	Rabindranath Tagore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tagore was born in Jorasanko, Kolkata ( Bangla :à¦•à¦²à¦•à¦¾à¦¤à¦¾), the son of Debendranath Tagore and Sarada devi.
		Tagore's prose deals with social, political, educational issues and his vision of the universal brotherhood of man. His poetry and songs, apart from their deep spirituality and devotion, often express a celebration of nature and life.
		Tagore's richest legacy for today's polarized world is perhaps his eloquent denunciation of Nationalism, which he perceived, in the shadows of our last great war, as one of the largest threats to humanity.

		Rabindranath Tagore ( May 6, 1861 - August 7, 1941) was the son of Debendranath Tagore, the leader of one of two Brahmo Samaj splinter groups.

	The nature and authority of scripture: Implication for Hindu-Christian Dialogue
		Perhaps the main reason for Tagore's rejection of the doctrine of infallibility was his refusal to accept passages in the Upanisads affirming the identity of atman and brahman.
		Tagore's successor to the leadership of the Brahmo Samaj, the charismatic Keshub Chandra Sen (1838-1884), rejoiced in the rejection of Vedic infallibility.
		Sen went much further than Tagore in his denunciation of what he regarded to be doctrine and dogma and his unfavorable comparison of these with "fire of inspiration." Doctrine and dogma which relate to intellectual cognition, reasoning and logical thought were cold and lifeless and had nothing to do with the attainment of salvation.

		His grandfather Dwarkanath Tagore was one of the first Hindus to visit England; the poet's father Debendranath Tagore was active in the Brahmo Samjai, a Hindu nationalist movement which stressed the revival of Indian literature and folklore, at the same time that it believed in promoting cross-cultural ties between East and West.
		From his boyhood, Tagore wrote verse--some 7000 lines by the time he was seventeen--inspired by his travels throughout India with his father and influenced by the ancient Bengali Vaishnava poets, as well as by Shakespeare, Shelley, Keats, and the English Romantics.
		The outbreak of the Boer War and the accompanying unrest in the British Empire in 1898-1905 increased Tagore's preoccupation with politics and strengthened his vision of the poet as a moral presence.
