Rabindranath tagore death date in bengali

Commemorating deaths of great men and women is not a regular Bengali social practice. There is, however, one exception; the death of Rabindranath Tagore on August 7, 1941, or what in the Bengali calendar was Baishe Srabon. Rabindranath complained of several physical ailments ever since he was in his fifties. Some of these affected his health seriously as he grew old. From September 1940 while he was on a trip to Kalimpong, his condition deteriorated and he needed medical intervention. It was detected that he was suffering from complications arising out of an enlarged prostrate. In July 1941, Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy, Dr Lalitmohan Banerjee and Dr Indubhushan Bose — the best surgeons in Calcutta — took the decision that a surgery was necessary to save the poet. Consequently, Rabindranath was taken to his residence in Jorasanko where Dr Lalitmohan Banerjee conducted the surgery on July 30. It was felt that Rabindranath was near his end. Regular medical bulletins were published in major English and Bengali dailies of the times, and were followed anxiously by the people. Finally, on Baishe Srabon, when news of his passing away — confirmed by the doctors to have occurred at 12.13pm — reached them, a massive crowd of mourners went into a frenzy, almost as if it had suppressed an overwhelming grief while waiting for the moment. Four months later, his son Rathindranath Tagore remembered this eruption of collective mourning as an expression of a collective neurosis: ‘The funeral itsel...

Stray Birds, Rabindranath Tagore, 1916 Stray Birds By Rabindranath Tagore [ translated from Bengali to English by the author] New York: The Macmillan Company, 1916 [ Frontispiece in color by Willy Pogány] To T. HARA of Yokohama 1 STRAY birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh. 2 O TROUPE of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words. 3 THE world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal. 4 IT is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom. 5 THE mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away. 6 IF you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. 7 THE sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness? 8 HER wistful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night. 9 ONCE we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other. 10 SORROW is hushed into peace in my heart like the evening among the silent trees. 11 SOME unseen fingers, like idle breeze, are playing upon my heart the music of the ripples. 12 "WHAT language is thine, O sea?" "The language of eternal question." "What language is thy answer, O sky? "The language of eternal silence." 13 LISTEN, my heart, to the whispers of the world with which it makes love to you. 14 THE...

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.

“I know not who paints the pictures on memory’s canvas; but whoever he may be, what he is painting are pictures; by which I mean that he is not there with his brush simply to make a faithful copy of all that is happening. He takes in and leaves out according to his taste. He makes many a big thing small and small thing big. He has no compunction in putting into the background that which was to the fore, or bringing to the front that which was behind. In short, he is painting pictures, and not writing history.” These lines are from ‘Jiban Smriti’ (My Reminiscences), Rabindranath Tagore’s autobiography, which he wrote when he was only 50 years old. Tagore, who was also known as ‘Gurudev,’ was born on 7 May 1861 in Jorasanko Thakur Bari, the ancestral home of the Tagore’s, in Kolkata, which was then known as Calcutta and was the capital of British India. As a child, he was left in the care of cooks and maids, except on Sunday mornings when his mother would make him take a bath with the homemade fairness scrubs. Even though he grew up in a large family, alongside his siblings and many cousins, he would spend most of his time alone, which made him a loner and an introvert. However, this gave his mind a fair chance to fly the wings of his imagination. This also led him to notice the minute details of nature which inspired him to turn to poetry. As he recalls his first poem was— “Brishti Pode, Paata node..” (The rain patters, the leaf quivers) His first step at Shanti Niketan In ...
