Freedom is the soul of every country, community and civilisation. Born in 1861 Calcutta, India, the legendary writer and poetic philosopher, Rabindranath Tagore won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. He was the first non-European to receive such an honour. Tagore wrote in Bengali and English, experimenting various genres of literature. Tagore was a poet, novelist, short-story writer, essayist, playwright, educationist, spiritualist, lyricist, composer and singer. With an extraordinary repertoire, showcasing an incredible combination of talents, Tagore was way ahead his time. Tagore’s Gitanjali: An Anthology of Poems is a celebrated gift of labour to the whole of humanity. In his late sixties, Tagore became fascinated with the visual arts, creating 2,500 paintings and drawings before his death. In addition, his lyrical compositions were chosen by two nations as their national anthems: India’s ‘Jana Gana Mana’ and Bangladesh’s ‘Amar Shonar Bangla’. Sri Lanka’s national anthem, ‘Namo Namo Matha’ was both written and composed by Tagore. He did it at the request of his favourite Sri Lankan student at Santiniketan, Ananda Samarkun, who later translated the lyrics into Sinhala.

The night is nearly spent waiting for him in vain. I fear lest in the morning he suddenly come to my door when I have fallen asleep wearied out. Oh friends, leave the way open to him—forbid him not. If the sound of his steps does not wake me, do not try to rouse me, I pray. I wish not to be called from my sleep by the clamorous choir of birds, by the riot of wind at the festival of morning light. Let me sleep undisturbed even if my lord comes of a sudden to my door. Ah, my sleep, precious sleep, which only waits for his touch to vanish. Ah, my closed eyes that would open their lids to the light of his smile when he stands before me like a dream emerging from darkness of sleep. Let him appear before my sight as the first of all lights and all forms. The first thrill of joy to my awakened soul let it come from his glance. And let my return to myself be immediate return to him. I am here to sing thee songs. In this hall of thine I have a corner seat. In thy world I have no work to do; my useless life can only break out in tunes without a purpose. When the hour strikes for thy silent worship at the dark temple of midnight, command me, my master, to stand before thee to sing. When in the morning air the golden harp is tuned, honour me, commanding my presence. My desires are many and my cry is pitiful, but ever didst thou save me by hard refusals; and this strong mercy has been wrought into my life through and through. Day by day thou art making me worthy of the simple, great gi...
