Rabindranath Tagore's Birthday

There are very few Indians who haven’t heard the name of the great poet from Bengal, Rabindranath Tagore. He was born on the 7^th of May, 1861 and was the youngest of his thirteen siblings. Born in Jorasanko Mansion, he was lovingly called as “Rabi” by his family members. 

Rabindranath was later renamed Gurudev and was the first non-European to bag a Nobel Prize for his literary work ‘Gitanjali’. He was a key contributor in changing Bengal’s music and literature. Those who have met the bard say that he was always seen with his flowing white hair and beard. This look helped him earn the reputation of a prophet in his region though he was against the idea.

Rabindranath Tagore’s home is a library of books and magazines from across the globe. Due to the early demise of his mother, he was mostly raised by servants. His father used to travel a lot and was seldom at home. Rabindranath’s family can be said to be full of literary and artistic talents. His eldest brother, Dwijendranath, was a well-known poet and philosopher. Yet another brother, Jyotirindranath, was a renowned musician and playwright. Swarnakumari, his sister, was a novelist.

Later in his life, Rabindranath Tagore moved to Shantiniketan, where he made his ashram with a marble floored hall, meant for prayers. He named this hall ‘Mandir’. He also made a school in Shantiniketan amidst nature. Special significance was paid to being as close to the flora and fauna as possible. Most classes are still held outdoors so that the mind is free and thoughts flow naturally. 

Even till this day, teachers and students of the school perform several dance and drama routines based upon his works on his birth anniversary. His birthday is celebrated with much pomp and enthusiasm, not just in Shantiniketan but also across Bengal and other parts of India with a Bengali diaspora.

In the year 1915, Rabindranath Tagore was granted knighthood by the British Crown. However, after the Jalianwala Bagh massacre in the year 1919, he is said to have renounced his title. Throughout his life, Rabindranath Tagore has written numerous songs, essays, novels, dramas, and short stories. His short stories are very popular all across Bengal and his songs are still played in numerous radio stations and TV channels as well as in schools and colleges. 

His writings are generally popular due to their lyrical and rhythmic nature. To mark Tagore’s 150^th birthday, a special anthology named “Kalanukromik Rabindra Rachanabali” or the total body of his works was published. It contains all his writings, presented in eighty volumes. He has also composed a total of 2230 songs over his entire life time, and these compositions are known as Rabindra sangeet.

Every Rabindranath lover should visit Shantiniketan atleast once in his or her lifetime, especially during his birthday. The colorful ambience of this small town is sure to impress even a prosaic person and make him appreciate poems and songs. Holi is another occasion when the place comes to life and is a top draw for tourists across India and the world.

At Floralis, we wish Gurudev from the bottom of our hearts and hope he continues to inspire and motivate us to spread love and happiness.

Children's Day

II Children's Day - 14th November II

 

 

Children's day, in hindi known as "Bal Diwas", in India falls on November 14th every year and for good reason. Children's day in India is celebrated on Pandit Nehru's birthday as a day of fun and frolic, a celebration of childhood, children and Nehruji's love for them.

About Jawahar Lal Nehru On November14, 1889, a son was born to an eminent lawyer, Motilal Nehru and his wife Swaroop Rani at Allahabad. They named him Jawaharlal. He was a brilliant, kindhearted child who was greatly loved by all. His father wanted to give him the best education and hence sent him to England for his M.A. from Cambridge. The British ruled India at that time.When he returned to India, young Jawaharlal realized that he wanted to help the poor and the downtrodden. He took part in the Freedom Struggle of India and

became a follower of Mahatma Gandhi who had just returned from South Africa at that time. When India gained its independence, he became the first Prime Minister of free India.

He was a perfect blend of eastern philosophical values and western scientific thinking and encouraged technological progress. But he was also a man of letters and a great poet and wrote some famous works like, ‘Glimpses of World History’ and ‘Discovery of India’. His letters to his daughter, Indira, were also compiled into a book and reflects his philosophical outlook, his compassion and above all, his tender heart. 

 

 

The Birth of Chacha Nehru

Chacha Nehru as the children fondly referred to him, was fond of both children and roses. In fact he often compared the two, saying that children were like the buds in a garden. They should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they were the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow. He felt that children are the real strength of a country and the very foundation of society. He was the ‘beloved’ of all the children who gave him the endearing name of ‘Chacha Nehru’.

 

 

Celebrations

As a tribute to this great man and his love for the children, his birthday is celebrated all over India as ‘CHILDREN’S DAY’. Most schools have cultural programmes for the day, with the students managing it all. All over the country, various cultural, social, and even corporate, institutions conduct competitions for children. Children's Day is a day for children to engage in fun and frolic. Schools celebrate this day by organizing cultural programmes. Teachers of the school perform songs and dances for their students.
Therefore, Children's Day is special. It is a day set aside to remember Pandit Nehru and his love for children.
