This Volumes was an offering to the memory of Rabindranath Tagore on the occasion of the Centenary of his birth. If the best homage to a great man is to be paid through an understanding of the significance of his life and work, this publication should help inspire such a homage of understanding. This reprint of the book, undertaken to mark the 125th birth anniversary of the poet, will bring once again to the collective consciousness of a new generation of men and women the memory of a greatness which was amazing in its versatility and universal in its integrated vision of life. Rabindranath has not only been a one-man synthesis of the old and the new, the ancient and the modern, but he has also been, because of his extra-ordinary catholicity of mind, a leading light to the world struggling to be reborn into sanity. Great poets, it is said, are for ever our contemporaries and some of the essays in this volume should hopefully drive home the relevance of Rabindranath and all that he stood for, as a corrective to our age of cynic despair.

The Volume contains valuable studies on the many aspects of Tagore's personality and genius contributed by eminent writers and scholars from many parts of the world. There are, besides, a full and comprehensive chronicle of the poet's life, from year to year, and a bibliography of his publications in Bengali and English. Reproductions in colour of some famous portraits of the poet by distinguished artists add to the value of this publication which is as much a tribute to the genius of Tagore as a guide to its comprehension.

This Volume was planned and edited with great care under the guidance of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, assisted by an Editorial Board of distinguished scholars.
