Podcasts about Rabindranath Tagore

The headline simply says: ‘All I have left is a burnt bag.' These are the words of a parent in a recent Sky News investigation. The report has identified the faces of most of the children and teachers who were killed in Iran when a US missile struck a primary school in Minab at the start of the US-Israel war in Iran. At the time, the world reacted with shock, leaders made statements, but then the cameras moved on, and another tragedy replaced the last. That these children never returned home was a reality lost in the politics of war. As we hopefully reach an agreement to end the conflict this week, the photos of these school children are a poignant reminder that while deaths are reported as numbers in the news headlines, behind every face is a name, behind every name is a family and behind every family is a world that changed forever when that child was killed. Whether it's news of a school shooting in America, children killed in war and conflict or the thousands dying from the slow tragedy of famine, I sometimes wonder whether too often children's deaths have become headlines we just ignore or scroll past – they are over there, far away, someone else's problem. Because we live in a time where tragedy can appear on our screens, compete for attention, and disappear within hours. But I think that if religious faith means anything it demands that we ask ourselves what happens to our own humanity when another person's suffering no longer moves us. Faith shouldn't make us complacent; it should make us care. If as Islamic thought tells us children are an amanah, a trust from God, the moral weight of this trust is that it can be broken not only by violence but also by silence. As adults, we don't own their future but we are responsible for protecting it. Seeing children as evidence of hope, the Indian poet and writer Rabindranath Tagore once said: ‘Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of humanity.' Perhaps that's the hope we can all hold onto, that however terrible war is, we don't reduce or dismiss the deaths of children to collateral damage. Good journalism can't explain everything but it can refuse to let everything be forgotten. And yes, at a time when so much of the news media is contested, this story shows us that the world depends on journalists to turn distance into attention and hopefully attention, at its best, into conscience.

David Abiker reçoit Philippe Chalmin, le fondateur du célèbre rapport Cyclope qui fête ses 40 ans cette année. Philippe Chalmin, véritable référence dans le domaine des matières premières et de l'économie mondiale, lève le voile sur les coulisses des marchés internationaux.Alors que le rapport Cyclope est introduit chaque année par un poème, Philippe Chalmin explique le choix du texte de Rabindranath Tagore pour cette édition anniversaire, une "part de rêve" dans un monde marqué par de nombreux conflits. Il retrace ensuite les "Trente Glorieuses de la mondialisation" qui ont pris fin avec des événements comme la crise du Covid-19 et la guerre en Ukraine, plongeant le système commercial mondial dans une phase de rupture.L'expert décrypte également la stratégie industrielle de la Chine, qui a su saisir les opportunités laissées vacantes par l'Occident, notamment dans des secteurs clés comme les terres rares ou les batteries électriques. Il met en garde contre le "piège de Thucydide" évoqué par le président chinois Xi Jinping lors de sa rencontre avec Donald Trump, une référence à la guerre du Péloponnèse qui illustre les tensions entre les grandes puissances.Au fil de l'entretien, Philippe Chalmin partage son analyse avisée des enjeux géopolitiques liés aux matières premières, un sujet qu'il a approfondi dans l'ouvrage "Fragments de matière" publié pour les 40 ans du rapport Cyclope. Un épisode incontournable pour comprendre les soubresauts de l'économie mondiale à travers le prisme des matières premières.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Today's lengthy episode (I probably should’ve divided it in half!) is another devoted to orchestral song, in this case Deutsche Orchesterlieder. But, in a twist, you will not be hearing any music by either Mahler or Strauss today. (Their orchestral songs have already been amply represented on Countermelody. No, today I am featuring songs ranging from the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century. Some of the composers presented – Alban Berg, Max Reger, Hugo Wolf, Arnold Schoenberg – will be familiar to listeners; others – Alexander Zemlinsky (pictured), Hans Pfitzner, Paul Hindemith, Hans Werner Henze, Franz Schreker – perhaps more as names familiar for musical historical reasons than for their actual compositions. Still others – Ernst Toch, Wolfgang Fortner, Joseph Marx – may be new discoveries altogether. What links them is that they are all fascinating composers whose works run the gamut from lush post-romanticism to exotic orientalism to Neue Sachlichkeit clarity. Texts include the great German lyric poets; anonymous Italian folk poetry; German translations of American poets such as Walt Whitman and major figures of the Harlem Renaissance; and translations of ancient Chinese poetry and the verse of Rabindranath Tagore. Similarly varied are the singers (Elisabeth Söderström, Friedrich Schorr, Edith Mathis, Willard White, Elly Ameling, Irmgard Seefried, Roberta Alexander, Barry McDaniel, Christine Brewer, Christa Ludwig, Helen Donath) and conductors (Michael Tilson Thomas, Riccardo Chailly, Rafael Kubelik, Sergiu Celibidache, Erich Leinsdorf, Carl Schuricht, Hermann Scherchen), heard. Settle in for a ride across a varied, surprising, and always engaging musical landscape. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Plant Thinkers of Twentieth-Century Bengal (Oxford UP, 2024) by Sumana Roy takes an unexpected cast of writers and artists and, in studying their work as ‘plant thinkers', looks at how their stories and songs, art and films, and, of course, the idiomatic affected Bengali life and thought. Forest and garden, grass and root, weeds and magical plants—supported by a foliage of thought that allowed them to see beyond the botanical, Rabindranath Tagore, Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, Jibanananda Das, Shakti Chattopadhyay, Satyajit Ray, and others derived their worldview, their poetics and politics, from the plant world. Jagadish Chandra Bose's scientific experiments, his research and the philosophy that propelled it, religions and rituals that involved an affective relationship with the natural world, a subterranean invocation of plant philosophy in actions and words, in living and in creative practice, and the political possibilities beyond the nation state that such thinking generated give this book its sap and flow.

