Rabindranath tagore bengali death date

At Visva-Bharati University, founded by Tagore at Santiniketan in 1921, Vice-Chancellor Bidyut Chakraborty observed 'Baise Srabon', the death anniversary of the Bard, by praying on the campus in the company of select few faculty members, shunning the usual gathering. The occasion was observed with due solemnity, but the number of people attending was below 30, far less than pre-Covid times, a university official said. Tagore died at the age of 80 on August 7, 1941, according to the Gregorian calendar. But his death anniversary is observed on 'Baise Srabon' (22nd day in the month of Srabon) of the Bengali calendar. At Nimtala crematorium in the city, where the mortal remains of Tagore were consigned to flames in 1941 on this day, floral wreaths were placed at the memorial, sans any function. The Rabindra Bharati Society, a cultural organisation, hosted a programme 'Diner Seshe Ghumer Deshe' (The land of slumber at day's end), based on the lyrics of the bard's famous composition, on zoom where educationist Pabitra Sarkar and singers Swapna Ghosal, Sampa Kundu among others participated. "We could not hold it at Jorasanko due to the COVID-19 crisis. Hence we opted for the virtual mode like in the past year," an office-bearer said. Education minister Bratya Basu was slated to attend a function at the Bard's birthplace in Jorasanko in north Kolkata but could not attend it due to some other commitments. A floral tribute was paid to the Nobel laureate by the Rabindra Bharati Unive...

Anyone who becomes familiar with this large and flourishing tradition will be impressed by the power of Tagore’s presence in Bangladesh and in India. His poetry as well as his novels, short stories, and essays are very widely read, and the songs he composed reverberate around the eastern part of India and throughout Bangladesh. In contrast, in the rest of the world, especially in Europe and America, the excitement that Tagore’s writings created in the early years of the twentieth century has largely vanished. The enthusiasm with which his work was once greeted was quite remarkable. Gitanjali, a selection of his poetry for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, was published in English translation in London in March of that year, and had been reprinted ten times by November, when the award was announced. But he is not much read now in the West, and already by 1937, Graham Greene was able to say: “As for Rabindranath Tagore, I cannot believe t...

Rabindranath Tagore Quotes: Rabindranath Tagore was a Bengali polymath who used contextual modernism to reshape Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.” • “Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.” • “The greed of gain has no time or limit to its capaciousness. Its one object is to produce and consume. It has pity neither for beautiful nature nor for living human beings. It is ruthlessly ready without a moment's hesitation to crush beauty and life.” • "If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars." • "Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimat...

Rabindranath Tagore, a beacon of Bengali literature, was a great scholar, poet, novelist, musician, playwright and artist. Today, 7 August, marks the 81st death anniversary of the person who made the nation proud by becoming the first Indian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
