Rabindra Nath Tagore: Diverse Dimensions (Hardbound - 1990)

To study Rabindranath Tagore is to be christened with the excellence of inwardness. An ardent apostle of the endless excellence of man, Tagore is more aware of emphasizing the inner potentialities in man than in mere exercise of informatics in the name of education—a perilous parrott training, indeed!

The mystico-aesthetic poignance of perfection in Tagore’s Song Offerings and the beyonding of consciousness through partnership with Beauty might direct towards thrilling avenues of creative appreciation.

Tagore’s poetic vision in Convalescences (Arogya) with wonderful imageries, poignant symbolism and mystic vision, and the world of his folk songs, a world of maner manusk beckoning us to sing with an ektara are enchanting dimensions in Tagorean criticism.

The fusion of education and society and the concept of man lost in the ukase of modernity might be re-shuffled in the Tagorean viewpoints of man par excellence.

A comparative Study of Rabindranath Tagore and Sri Aurobindo as mystic visionaries might invite esteemed readers to muse in the marvels of mystic beyondings.

Evot now and encouraging as Tagore is to the Global Man anywhere and everywhere, Rabindranath Tagore: Diverse Dimensions might open out significant avenues in Tagoreana.