Mayo, nos dio plumas que cambiaron el mundo. En este episodio de El Buen Cruel celebramos a los grandes que nacieron con la primavera en llamas: Nicolás Maquiavelo y el arte del poder, Arthur Conan Doyle y la mente de Sherlock Holmes, Rabindranath Tagore y sus versos Nobel, Walt Whitman y su canto al cuerpo y al alma. Y junto a ellos, otros rebeldes que soplaron velas en mayo. Repasamos sus vidas, sus frases que duelen y las anécdotas que no te cuenta la escuela. Porque mayo no solo trae flores: trae autores que siguen escribiendo el presente. Dale play.#WaltWhitman #ElBuenCruel #PodcastLiterario #NicolásMaquiavelo #ArthurConanDoyle

Late-Victorian and modernist writers have been famously preoccupied with ideas of personal and poetic discipline (or the lack thereof). How are such notions of askesis articulated within the global contexts of the twentieth century? This talk examines how two prominent twentieth-century writers—Sri Aurobindo and Rabindranath Tagore—engage with askesis in their works. Both writers were deeply fascinated by asceticism and by the figure of the ascetic. I argue that they used literary form as a space to reflect on and experiment with askesis as both figure and method. For Aurobindo, blank verse becomes a formal reflection not only of heterodox ascetic practice but also of a strategic orientation toward a transhistorical and transcultural vision of future poetry and society. For Tagore, the figure of the ascetic functions as an aesthetic cipher against which nascent political ideas and imaginaries may be tested. Drawing on Aurobindo's The Future Poetry (1917-1920) and Tagore's “The Ghat's Story” (1884), Rajarshi (1887), Achalayatan (1912), and Sanyasi (1917), this talk illuminates the centrality of askesis to global twentieth-century critical thought on the theo-politics of literary form. Bio: Dr. Apala Das is an Assistant Professor of English at Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey. She received her PhD in English from the University of Toronto in 2024. Her current book project, titled In the Shadows of Discipline: Literatures of Renunciation in the Global Twentieth Century, examines selected global literary experiments of the twentieth century as instances of modernist asceticism, conceptualized as critical and creative responses to the ideological and biopolitical forces latent in asceticism. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in The Wallace Stevens Journal, the Journal of Postcolonial Writing, Modern Fiction Studies, Religion and Literature, and the Bloomsbury Philosophy Library's Aesthetics and Politics in the Global South.

