@Mrignayani Great Song!! This may be the favourite Rabindra Sangeet of All.... My favorite rabindra Sangeet are as no one Rabindra Sangeet is favourite to me.. The word of the songs of Rabindranath Tagore is eternally thrilling and enchanting. It brings forth a vast panorama of human life and experience encapsulating joy and sorrow, love and languishment, pleasure and pain, union and detachment besides a look beyond "Amar poran jaha chay tumi tai,,,,,tumi tai go" "Na chahile jare paowa jay" "Amar Rat Pohalo Sahod Prate... Banshi Banshi........." "Pran voriye Trisha horiye ...more aro aro aro dao " Hope to listen from you more..... Nabanita
Hi All, I want to share one of his poems.Moreover, he wrote poems and songs in Bengali.Translations of his work are quite rare. It is very tedious task to find good translations of his work. I have selected the following poems quite randomly, because I liked reading them over and over again. I knowe there are many poems written by him are good but I like Geetanjali the most. Geetanjali "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."
Hey Ladies, Nice Thread!! I am a music lover and I have put my kids also into music as I want to sing . Rabindra Sangeet is one of my favourites I am not a bengali though but love to hear the Rabindra Sangeet. I have a lot of Bengali friends out here in Pune. I listen to some Hindi Rabindrasangeet also..They seemed to be equally sonorous like the bengali ones. Can somebody share some links where Hindi Rabindra Sangeet can be downloaded or heard ? Thanks Shweta

Hi Nabanita, Though I'm not a Bengali, I have Bengali friends and so got introduced to the great master's compositions. Some of my favourites are " Anando dhara bohiche bhuboney......." and 'Ami chini go chini............ho go bideshini...." All the tunes are so soothing and flows so beautifully. warm regards PAULINA:wave
Hi Friends, Like Paulina I am also not a bengali but I have a love for that language,The bengali language itself is very sweet and I do listen to some of the hindi rabindrasangeet sung by Indrani Sen ,a popular bengali vocalist.All this I come to know from my bengali friends, My favorite Rabindrasangeet is in bengali it is " Chander Hashi Band bhengeche, uchehle pore" I am sorry to the bengali members if i am writing wrong lyrics.
