Rabindranath in the Self-Consciousness of Promothonath Bishi: A Form of Life Practice and Devotional Expression Mrinalkanti Murmu, Research Scholar, Dept. of Bengali, Raja Narendralal Khan Women’s College (Autonomous), West Bengal, India | ||
ABSTRACT | ||
The contribution of Promothnath Bishi to Bengali literature is remarkable. He was the first student admitted to Santiniketan by Rabindranath Tagore, and he excelled as a writer, critic, and academic. It was his father’s deep admiration for Tagore’s educational philosophy that led to his admission to Santiniketan. The environment of the institution and the close association with Tagore gradually sowed the seeds of literary creativity in young Promothnath, which later grew into a vast and flourishing intellectual legacy. Throughout his life, he remained profoundly influenced by Rabindranath Tagore. Being under the guidance of such a great poet helped him break free from the rigid boundaries of conventional education and develop a liberal, open, and elevated vision of learning. At the same time, he gained a clear understanding of what constitutes the true essence of a literary personality. From Tagore, he learned how the qualities of a poet, a human being, a landlord, and an educator could harmoniously shape one’s personality and conduct. For this reason, Promothnath carried Rabindranath within his thoughts and consciousness throughout his life, revering him as a guru seated on the golden throne of his heart. Consequently, references to Tagore recur at every stage of his life, reflections, practices, devotions, and literary creations. In this paper, an attempt has been made to highlight the deep and enduring influence of Rabindranath within Promothnath’s inner world. | ||
