Rabindranath Tagore and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi: Sitting side by side

Rabindranath Tagore's very own, Gitanjali, and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's effortless but truly ingenious planning in the leading towards the independence of India made both of them marked philanthropists of the great Peninsula. 

Geetanjali (or, Gitanjali) was first published in Bengali, on the 14th of August, 1910

Gitanjali
(By Rabindranath Tagore)

‘Gitanjali’ means 'the offering of melody or poetry.' It is usually melody which is introduced through series of symbolic verses: these vary from verse to verse and may reside fully on themes that are attached to nature, human behaviour, and the various phases undergone by man in his lifetime.

Gitanjali's poetic epic with its splendid lyrics at the summit of the themes taken up by Rabindranath Tagore expanded Hindustani literature to its very utmost limits with many insightful briefings that were notably about: the beauty and the fragility of nature, human beings' sensitivity to causes and actions, and the beauty and marvels of life. Literary written crafts by Rabindranath Tagore were namely: The Home and The World (published in 1916), Shesher Kabita (or, Farewell Song—published in 1929), Gitanjali (or, Song Offerings—published in 1910), Chokher Bali (published on the 5^th of April, 1903), The Religion of Man (1931), My Reminiscences (1912), The Cycle of Spring (1917), Fruit Gathering (1916), The Hungry Stones and other stories (1916), The Crescent Moon (1903), and Sadhana: The Realization of life (1915).
