A Small Tribute to Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, on the even of his 150th. Birthday!


Have you read, “Mayhem of the Miserables!” available @ http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52075


Of all Gurudev’s Poems, I like this poem the most, which was part of my Class Syllabus and I still remember it:



Excerpts from "GITANJALI" by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore:



Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;



Where knowledge is free;



Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;



Where words come out from the depth of truth;



Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;



Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;



Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action---



Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
