Quelle est la différence entre le ninja et le samouraï ? En fait, y'en a beaucoup, j'ai même envie de vous dire que c'est pas pantoute la même affaire, mais ça vaut la peine de s'arrêter un peu, parce qu'ils sont l'un et l'autre le produit d'une époque trouble qui explique leur émergence respective. Pour voir ces deux figures historiques en action, je vous recommande vivement de découvrir le nouveau jeu Assassin's Creed: Shadows d'Ubisoft. Se déroulant dans le Japon du XVIe siècle, le jeu suit Naoe, une ninja (shinobi) déterminée, et Yasuke, un puissant samouraï inspiré d'un personnage historique réel. Vous plongerez dans leurs histoires personnelles, rencontrerez des figures historiques importantes et influencerez leur destin commun alors que le Japon traverse une période de guerre et de bouleversements.

Il Giappone rappresenta un esempio unico di come un paese possa modernizzarsi in un lasso di tempo estremamente breve e senza grandi sconvolgimenti all'interno della propria società. In questo primo episodio speciale, vediamo quali sfide il paese del Sol Levante abbia dovuto affrontare a partire dal XIX secolo, a causa della penetrazione delle potenze occidentali.Seguimi su Instagram: @laguerragrande_podcastSe vuoi contribuire con una donazione sul conto PayPal: podcastlaguerragrande@gmail.comScritto e condotto da Andrea BassoMontaggio e audio: Andrea BassoFonti dell'episodio:Michael R.

Paul Martin is a Japanese sword expert who has worked at the British Museum and traveled extensively in Japan to study swords and armor. Martin's new book Japanese Swords and Armor covers 30 famous samurai warriors and their swords, armor, and other artifacts associated with them, from antique sets to modern treasures, each with its own historical and cultural significance. The book was originally published in both Italian and French, and will now be available in English from by Tuttle Publishing in Oct. 2024.He discusses the history and significance of Emperor Go-Toba, who was exiled to the Oki Islands but continued making swords there. The swords he made were marked with a chrysanthemum, which became the basis for the current Imperial seal.In this podcast episode, Paul Martin highlights some of the most notable pieces in his book, including a wooden sword made by Miyamoto Musashi and sword fittings attributed to him. Martin provided recommendations on the best places in Japan to see historical Japanese swords.Empeor Go-Toba was known for his poetry, much of it written while in exile on Oki Island. One particular poem involves the poet banishing the frogs from a nearby pond:"Frogs, croaking in the pond,Go away, banish your noise;In this world of sorrow,There is no need for your song." (translation generated from ChatGPT)This poem highlights Go-Toba's despair and the heavy burden of his exile. The imagery of banishing the frogs from the pond serves as a metaphor for his own banishment and desire for peace amidst his suffering.Paul also talks about the beginning lines of the Tale of the Heike, an epic that recounts the history of the late Heian period, including the life and exile of Go-Toba“The sound of the Gion Shoja temple bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sala flowers reveals the truth that to flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure, like a passing dream on a night in spring; the mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.” Helen Craig McCulloughLastly, Paul's favorite books are:1. They Came to Japan by Michael Cooper, a collection of Jesuit records from the 17th century.2. The Tale of the Heike, (version translated by Helen Craig McCullough) a classic Japanese epic poem that reflects the concept of impermanence.“The sound of the Gion Shoja temple bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sala flowers reveals the truth that to flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure, like a passing dream on a night in spring; the mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.” Helen Craig McCullough3. The documentary "The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On" by Kazuo Hara, which explores the ambiguities of Japanese culture and the horrors of war.Be sure to pick up his book: Japanese Swords and Armor: Masterpieces from Thirty of Japan's Most Famous Samurai Warriors (Tuttle, Oct. 2024)You can follow Paul Martin by clicking on the following links:Website: The Japanese Sword (thejapanesesword.com)YouTube: Paul Martin: The Japanese SwordFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The.Japanese.SwordInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejapanesesword/Twitter: @thejapaneseswrd (https://x.com/thejapaneseswrd)LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejapanesesword/ The Books on Asia Podcast is sponsored by Stone Bridge Press.

