BHARATTIRTHA [THE INDIAN PILGRIMAGE]: a thematic analysis

“As the mission of the rose lies in the unfoldment of the petals which implies distinctness,so the rose of humanity is perfect only when the diverse races and nations have evolved their perfect disinct characteristics but all attached to the stem of humanities by the bond of love.” In search of spiritual commonwealth:Tagore.
In the poem Bharattirtha ,Tagore envisioned an India imbued with the noblest of her ideals:that of tolerance,acceptance,exchange.The poem depics the soul of both Indian philosophy,culture, tradition ,The poem is the string of garland around which the flowers of poesy is imitated and established successfully.
The poet hails motherland as the land of great births .According to him, the land is so pious and honourable to be worshipped whole heartedly.India is the land which welcomes every individual human race,tribe with same warmth of heart.Tagore’s words echo the same as saint Tulsidas viewed that the Indian culture is the garland of various flowers of distinctive cultures.It is a unique quality of mother India that she never closed her door over any one, enduring immense pain. -”Nobody will go empty handed from the sea shore .”
Tgore calls for universal brotherhood and spiritual awakening from bondage,tyranny .Until and unless the soul is awakened ,it cannot resist attacks on its culture.We know that tagore was a believer in an interactive,dialogic world ,given to a deep sense of sympathy,generosity and mutuality , and in which nations wouldnot be parochial ,xenophobiac and cemtripetal but poised towards a morally ,spiritually enlightened community of nations through the espousal of centrifugal outlook,multilateral imagination ,principle of universality.This belief is got embodied in the beautiful lyric Bharattirtha.
