Essays like The Poet’s Religion and The Creative Ideal reveal some of his fundamental tenets of art and aesthetics, of life and religion, and of the religion of the poet. The essays in Sadhana (1913) tell us of the ancient spirit of India, as revealed in our sacred texts and manifested in the life of today. Man consists of a lecture delivered in 1933 at Andhra University. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt speaks about the Supreme Man, who is an immediate object of the most intimate awareness and challenges man to strike after perfection. Personality (1917) is a more structured exposition of Tagore’s spiritual thoughts. In Nationalism in India (1917) he criticize the nation-state in both East and West and offers his vision of a society independent of it. Crisis in Civilisation (Sabhyatar Samkat) was the last public address delivered by Tagore on 14 April 1941. The essays incorporated from The religion of Man (1941) are an extensive and commanding exposition of Tagore’s understanding of the meaning and significance of religion in the cultural history of man. Greater India (1921) deals with the Swadeshi Movement in Bengal, one of the turbulent periods in Indian history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCREATIVE UNITY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Poet’s Religion\u003cbr\u003eThe Creative Ideal\u003cbr\u003eThe Religion of the Forest\u003cbr\u003eEast and West\u003cbr\u003eThe Modern Age\u003cbr\u003eThe Nation\u003cbr\u003eAn Eastern University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSADHANA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Relation of the Individual to the Universe\u003cbr\u003eThe Problem of Evil\u003cbr\u003eThe Problem of Self\u003cbr\u003eRealization in Love\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMAN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLecture II: Supreme Man\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePERSONALITY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is Art?\u003cbr\u003eThe World of Personality\u003cbr\u003eWoman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNATIONALISM\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNationalism in India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCRISIS IN CIVILISATION \u0026amp; OTHER ESSAYS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrisis in Civilisation\u003cbr\u003eCivilisation and Progress\u003cbr\u003eThe Religion of an Artist\u003cbr\u003eThe Principle of Literature\u003cbr\u003eMessage to the Parliament of Religions\u003cbr\u003eThe Philosophy of Leisure\u003cbr\u003eIdeals of Education\u003cbr\u003eThe Educational Mission of the Visva-Bharati \u003cbr\u003eRace Conflict\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE RELIGION OF MAN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMan’s Universe\u003cbr\u003eThe Creative Spirit\u003cbr\u003eSpiritual Union\u003cbr\u003eThe Vision\u003cbr\u003eThe Music Maker\u003cbr\u003eThe Artist\u003cbr\u003eThe Meeting\u003cbr\u003eThe Baul Singers of Bengal\u003cbr\u003eNight and Morning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGREATER INDIA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEast and West in Greater India\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Rabindranath Tagore \/ Rupa \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776283357353,"sku":"12843","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/12843_6f31a6c9-b05b-4b5e-bafd-267f730e5f59.jpg?v=1625524414"},{"product_id":"1597-devi-tales-of-the-goddess-in-our-time","title":"Devi - Tales of the Goddess in Our Time","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Mrinal Pande\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Penguin\u003cbr\u003eYear: 1996\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 184\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 014026549X\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA woman empowered is the Goddess incarnate .Writer and Journalist Mrinal Pande sees in strong passionate women who defy the strictures of a male-dominated world, shades of the Goddess.