In dieser Episode teilen wir unsere Highlights und Erkenntnisse von unserer Studienreise nach Japan: Verkehrsleitsysteme und Orientierung: Wie uns internationale Beschilderungen, Zahlen und Farbkombinationen sowie Google Maps halfen, uns zurechtzufinden, insbesondere aufgrund des für uns schwer verständlichen japanischen Schriftsystems. Bildhafte Kultur: Von bunten Illustrationen in U-Bahnen bis hin zu kunstvollen Verpackungen – Japan ist ein Paradies für Illustratoren und ein lebendiges Beispiel für bildhaftes Informationsdesign. Regeln im öffentlichen Raum: Die strikte Ordnung und Vielzahl an Regeln, die den öffentlichen Raum prägen und interessante Einblicke in die japanische Kultur bieten. Ebenso sprechen wir über die dienstleistungsorientierte Kultur Japans, die beeindruckende Gastfreundschaft und unsere Begegnungen mit Kollegen vor Ort. Von „Plastikessen“ in Restaurant-Auslagen bis hin zu den hilfreichen Funktionen von Google Translate – diese Reise war voller Überraschungen und wertvoller Erkenntnisse.Bleibt dran für weitere Einblicke aus unserem „Information Designers in the Wild“-Format.P.S.: Zwei unserer Sticker sind in Kyoto versteckt.

Wir springen in dieser Folge ins 14. Jahrhundert. Ort unserer Geschichte ist das Ostchinesische Meer, wo sich in jener Zeit zwischen China und Japan ein kleines Königreich zu einer der größten Wirtschaftsmächte der Region emporschwingt. Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über das Königreich Ryukyu, das in den Jahrhunderten seiner Existenz eine der wohl außergewöhnlichsten Positionen der Zeit innehatte. //Erwähnte Folgen - GAG311: Der Imjin-Krieg – https://gadg.fm/311 - GAG323: Die Republik Ezo und das Ende des Shogunats – https://gadg.fm/323 - GAG151: Manjirō, der erste Japaner in Amerika – https://gadg.fm/151 //Literatur - George Kerr.

In questo episodio speciale vediamo la storia di due esploratori, un tedesco e un austriaco, che si ritrovarono in guerra... senza saperlo. Hermann Detzner e Richard Thurnwald, nel 1914, erano impegnati in missioni geografiche e scientifiche fra le giungle della Nuova Guinea Tedesca. Le loro vicende sono avventurose, ma presentano anche alcuni lati che sfociano nel ridicolo. In conclusione, vi aggiorno a proposito di un evento che ho menzionato di sfuggita nell'episodio 40.Seguimi su Instagram: @laguerragrande_podcastSe vuoi contribuire con una donazione sul conto PayPal: podcastlaguerragrande@gmail.comScritto e condotto da Andrea BassoMontaggio e audio: Andrea BassoFonti dell'episodio:P.

Today, we'll be discussing Episode 5 of Crash Landing On You, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Hyun Bin as Ri Jyeong hyeok, Son Ye-jin as Yoon Se-ri, Seo Ji-hye as Seo Dan and Kim Jung-hyun as Gu Seung joon. We discuss:The songs we featured in the recap: Sunset by Davichi and My Companion by Nam Hye sung and Park Sang Hee.Captain Ri's big confession to Se-ri that he has a fiancée, which of course leads her to deny that she is at all interested in him.The lack of love between Seo Dan and Captain Ri; we wonder if she loves him.How the village women rally around Se-ri when they think she's been dumped by Captain Ri.Chimaek (fried chicken and beer) vs. dried pollack and beer.The story of Gyeonu and Jiknyeo, which is a story from Korean mythology.Captain Ri driving Seo Dan back to her house and then visiting his parents.How Captain Ri again went out on a limb to protect Se-ri when he asked his father to help him get Se-ri out of the country; the plan is to get her out through a track team going to Europe.How asking if someone has eaten is a common way of greeting people in Korea; it's a sign of caring to ask and then offer food.How Captain Ri always seems to be confident about his future and maybe it's because he doesn't think about his future and doesn't believe he can ever be happy again.The really expensive Chopard watch that Se-ri pawns and the watch she sees at the pawnbroker's shop.How Se-ri needs to change her appearance for her upcoming trip to Pyongyang. She chooses the “Goodbye” hairstyle, of all things!How Captain Ri has made a HUGE enemy out of Cho Cheol Gang when he rescued his men and opened up an investigation into the Kamaz truck accidents.The recurring goodbyes and partings in this show.The terrible situation that Jung Man Bok finds himself in. He contributed to the murder of Ri Mu Hyeok, who saved him from a beating. He is listening in on Ri Jeong Hyeok, who came to his rescue when his wallet was stolen. And he is listening in on Yoon Se-ri, who elevated his wife's position in the village and saved his son from the school bullies. The magical scene outside the train between Se-ri and Captain Ri when she fell asleep and Captain Ri covered her with his overcoat and let her lean on his shoulder.How Gu Seung Jun went on one date with Se-ri but she rightly intuited that he was after her money. And now he finds her in a hotel in Pyongyang! He has just found a way to bargain with Se-ri's younger brother!The amazing Son Ye-jin, the actress who plays Yoon Se-ri: her background, movies, shows, and accomplishments.The shows we are watching now.ReferencesChilseok: The Traditional Korean Valentine's DayJapanese Children's Favorite StoriesTop 5 Myths About North Korea in 2024Korean Children's Favorite Stories from Tuttle Publishing

