Editor's Note: Sri Aurobindo spoke of Rabindranath Tagore as "a wayfarer towards the same goal as ours in his own way". In this issue exploring a variety of topics under the larger theme of 'Spirit and Forms of Indian Art', we feature some selections from Tagore's writings. These were published in the May 1961 issue of Mother India (Vol. XII, No. 4, pp. 40-43) -- 1961 being the centenary year of the Kobiguru. The writings included here were translated by Sanat K. Banerji and Nolini Kanta Gupta.

Editor's Note: Nispriha Sharma is the youngest author to join our authorsâ team. She is 11-years old and lives in New Jersey, USA. She loves science, storytelling, and the arts. In her own words, she is always "exploring new ideas whether it is through piano, poetry, or building cool experiments". Her first contribution to Renaissance journal is a beautiful poem titled Cherry Blossom Delight. This was inspired by a walk she took in Branch Brook Park, Newark, NJ on 13th April, 2025. |

Editor's Note: Sisirkumar Ghose writes in the current issue: ââŠart and beauty, as Indian culture and Sri Aurobindo see these things, cure us of the chaos and insignificance of our lives. They are our guarantee of meaning and satisfaction (rasena trptah). Angels of the upward way, they ease our ascent to awareness, or self-discovery, and ultimately bring us close to the bliss of pure Being, âthe one Beingâs sole immobile Blissâ (Sri Aurobindo,
Liberation). |