Son muchas las utopías del árbol y poco reconocidas. El árbol no solo nos presta innumerables y necesarios beneficios sino que, además, está presente en todos los procesos vitales esenciales del humano, y cuando lo hemos ignorado y menospreciado nuestra historia es más mediocre y menos feliz.El sueño de los árboles, nuestro sueño de los árboles se llama Dendrotopías. Arraigo transcultural, patria de vida, raíz y sustento en y dentro de la naturaleza. El árbol nos une, más allá de religiones y nacionalidades, y nos da la oportunidad, siempre, de volver a empezar, de creer en el futuro. De estas utopías dendrotópicas vamos a hablar con Ignacio Abella. Como la tradición del árbol de la palabra, o del árbol de junta, del Árbol Matria, del árbol de nacimiento, del árbol tutelar… No permanecer al lado del árbol, física, mental y espiritualmente nos aleja de nuestra propia humanidad. Decía Francis Hallé que ya ni siquiera somos capaces de plantar un árbol y dejar que se haga enorme. Tampoco somos capaces de mantener un bosque.El camino de salida es fácil, recuperar la presencia de nuestros árboles, desde los árboles totémicos presentes en todos los pueblos del mundo, los árboles de las plazas en aldeas y ciudades, los árboles santuario y los árboles que nos hablan del paraíso. Hoy, 5 de abril es el Día Internacional de la Conciencia, según la ONU. La conciencia como fuerza orientadora para lograr la paz mundial, la tolerancia y el respeto mutuo. Subraya el poder de la reflexión ética y la acción compasiva a la hora de abordar los retos mundiales actuales. Y para cumplir esta misión nos enriquecen Ignacio Abella, Raúl Alcanduerca, Irma Pineda, Boniface Ofogó, Manolo Corces, Covadonga Vejo, George Moustaki y Miguel Torga. Rosa Villalba informa y alerta sobre la peligrosidad y rescate de los trabajos de altura de los arbolistas, tristemente, de plena actualidad. En el Club de la Hojarasca: Estela Viana, Andrea Briongos, Alex Gara, Pilar Socorro, José Manuel Sebastián, Álvaro Soto, Charlie Faber e Isabel Ruíz Lara.Decía Rabindranath Tagore, en sus escuelas visionarias: “No llevéis los árboles a la clase. Llevad la clase debajo de los árboles”. HT: #ArbolMatriaRadio3Escuchar audio

Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899–1976), known as the Rebel Poet, was one of the most influential literary voices of Bengal. His revolutionary poetry challenged British colonial rule and inspired the freedom movement. The Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore supported Nazrul during his imprisonment and dedicated his play Basanta to him. Nazrul's message of justice and harmony echoed the spirit of India's struggle for independence, led by Mahatma Gandhi.#KaziNazrulIslam #RabindranathTagore #MahatmaGandhi #IndianHistory #RebelPoet #FreedomMovement #WorldPoetryDay #IndianCulture

In 1831, the India Gazette wrote about a group of radical young thinkers that it credited for an upheaval in social and religious politics in Calcutta. These were the Young Bengal, the proteges of Henry Derozio of Hindu College. These thinkers, according to Rosinka Chaudhuri, were India's first radicals, trying to reshape Indian politics as it came under the sway of the East India Company and the British Empire. Rosinka joins the show to talk about her book India's First Radicals: Young Bengal and the British Empire (India Viking, 2025) and the British Empire, and where this group sits in the long history of Indian nationalist, anti-colonial and anti-imperial thought. Rosinka Chaudhuri is director and professor of cultural studies at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta. Her books include Gentlemen Poets in Colonial Bengal: Emergent Nationalism and the Orientalist Project (2002), Freedom and Beef Steaks: Colonial Calcutta Culture (2011) and The Literary Thing: History, Poetry and the Making of a Modern Cultural Sphere (2013). She has edited many books, among which are Derozio, Poet of India: The Definitive Edition (2008), A History of Indian Poetry in English (2016), and most recently, George Orwell's Burmese Days for Oxford World's Classics (2021). Many of her journal articles, reviews and book chapters have been published worldwide, while her translation of Rabindranath Tagore's letters, titled Letters from a Young Poet (1887–1895), was published as a Penguin Modern Classic in 2014.

Rabindranath Tagore wrote that “Love is the only reality… the ultimate truth at the heart of creation.” In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore why the opposite of love isn't hate but illusion, and how failing to see others as sparks of the divine disconnects us from reality itself. From Krishna's cosmic picnic mandala to Lord Jagannāth's worldwide Ratha Yatra, and even a few Roomba and Nutella detours, discover how Bhakti yoga reveals love as the center of all existence.

