Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Dear Milena, Here is a poem written By Sri Rabindranath about Thakur, " Diverse courses of worship from varied springs of fulfillment have mingled in your meditation. The manifold revelation of the joy of the Infinite has given form to a shrine of unity in your life where from far and near arrive salutations to which I join my own. " Though this one is specifically written by him for Thakur, but whenever I sing any of Tagore's spiritual songs I feel like they were all meant for Thakur, Maa or Swamiji. I found out from various articles and books, that Tagore met with Thakur only once but they never spoke with each other. Sri Rabindranath had a different view about Thakur's principles but later acknowledged Thakur's Greatness and wrote the above poem. Swamiji sang some of the songs of Tagore to Sri Ramakrishna. I will appreciate if anybody in the group have some more knowledge about the meetings of Sri Ramakrishna and Sri Rabindranath. Thank you Milena for the question. I had this question myself.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Dear Sujata,I read some where, may be in 'God lived with them' by Chetanananda that Thakurexpressed his desire to meet Devendranath Tagore, father of Rabindranath Tagore and Sri Ramakrishna went to the house of Devendranath Tagore and met him. According to this book Rabindranath Tagore is a small boy When Sri Ramakrishna went to his house. However he spoke to Devendranath Tagore and expressed satisfaction on Sr TagoreIn His Grace,Chandru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi Sujata, As I have felt the same, I asked this question. In the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, in one of the last chapters it is mentioned a Rabindra /I have been thinking of him as R. Tagore/ who was very upset and wanted to renounce the world. M. says in the Gospel that that Rabindra met Sri Ramakrishna who said to him that his time was not yet come. M. says Sri Ramakrishna cherished for him deep affection.

According to this book Rabindranath Tagore is a small boy When Sri Ramakrishna went to his house. However he spoke to Devendranath Tagore and expressed satisfaction on Sr Tagore Namaste, There are several references to Devendranath and Sri Ramakrishna in the Gospel (please look in the Index for page nos.). It would appear Sri R. admired D.'s scholarship and philanthropy but did not recognise any 'renunciation' in him. [There is an incident where D. told Mathur Babu not to bring Sri R. to a festival, because the latter could not promise to keep his upper garment in place at all times!!] Judging from the history of Brahmo Samaj which split up around 1868 into Adi (led by D.) and Sadharana Samaj (led by Keshab Chandra Sen) and subsequently KCS's total surrender to Sri R., there was no further meeting between D. and Sri R. In fact when KCS passed away in 1879, Sri R. said 'I have lost my right arm'. Ravindranath was born in 1861, so it is unlikely he had occasion to meet Sri R. Sw. Vivekananda (b. 1863) was a contemporary of Ravindranath, and would certainly have mentioned him at some point in time. Swamiji's meetings intensified from 1881-till Sri R.'s samadhi in 1886.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Dear All, I remember seeing some references of R. Tagore in " Letters of Sister Nivedita " . Niveditaji admired Tagore but Swamiji wasn't very happy with that. I even remember reading that he forbade her to go near the Tagore family and made certain negative remarks. I'll try to find that and post it here.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hello Milena, The Rabindra is not Rabindranath Tagore. Some other Rabnidra.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Namaste, This Rabindra does not appear to be the same as R. Tagore.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 > Ramakrishna , " H.S.Chandraseckariah " <hschandru2000@> wrote: Here is an excerpt from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna May 2, 1883 About five o'clock in the afternoon Sri Ramakrishna arrived at the temple of the Brahmo Samaj in Nandanbagan, accompanied by M., Rakhal, and a few other devotees. At first the Master sat in the drawing-room on the ground floor, where the Brahmo devotees gradually assembled. Rabindranath Tagore and a few other members of the Tagore family were present on this occasion. ..........The hosts were so engrossed with the other invited guests that they forgot to pay any attention to Sri Ramakrishna......The Master, with Rakhal and the others, followed the crowd to the second floor. No room could be found for him inside the hall. Finally, with great difficulty, a place was found tor him in a dusty corner. A brahmin woman served some curry, but Sri Ramakrishna could not eat it. He ate luchi with salt and took some sweets. The entire chapter is available at: http://www.ramakrishnavivekananda.info/gospel/volume_1/10_brahmo_devotees_ii.htm Going by Rabindranath's comments on Swami Vivekananda in later years, the former probably chaged his mind.
