Gitanjali A Manifestation of Tagore's Devotion to God and Sense of Humanity

Chapter One

Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Rabindranath Tagore is an Indian poet from the erstwhile Bengal who won the Noble Prize for Literature for his anthology of poems, Gitanjali. The work has been praised by the likes of W. B. Yeats and Ezra Pound and gave a strong message of love, freedom and spirituality to its readers, thereby garnering universal appeal. Gitanjali is a pilgrimage in the search of the one Divine being. Tagore’s religion is not compartmentalized; rather it is deep rooted in the love for humanity. For him, love for his brethren is a pre-requisite in order to attain heavenly graces. Therefore, the thread of spiritual humanism runs through Gitanjali. This paper starts on an elucidation of the fundamental strand of spiritual humanism: the presence of the Infinite in the Finite. It then proceeds to depict how Tagore criticized blind worship of deities and sacred spaces, whereby they should have loved their brethren, instead. It also underscores the hollowness of rituals, material possessions and evil vices which act as an impediment between the Divine and the human being. It rounds up by highlighting the transcendentalism in Tagore’s spiritual humanism and the need for charity.
