Awarded the Noble Prize for Literature in 1913, Rabindranath Tagore
(1861-- 1941) is considered the most important poet of modern-day
India. He was also a distinguished author, educator, social reformer,
and philosopher. Today, Tagore along with Mahatma Gandhi is prized as
a foremost intellectual and spiritual advocate of India's liberation
from imperial rule.
This inspiring collection of Tagore's poetry represents his "simple
prayers of common life." Each of the seventy-seven prayers is an
eloquent affirmation of the divine in the face of both joy and sorrow.
Like the Psalms of David, they transcend time and speak directly to
the human heart.
The spirit of this collection may be best symbolized by a single
sentence by Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the renowned philosopher and
statesman who served as president of India: _"Rabindranath Tagore was
one of the few representatives of the universal person to whom the
future of the world belongs."_
