Gitanjali (Bengali: গীতাঞ্জলি) is a collection of poems by the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. The original Bengali collection of 157 poems was published on August 14, 1910. The English Gitanjali or Song Offerings is a collection of 103 English poems of Tagore's own English translations of his Bengali poems first published in November 1912 by the India Society of London. It contained translations of 53 poems from the original Bengali Gitanjali, as well as 50 other poems which were from his drama Achalayatan and eight other books of poetry - mainly Gitimalya (17 poems), Naivedya (15 poems) and Kheya (11 poems). The translations were often radical, leaving out or altering large chunks of the poem and in one instance fusing two separate poems (song 95, which unifies songs 89,90 of Naivedya). The translations were undertaken prior to a visit to England in 1912, where the poems were extremely well received. In 1913, Tagore became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize for Literature

Handsome, brilliant in studies, an image of contained strength, a lover of music and poetry, yet deep inside Narendra the seed of "search" had begun to sprout at an early age. The early onset was in his hands to empower tomorrows youth and in the quest do so he envisioned an India blooming and beaming as a superpower. In our grand culture, they conceived of life in four stage-preliminary stages, development stage, flowering or blossoming stage and the culminating fruitful stage.
