Tagore Philosophy-Education-Culture-Tradition through Rabindra Sangeet

Gurudev, who envisioned an education system aimed at promoting international cooperation & creating global citizens, was truly a global icon. He was somebody ahead of his time who dedicated his life to universal humanism. As a promoter of intercultural dialogue, Tagore encouraged mutual understanding and cultural exchange between people with drawing the necessity to build bridges between different cultures of different places all over the world. For Tagore, religion was an ideal. His 'Visva Bharati' famous as World University stood for his nobility of soul. His thoughts, ideals, morals, culture along with philosophy were expressed easily through his own created Bengali songs, known as Rabindra Sangit; which has no boundary of joy to feel and to express indeed from each aspect of life for everybody. The most central theme in Tagore's philosophy is the human being; their potential and the question of how this potential can be reached. Experiencing the spiritual world; religion as the right centre of activities of one's life; when united with the thought and truth, forms the keynote of Tagore's great philosophy. Neither did he compose his songs impelled by any worldly ambition, lured by the possibility of name & fame. His songs welled up out of an inmost feeling of joy, impelled solely by an inherent impulse to sing. It is therefore that his songs bear the mark of a creation. The educational efforts and the implementation techniques of Gurudev were revolutionary in many areas. He was one of the first in India to fight for establishing a humanitarian educational system that was in touch with the environment and aimed at overall development of the personality of a learner.
