Farewell My Friends - Rabindranath Tagore ( 1861 - 1941)
Farewell My Friends
It was beautiful
As long as it lasted
The journey of my life.
I have no regrets
Whatsoever said
The pain I’ll leave behind.
Those dear hearts
Who love and care...
And the strings pulling
At the heart and soul...
The strong arms
That held me up
When my own strength
Let me down.
At the turning of my life
I came across
Good friends,
Friends who stood by me
Even when time raced me by.
Farewell, farewell My friends
I smile and
Bid you goodbye.
No, shed no tears
For I need them not
All I need is your smile.
If you feel sad
Do think of me
For that’s what I’ll like
When you live in the hearts
Of those you love
Remember then
You never die.
For eons I longed for God,
I yearned to know him.
That's why he has come to me now,
deep emerald Lord of my breath.
----Rabindranath Tagore

These little thoughts are the rustle of leaves: they have their whisper of joy in my mind.
(Rabindranath Tagore)
“YOU are the big drop of dew under the lotus leaf,
I am the smaller one on its upper side,'
said the dewdrop to the lake.”
― Rabindranath Tagore
Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure, this frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life.
This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new. At the immortal touch of thy hands, my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable. thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine. Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still, there is room to fill.

storm clouds come and go
be patient
as the storms roll by
watch for color to brush the sky
and rest assured
tomorrow will bring sunshine

Description from Uttarayan Cultural Association, Delhi:
Sanjoy Sarkar, better known as Babla, hardly need introduction when it comes to promoting Rabindra Sangeet in an around Delhi. A versatile performer and a meticulous organizer of a varity of thematic events, functions and other programs revolving around enlarging the cultural Rabindra philosophy, he is also endeared as a teacher of substance in this area.
Having born into a family where music, Rabindra Sangeet in particular, was worshiped as a ritual, it was natural for Sanjoy to take to singing. His interest was initially steered by his mother Shrimati Protima Sarkar, and later influenced by Shri Shubho Guha Thakurta and Shrimati Manjula Guha Thakurta of “Dakshinee”. After acquiring his professional degree in Engineering from Jadavpur Engineering College, he went on to pursue his formal music training from “Dakshinee” itself.
Sanjoy came to Delhi in 1975 in pursuit of his professional career. His singing talent too was readily acknowledged. Together with some like-minded friends, he started organizing a verity of musical programs and functions. His passion for performing arts resulted in the formation of now famous “Uttarayan”. Its first endeavor “Phalguni” was a commendable success. Since then, Sanjoy, under the expert guidance of Shri Ashish Mukherjee spearheaded many well-acclaimed productions like “Balmiki Pratibha”, “Kshudito Pashan”, “Shrabone Gatha”, “Chandalika”, “Jonmodin ashey barey barey”, “Tobu mone rekho,” and many more in addition to the “Jabi Smaran” led by him every year to celebrate Tagore’s birthday to the delight of his audiences.
The CD”Amar Swaponocharini” released by P & M Records on the rendition of Sanjoy Sarkar’s melodious voice in 2006, further lent grace to his vast list of achievements.
Sanjoy has been schooling talents in the field of Rabindra Sangeet since 1993 had affiliation by Dakshinee, Kolkata to conduct its own Diploma course in Delhi for award of Diploma to deserving students in Rabindra Sangee. He continues to hold regulate training classes at various locations of Delhi.
In commemoration of Tagor’s 150th Birth Anniversary, Sanjoy, on behalf of Uttarayan, organized a good number of exclusive and innovative solo performances, in response to invitation from ICCR, Ministry of Culture, TCGS. To name a few of his undertakings. “Tota Kahini (by the children) . “Gitanjali” (to be staged in Kalamandir as part of Dakshinee invite). “Teen Sandhya” (theatre based on Tagore’s writing), “music Conference “ (inviting Tagore-talents all over India).
Uttaryan, today, founded in Delhi years back to promote Rabindra Sangeet, has now blossomed into a grown tree vast enough to shelter both established and aspiring fresh talents. Feeling nostalgic about the achievement of this great order, Sanjoy is all the more enthused to making an impacting advance further in this direction.

A bronze bust of India's Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was inaugurated in the Literary Garden of prestigious Katholieke Universiteit (KU) Leuven in Belgium on his birthday May 7, 2015. Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, welcomed the KU Leuven's gesture of honoring Tagore; who besides being the first non-European to receive Nobel Prize in literature, also composed the national anthems of India and Bangladesh, authored Gitanjali and established India's Visva Bharati University.
Calling it a step in the positive direction, Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, urged other European universities to honor the intellectuals of East, thus bridging the East-West gap, which was the need of the hour.
Founded in 1425 by Pope Martin V, Belgium's largest and renowned research-intensive university KU Leuven with a mission of "providing high-quality interdisciplinary research and education with a Catholic signature" has over 41,000 students. Rik Torfs is the Rector of this female-majority university.

"You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
Don't let yourself indulge in vain wishes."
- Rabindranath Tagore
Thou art the sky and thou art the nest as well.
O thou beautiful, there in the nest is thy love that encloses the soul with colours and sounds and odours.
There comes the morning with the golden basket in her right hand bearing the wreath of beauty, silently to crown the earth.
And there comes the evening over the lonely meadows deserted by herds, through trackless paths, carrying cool draughts of peace in her golden pitcher from the western ocean of rest.
But there, where spreads the infinite sky for the soul to take her flight in, reigns the stainless white radiance. There is no day nor night, nor form nor colour, and never, never a word. (poem By : RabindranathTagore)
