were chosen as national anthems¿¿Jana Gana Manä for India, and ¿Amar Shonar Banglä for Bangladesh¿and that the Sri Lankan national anthem was inspired by his work.In these autobiographical sketches Tagore gives us windows into his childhood, his youth, and his blossoming as a writer and as a lyricist. He stresses that this is not an autobiography, but more like a palimpsest of memories: glimmers and shadows that illustrate his artistic development, not a strict record of his life.

Embark on a spiritual journey with Rabindranath Tagore's "Sadhana," a collection of profound essays that delve into the understanding of self-realization, inner growth, and spiritual enlightenment. As a seminal work by the Nobel laureate, "Sadhana" draws from Tagore's profound understanding of the Vedantic and Upanishadic teachings to offer insights into the essence of human existence."Sadhana," which translates to "spiritual practice," encapsulates Tagore's exploration of the journey of spiritual awakening and the individual's relationship with the universe. The book intricately weaves themes of love, humanity, and unity with the cosmos, advocating a sense of interconnectedness and oneness that transcends religious boundaries.With its thought-provoking discussions on concepts like the manifestation of the divine in everyday life, and the infinite within the finite, "Sadhana" invites readers to introspect, to explore their inner selves, and to aspire towards a higher state of consciousness. It proposes that true enlightenment and fulfillment come not from material possessions, but from understanding and embracing the infinite expanse of the cosmos within one's own soul."Sadhana" is more than just a book; it is a spiritual guide for those seeking to understand the profound depths of their existence and their purpose in the universe. It invites the reader to look beyond the constraints of their physical existence and embark on a path of spiritual enlightenment." Perhaps it is well for me to explain that the subject-matter of the papers published in this book has not been philosophically treated, nor has it been approached from the scholar's point of view. The writer has been brought up in a family where texts of the Upanishads are used in daily worship; and he has had before him the example of his father, who lived his long life in the closest communion with God, while not neglecting his duties to the world, or allowing his keen interest in all human affairs to suffer any abatement. So in these papers, it may be hoped, western readers will have an opportunity of coming into touch with the ancient spirit of India as revealed in our sacred texts and manifested in the life of today."
