Gitanjali – Song Offerings Spiritual Poems of Rabindranath Tagore

Abstract

In the world of Indian poets, it goes without saying that Rabindranath Tagore is undoubtedly the most remarkable and well-known figure. As a poet, Tagore appears to have been influenced by ancient Indian works such as the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Puranas, as well as mythological texts like as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The fact that he took so much from these revered and renowned books is understandable, and the kind of cosmic vision, spiritual profundity, and honest search for truth that we acquire from them may very well be associated with Tagore's poetry. Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali is a collection of 103 English poetry written in the style of Shakespeare. Gitanjali, which was originally composed in Bengali, literally translates as "prayer offering of song." Gitanjali is a text that is both inviting and engaging in a variety of ways. It is a collection of Tagore's musings on the nature of the relationship between people and the Divine. Each poem communicates in a unique way how God is at the centre of the poet's inspiration, which is at the heart of the divinity-devotee relationship at the heart of these songs. The poet's ultimate purpose is to merge with the Lord, for the Lord has given him the gift of life as well as all else he possesses. It was his desire to sing in his majesty and to keep himself pure for the Lord. The purpose of this research paper is to provide an explanation of the songs offered in Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali poetry.
