O Worker of the universe! Let the irresistible
current of Your universal energy come like the
impetuous south wind of spring; let it come
rushing over the vast field of human life. Let our
newly awakened powers cry out for unlimited
fulfillment in leaf and flower and fruit. -Tagore
Tagore is a Noble Laureate on Bengali Literature (for Gitanjali -Song Offerings). As a prophet of trans-cultural flow, his works are universal in dynamic harmony, and his poetry is the transcendence of power.
His novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays speak to topics personal and universal. Tagore's works are acclaimed for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and unnatural contemplation. His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems: India's Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh's Amar Shonar Bangla.
We are suggesting that a short strip of Danforth Road be renamed as Tagore Road because a large number of the Bengali community that reside beside this road strip.
