Indoindians Weekly Newsletter: Remembering Rabindranath Tagore
Namaste Friends,
May 7th celebrates Rabindranath Tagoreβs birthday. In July 1927, at a send-off to his journey to Singapore, Malaya, Java, Borneo, Sumatra and Indonesia on a three and a half month Southeast Asian tour, Tagore said that he was going on a pilgrimage to India beyond its modern political boundaries.
One of the poems from this trip is βSagarikaβ or originally βBaliβ wherein Tagore implores in his travels to Indonesia.
I come as your guest, I said βIn your woods by the sea where the south wind blows. My veena is all I have with me. Look at me; see if you recognize meβ
