Description
Gitanjali written in Bengali and translated into many languages is a collection of songs to be sung in fine tunes. Bengali is the daughter of Sanskrit and Gitanjali has been translated into Sanskrit by many poets One of them is Prof. N Gopala Pillai, a renowned Sanskrit scholar and writer from Kerala, whose translation was published in 1959.
This book carries a new Sanskrit translation of Gitanjali by Ramakrishna Warrier, a traditional Sanskrit scholar . This translation stands in good stead for his tiresome spirit to enrich the Sanskrit language. Compared to Prof Pillai's translation, Warrier's is closer to the original Bengali.
