Tributes to Rabindranath Tagore…
Today is death anniversary of of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore ( 7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941), the greatest poet of our country . This post is a philatelic tribute to Gurudev the “ Pride of India “ !!
Rabindranath Tagore : Author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. In translation his poetry was viewed as spiritual and mercurial; his seemingly mesmeric personality, flowing hair, and other-worldly dress earned him a prophet-like reputation in the West. His "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. Tagore introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into Bengali literature, thereby freeing it from traditional models based on classical Sanskrit. He was highly influential in introducing the best of Indian culture to the West and vice versa, and he is generally regarded as the outstanding creative artist of modern India.
A Brahmin from Calcutta, Tagore wrote poetry as an eight-year-old. At age sixteen, he released his first substantial poems under the pseudonym Bhānusiṃha ("Sun Lion"), which were seized upon by literary authorities as long-lost classics. He graduated to his first short stories and dramas—and the aegis of his birth name—by 1877. As a humanist, universalist internationalist, and strident anti-nationalist he denounced the Raj and advocated independence from Britain. As an exponent of the Bengal Renaissance, he advanced a vast canon that comprised paintings, sketches and doodles, hundreds of texts, and some two thousand songs; his legacy endures also in the institution he founded, Visva-Bharati University.
Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic strictures. His novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics political and personal. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are his best-known works, and his verse, short stories, and novels were acclaimed—or panned—for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and unnatural contemplation. His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems: the Republic of India's Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh's Amar Shonar Bangla. The composer of Sri Lanka's national anthem: Sri Lanka Matha was a student of Tagore, and the song is inspired by Tagore's style.

REVIVING PHILATELY
( AT GRASS ROOT LEVEL )
C.R.Andhare and Naresh Agrawal talking to children
In Indian Philatelic scenario, there has been tremendous decline in birth and growth of new philatelists only because of less interest among the school children in stamp collection. The reason being pressure of studies, development in communication systems leading to intensive use of mobile phones and e-mails and also growth of private courier service. A strong need of introducing and inculcating the hobby of stamp collection among the school children is felt today as future of philately lies in these children only.
To move a step in this direction to take the children in to the world of stamps, Adharshila Vidya Mandir School at Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh organized a philatelic workshop on 06.05.2012 during its 15 days summer camp which saw various different creative activities. Mr. C.R. Andhare and Mr. Naresh Agrawal philatelists of international repute from Bilaspur introduced students of class II to class Xth. During this workshop students were introduced to the postal stamp, its feature and its importance as a collectable and educational item. They were taught how to collect, preserve, arrange and organize stamps. There were different thematic exhibits on display and PPt. presentation. The workshop was well attended and created interest amongst many of children. Stamps and covers were distributed amongst the children. Local print media also wrote high of this activity.