Giuseppe Flora, Alessandro Anil"Movimenti, acque, soliloqui"Poesia bengalese modernaOfficina Librariawww.officinalibraria.netLa poesia moderna in India si scrive in oltre quindici lingue, inglese compreso. La poesia moderna bengalese può vantare un indiscusso primato: dal 1913, data del premio Nobel per la letteratura conferito a Rabindranath Tagore, è stata tradotta in quasi tutto il mondo. In realtà a essere tradotte sono state prevalentemente le opere di Tagore, molto noto in Italia e nel resto d'Europa. Gli altri poeti, coevi o posteriori, sono poco conosciuti nel nostro paese, nonostante la loro raffinata produzione e i fermenti letterari ai quali si ricollegano. Questo volume intende presentare, per la prima volta in italiano, alcune di quelle voci tra le più espressive, dalla seconda metà del Novecento ai giorni nostri. Il volume si compone di un saggio introduttivo, che riannoda tradizioni letterarie classiche, medioevali e moderne al senso della contemporaneità della poesia. È presente un saggio su Buddhadeb Basu, figura chiave del Modernismo bengalese e la traduzione di sue tre poesie. Seguono i versi dei poeti Nazrul Islam, Jibanananda Das, Shakti Chattopadhyay, Sankha Ghosh, Joy Goswami, nella traduzione di Alessandro Anil, candidato al premio Strega Poesia, e quella di tre voci femminili del Minimalismo contemporaneo. Tutte le poesie sono corredate dal testo a fronte in lingua originale.Giuseppe Flora ha conseguito il dottorato di ricerca presso la Jawaharlal Nehru University di New Delhi. È autore di diversi saggi sulla storia e la cultura dell'India moderna. Tra i suoi contributi recenti: On Fairy Tales, Intellectuals and Nationalism in Bengal (1880-1920) (Istituti editoriali e poligrafici internazionali, 2002); Tagore and Italy: Facing History and Politics (2008); Dandyism in Nineteenth Century Bengal: An Exploration (2014); India as a Wonderland: International Outlook and Counterculture (2020).Alessandro Anil, ha vissuto in india fino a sedici anni, a Santiniketan (West Bengal), frequentando la scuola fondata dal poeta Rabindranath Tagore. Conclude gli studi in Filosofia e Letteratura in Inghilterra. Esordisce nel 2019 con Versante d'esilio (Minerva editore), con cui vince il premio Camaiore, il premio Guido Gozzano, opera prima, e il premio Città di Como. Sempre nel 2019 pubblica insieme a Franca Mancinelli e Maria Grazia Calandrone, Come tradurre la neve (Animamundi Editore). Viene inserito nell'antologia Poeti nati negli anni Novanta (Ladolfi, 2020). Nel 2023 publica Terra dei ritorni (Samuele editore-Pordenonelegge), con cui è candidato al Premio Strega Poesia 2024. Drammaturgo e regista, dal 2021 è direttore artistico del Centro Theatre House - Sources Research Performative Arts, con cui oltre alla direzione artistica e la formazione professionale, si occupa di educazione e integrazione nel mondo lavorativo per fasce meno abbienti.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

In The Hindu Self and its Muslim Neighbors, the author sketches the contours of relations between Hindus and Muslims in Bengal. The central argument is that various patterns of amicability and antipathy have been generated towards Muslims over the last six hundred years and these patterns emerge at dynamic intersections between Hindu self-understandings and social shifts on contested landscapes. The core of the book is a set of translations of the Bengali writings of Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899-1976), and Annada Shankar Ray (1904-2002). Their lives were deeply interwoven with some Hindu-Muslim synthetic ideas and subjectivities, and these involvements are articulated throughout their writings which provide multiple vignettes of contemporary modes of amity and antagonism. Barua argues that the characterization of relations between Hindus and Muslims either in terms of an implacable hostility or of an unfragmented peace is historically inaccurate, for these relations were modulated by a shifting array of socio-economic and socio-political parameters. It is within these contexts that Rabindranath, Nazrul, and Annada Shankar are developing their thoughts on Hindus and Muslims through the prisms of religious humanism and universalism.

Gurudev and Bapu explores the extraordinary exchange of letters and ideas between Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore, set against the backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle. Over 25 years, their correspondence reveals sharp differences on key issues—nationalism, civil disobedience, education—but also unwavering respect and affection between the two. Their dialogue reflects a time in India's history marked by thoughtful disagreement and political maturity—offering insights into how principled dissent and mutual regard can coexist. Bangalore Little Theatre was honoured to present early performances of the play at places closely associated with Gandhi and Tagore—Sabarmati Ashram, Santiniketan (Visva Bharati), and Thakurbari-Jorasanko (Rabindra Bharati). It has also been staged for the President of India. Adapted from the internationally acclaimed production with over 130 performances in India and abroad, this staging promises a compelling reflection on two great minds and the values that shaped a nation. This performance is a tribute to Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore's enduring legacy, presented around the time of his birth anniversary.

