About the Book:
RABINDRANATH TAGORE, a poet, playwright, and novelist, was one of the towering cultural figures of modern India, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. Through his multi-faceted activities, Tagore has become for the world the voice of India’s spiritual heritage. Of his many works, the most enduringly popular has been Gitanjali, or Song Offerings, due to the honesty with which these verses articulate the poet’s personal, and humanity’s eternal, spiritual quest. Although steeped in Hindu roots, they have the capability of bringing together compassionate, seeking minds of all faiths. Certainly they are worth reading and rereading in these times of troubling religious strife.
