Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) is considered the
most important poet of modern-day India. This inspiring collection of
Tagores poetry represents his simple prayers of common life. Each of
the seventy-seven prayers is an eloquent affirmation of the divine in
the face of both joy and sorrow. Like the Psalms of David, they
transcend time and speak directly to the human heart. Elizabeth A. Stewart (Santa Cruz, CA USA) writes: "This
collection of seventy-seven poems of the Nobel Laureate poet of India
is taken from seven sources of his poetry. The editor has skillfully
degenderized and introduced contemporary language where he deemed
appropriate. The beauty of Tagore's spirit and his eloquence will be
augmented for some by the editor's gifts. Long familiar with Tagore's
own translations of his poetry, I find in this collection extreme
satisfaction in accessing the presence of the poet in images of rare
beauty. This book is an important addition to the literature, providing
fresh acquaintance with a master poet."