She was the owner and head instructor of Pacific Wave Jiu-jitsu in Richmond, BC, which she ran for 14 years before closing it during the pandemic in 2020. Sensei O'Connell holds the rank of 5th degree black belt and holds the title of Renshi in a Japanese style of Jiu-jitsu called Can-Ryu. In addition to her Jiu-jitsu training, Sensei O'Connell has supplemented her primary style over the years by studying a wide variety of other arts and styles, including Filipino martial arts, boxing/kickboxing, BJJ/MMA, Gong Fu, Tai chi, Karate, Aikido, Taekwondo, Wing Chun, etc. She has taught Jiu-jitsu/self-defense at martial arts schools and organizations, private companies, and community organizations across North America and internationally.

She also wrote Weapons of Opportunity, about her personal experiences teaching and training in the martial arts, and wrote regularly on her dojo's martial arts blog for over 13 years. #PKCC #MMA #martialarts
The Korean War “ended” exactly fifty years ago at Panmunjom. On July 27, 1953, United States and United Nations commanders on one side, and the North Koreans and Chinese commanders on the other, agreed to an immediate cessation of hostilities. Most histories of the Korean War stop there. Yet the war merely ended in a truce, not a proper peace agreement. The specter of conflict have loomed over the Korean Peninsula in the five decades since, changing development in both North and South Korea as each tries to secure their own future in a conflict that–in theory–could return at any point. We're joined by Michael J. Seth, who joins the show to talk about this development and his latest book, Korea at War: Conflicts That Shaped the World (Tuttle, 2023). The book is about much more than just the war itself, as Seth looks at Korea's pre- and post-war history, and how South Korea is unique in charting its own development while still, technically, in a state of war. Michael J. Seth is Professor of History at James Madison University. He has authored several books on Korean history including A Concise History of Modern Korea: From the Late Nineteenth Century to the Present (Rowman & Littlefield: 2010), A Concise History of Korea: From the Neolithic to the Nineteenth Century (Rowman & Littlefield: 2006), and Education Fever: Politics, Society and the Pursuit of Schooling in South Korea (University of Hawaii Press: 2002).

