|Introducing him briefly,Rabindranath Tagore   (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941), sobriquet Gurudev,was a Bengali poet, novelist, musician,painter and a   |
|playwright who reshaped Bengali literature and music. As author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he was the   |
|first non-European to win the Noble Prize for Literature. His poetry in translation was viewed as spiritual, and this together with his mesmerizing |
|persona gave him a prophet-like aura in the west but his "elegant prose and magical poetry" still remains largely unknown outside the confines of   |
|Bengal.                                                                                                                                             |
