Rabindranath Tagore was a highly talented multifaceted
person. Many people think of him only as a poet and a writer. But he was much more than
a person with Ideas and ability to express them in words. He was a man of action. He not
only expressed his ideas in words but actually developed and lived new ways of living.
He also spread his ideas about life and living in this way for the benefit of others. In
this process he created an educational setup called Shanti Niketan
based on practical activities that has now flourished in to a big
university.
His personal life as well as the activities of
Shanti Niketan included thins like composing music and singing,
staging dramas, painting, making handicrafts, and designing and wearing new kind of
clothes for greater comfort.
However he we go by the
international awareness, Tagore is best known for collection of poems called
Gitanjali, for which he received a Nobel Price in literature in
1913.