Welcome to Decorating the Set: From Hollywood to Your Home with Beth Kushnick! Have you ever wondered how a film or TV show gets permission to shoot inside someone's home or business? This is location scouting. This week, Beth and Caroline sit down with location manager and long time friend of Beth's, Monte Farber! GUEST BIO: Monte Farber was born in Brooklyn, NY. He studied comparative religion and became interested in astrology in 1974 when he met his future wife and artistic collaborator, Amy Zerner. "Amy was studying astrology and I was studying Amy, so I learned astrology! It became our language of love." Farber's desire to make astrology understood and accessible to a broad audience led him to devise books, book/card sets, and unique kits that also made other esoteric systems accessible, such as the tarot, alchemy, meditation, shamanism, psychic development, and relationships. Farber is now the world's foremost creator of interactive personal guidance systems. Monte has over two million copies of his 40 books, divination systems, DVDs and Meditation CDs published around the world in fourteen languages by Sterling, St.Martin's Press, Simon & Schuster, Penguin Books, Chronicle Books, Harper Collins, Tuttle Publishing, U.S. Games, and other publishers. He has licensed six of his interactive personal guidance systems to myLifetime.com, LifetimeTV's popular website. Starting in 2008, Monte made uncannily accurate - more than 80% correct- psychic predictions about world events, the economy and specific stocks every few months on dated-for-verification video clips interviewed by Alix Steele for Jim Cramer's popular financial website www.TheStreet.com. Living in the exclusive Hamptons area of Long Island,New York, he has personally counseled many of the celebrities and business elite who know him as "The Best Astrologer in The Hamptons" (Dan's Papers). His remarkable insights and down to-earth advice have been endorsed by leading visionary authors and company executives who use his unique skills as part of their important decision-making mix.

Happy Birthday, Sensei How I learned to count and breathe with Uechi-Ryu claynferno.substack.com (http://claynferno.substack.com) It starts with the breath. I learned to count in Japanese when my Dad and I took on the ultimate 80s father/son bonding exercise by taking Karate together. I am sorry, but I somehow have yet to watch Cobra-Kai. The Karate Kid craze in the 80s and early 90s was a real thing, and we were all about it. We studied under Sensei Michael and Sensei Linda. We had to drive to get there and were sure not to forget our gi when leaving the house because there was a ‘three strikes and you are out' penalty for forgetting your gi at home. Uechi-Ryū Karate-Do My Dad used to smoke, and he had his cigarettes in his red t-shirt pocket by his heart. One of the training exercises we did was to face each other, our forearms pressed against each other. In a kind of “hot hands” or reverse arm wrestle, the point was to stare your opponent down, quickly move your arm away from the other person and land a strike. At home, my goal was simple. Our arms were pressed against each other. As soon as you felt the other person move to strike, your task was to block their strike. But I had a different goal when I was attacking. I knocked my Dad's Marlboro Reds up and out of his shirt and onto the floor to make a sound that only a small cellophane-covered cardboard box filled with tobacco-filled paper tubes can make. The strike when landed on me was little more than a three-fingered ‘slap' to the face. We played best of 10 (I think). September 12th was Sensei George Mattson's birthday. He studied Uechi-Ryu, brought it to America, and wrote the first English book about Karate, The Way of Karate from Tuttle Publishing in 1958. I used to work for Tuttle Publishing, by the way! My first ‘real' job. Americans have a different way of celebrating elders and don't have the same cultural respect for older generations as other countries, so I would just like to wish Sensei Mattson a happy and healthy year ahead and thank him for bringing us Uechi-Ryu. Not only did it connect me with my father in a meaningful way at a time when it was important to do so developmentally, but I also used the fundamentals of Uechi-Ryu in self-defense and my daily life. Sensei Mattson's black belt is literally worn out. Daily routine is a kata I have not practiced karate in several years, as I am always searching for a Uechi-Ryu class near me. It is not as popular as mixed martial arts and Tae Kwon Do. There is no Uechi dojo around me. I re-upped as a white belt for a Japanese karate style ten or 15 years ago but didn't stick with it. One thing I do daily is that I count to ten in Japanese on my reps at the gym, on my bike for a good sprint, or out running between telephone poles (a HIIT technique I learned as the Cross Country Co-Captain in high school). I can only imagine that the particular accents and pronunciation were taken from Sensei Mattson as it passed to me. I hope to meet Master Sensei Mattson one day! BUY ME A COFFEE From 1 to 10 First off, the numbers in Japanese from 1 to 10 are these. I have put my spin on it in parens. ichi 一 (EECH!) ni に (KNEE) san 三 (SOAHN) yon 四 shi 四 (CHEE) go 五 (GO) roku 六 (LUCK!) nana 七 shichi 七 (SEECHE) hachi 八 (HAHHTCH) kyuu 九 (Q!) jyuu 十 (JU) REPEAT. There is also a cadence in my counting that tells a story in three acts, and #10 “JUUUUUUU” is the rolling credits. If you can count to ten lying on. your back with your feet raised 6 inches in the air and holding it there, it does feel. like you have accomplished something. I can't pinpoint Sensei Mattson's exact age, but it's around 85, and he is still the father of Karate for me and lots of Americans. It is valuable to celebrate these milestones and recognize elder leaders in our culture this week as the U.K. mourns the loss of its Queen. I Think This Is Great! with Clay N. Ferno is an interview podcast about people doing and being their best. We talk about compassionate work, working on teams, getting over hurdles and doing great things even when the chips are down. This is part productivity podcast and part interview show about fascinating people in my life. Welcome, and please let me know what you think is great!