In this episode, we gather to reflect on a beautiful and profound quote that would resonate with the very core of your being, and also help you to dive deep into the essence of love, truth, and personal empowerment.The quote is attributed to Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European to win the Nobel Peace Prize in Literature.Now, Let's open our hearts and minds to these words: “Beloved, today we speak right to the energy of Love, because the hour is ripe, and the invitation is clear.Love is not an emotion. It is not a sentiment. It is not a fragile flower to be protected from the winds of life.Love is the raw, roaring truth of your being. It is the original frequency of your soul before time carved your name into form.To choose love is to choose reality. Not the illusion of safety, not the performance of light, but the presence of wholeness that says, I am here. Fully. Now.You do not choose love because it is easy. You choose love because it is you. The world may rage. The collective may swirl in fear, confusion, and noise. But the Master does not answer chaos with more chaos.The Master remembers. You radiate clarity. You live in peace.Every time you choose love, you collapse timelines of pain. You rewrite the laws of cause and effect. You pull back every projection and stand in the mirror of your own divinity. And in that still, unwavering gaze, you remember the most sacred truth of all: Love was never out there. It was always the fire within, waiting for your permission to rise.”What a powerful message! Three key lessons that arise from this quote: Lesson 1: Love is an inner truth, not an external emotion. Lesson 2: Choosing love is a radical act of courage. Lesson 3: Love rewrites reality. Every time you choose love, you collapse timelines of pain and rewrite the laws of cause and effect. This teaches you that your choices have profound impacts, shaping your life and the collective consciousness. By radiating love, you bring clarity and peace to yourself and the world around you.Let's carry this energy of love into our lives and share that radiance with the world. Remember to stay rooted in love and truth.Please subscribe, share with friends and family. We appreciate your notes and comments.

In this final conversation with Celtic thinker and author John Philip Newell about his book ‘The Great Search,' we explore themes of returning to the wisdom of childhood and learning to encounter the light of the world in the midst of darkness. What emerges is a map for navigating the challenging landscape of our contemporary culture, with its emphasis on external power over inner wisdom. As we reflect on the wisdom of three twentieth century luminaries, an invitation for transcending the darkness emerges. Come for his brogue, stay for his mind and heart: this final conversation with John Phillip Newell will leave you re-discovering wisdom, hope, and courage.

From one of the world's leading historians comes the first substantial study of environmentalism set in any country outside the Euro-American world. By the canons of orthodox social science, countries like India are not supposed to have an environmental consciousness. They are, as it were, “too poor to be green.” In Speaking with Nature: The Origins of Indian Environmentalism (Yale UP, 2024), Ramachandra Guha challenges this narrative by revealing a virtually unknown prehistory of the global movement set far outside Europe or America. Long before the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and well before climate change, ten remarkable individuals wrote with deep insight about the dangers of environmental abuse from within an Indian context.  In strikingly contemporary language, Rabindranath Tagore, Radhakamal Mukerjee, J. C. Kumarappa, Patrick Geddes, Albert and Gabrielle Howard, Mira, Verrier Elwin, K. M. Munshi, and M. Krishnan wrote about the forest and the wild, soil and water, urbanization and industrialization. Positing the idea of what Guha calls “livelihood environmentalism” in contrast to the “full-stomach environmentalism” of the affluent world, these writers, activists, and scientists played a pioneering role in shaping global conversations about humanity's relationship with nature. Spanning more than a century of Indian history, and decidedly transnational in reference, this book offers rich resources for considering the threat of climate change today. About the Author: Ramachandra Guha is the author of many books, including India After Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracy and Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914–1948. Guha's awards include the Leopold-Hidy Prize of the American Society of Environmental History, the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography, and the Fukuoka Prize for contributions to Asian studies. He lives in Bangalore. About the Host: Stuti Roy has recently graduated with an MPhil in Modern South Asian Studies at the University of Oxford.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's poem is The Gardener 85 by Rabindranath Tagore.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Poetry has a way of collapsing time, and by working the senses, having us experience an era. In the blues rhythms of Langston Hughes' poetry, I hear early twentieth century New York, and going back, I hear the plurality of America and its citizens in the poetry of Walt Whitman who explicitly said he heard singing. In a way, poems are capsules from the past that open whenever we read them.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
