Gitanjali | Song Offerings | Rabindranath Tagore

Gitanjali | Song Offerings is the masterpiece of Rabindranath Tagore and the work that gave him the Nobel Prize. This is the English interpretation, Tagore wrote in Bengali and meant English himself. The book comprises of 103 ballads established in the antiquated otherworldly intelligence of India. The greater part of the sonnets found in Gitanjali are supplications composed when Rabindranath Tagore experienced troublesome occasions, he lost the two his dad, spouse, a girl and a child in a brief span. This torment and profound commitment to God are caught in the moving composition refrains of Gitanjali, which Tagore devoted as "Tune Offerings". One of the most refered to refrains is Where the brain is without dread:
Where the brain is without dread
what's more, the head is held high;
Where information is free;
Where the world has not been separated into parts by thin local dividers;
Where words turn out from the profundity of truth;
Where enthusiastic endeavoring extends its arms towards flawlessness;
Where the unmistakable stream of reason has not lost its way into the horrid desert sand of dead propensity;
Where the brain is driven forward by thee into regularly extending idea and activity
Into that paradise of opportunity, my Father, let my nation conscious.
Rabindranath Tagore
