Mystic Songs of Tagore
Product Description
From the Jacket

This is a collection of one hundred lyrics of Tagore - freely translated in full rhyme and keeping intact the Poet’s original metrical pattern as far as possible - from his songs’ onmibus Geeta Bitan, trilingual in Bengali, Hindi and English scripts. The lyrics are intensely touched by mysticism and devotion. God here is onmipresent and omnipotent by the Poet’s conviction, yet omniscient only in his wonderment. There are seldom prayers for succour and lucre, but sharing of luminous thoughts on existential weal and woe, solace and peace, with little allusion to physical qualities of created beings. In the initial stage, the lord is viewed as the ‘king of kings’, but later on, God is perceived as intimate and keen to come to His devotee. At the end of life, the divinity is awaited as the formless and as infinitely companionable, providing freedom and limitless bliss.