More info can be found, here. colour field - is a term in painting associated with the abstract painters of the 1950's and 1960's using large swaths of flat colour. Mark Rothko (1903-1970) is one such painter associated with colour field. More info, here. Vincent Longo (1923-2017) - was a painter, printmaker and teacher based in New York City. He was a part of the New York School of artist's of the 1950's and 1960's. His work was based in geometry. You can find more information about Vinnie, here. 4 Blocks (1985) Bill Paden (1930-2004) - was a woodblock printmaker and artist who studied under the American expat Clifton Karhu (1927-2007) in Kyoto. More info, here. Beppu Beach Water Bay Mountain (ca. 1970's) hanmoto system - is the Edo Period (1603-1868) collaboration system of making woodblock prints in Japan. The system was about using, carvers, printers, and craftsmen, by various print publishers in order to produce woodblock prints. The system consisted of the following professions; publisher, artist, carver, and printer. Tetsuya Noda (b 1940) - is a contemporary print artist, photographer and professor emeritus at Tokyo University of the Arts (Tōkyō Geidai). His process uses photographs through a mimeograph machine, then woodblock and silk screen. Considered one of Japan's most famous living artists, Noda's work is a wonderful representation of what can be done with the print medium. More info, with video, can be found, here. The LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies - is a not for profit centre at the Columbia University School of the Arts, which provides an atmosphere of print education for students and invited guests. Tōkyō v Kyōto (Ōsaka) school of mokuhanga - Tōkyō and Kyōto have, historically, been culturally different throughout Japanese history. Even today, especially with foreign expats, which side of the border you pledge allegiance to can make or break a pleasant conversation. Regarding woodblock printing, it was the moving of the capital to Edo from Kyōto by Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616), officially in 1603, which centred the world for an entire nation. Edo became the business, and cultural district in which most people found themselves. The sankin kōtai system, where daimyō from the entire country, were obligated to spend alternating years in the capital, allowed the merchant classes to grow prosperous, spending their time and money on entertainments such as ukiyo-e, kabuki, and sumo. This didn't mean that Kyōto and Ōsaka didn't have ukiyo-e, it simply meant that it was overshadowed by Edo. This is because many publishers and artists lived and worked in Edo's environs. Kabuki from Edo and kabuki from Kyōto thrived, therefore there were many prints published for the plays performed in both cities. Stylistically the prints are different, with Ōsaka ukiyo-e being called Kamigata-e, the region where Ōsaka, and Kyōto are situated. For instance, the work of Ōsaka artist, and painter Shunkōsai Hokushū (active 1802-1832) is famous in Ōsaka for his kabuki prints, but is relatively unknown today, as compared to Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) who lived and worked around the same time in Edo. Comparing the two is perhaps comparing Brad Pitt (b. 1963), with Steve Buscemi (b. 1957), but I feel that it shows what both artists, successful in their fields, can accomplish for the genre. More information on Ōsaka ukiyo-e, can be found, here. Keiko Kadota (1942-2017) - was the director of Nagasawa Art Park at Awaji City from 1997-2011, and then of MI Lab at Lake Kawaguchi from 2011 until her passing.

Our guest is Michael Tremblay who is a Sake Samurai, international sake judge, sake sommelier, and certified sake educator based in Toronto, Canada. Michael is also the co-author of the excellent new book “Exploring the World of Japanese Craft Sake: Rice, Water, Earth” from Tuttle Publishing. This book is not an ordinary book on sake. It not only covers the basics of sake with unique insights but also discusses more advanced topics such as new rice varieties and water mineral contents and how these elements articulate the terroir in each region. But make no mistake, this book is a fun read rather than a textbook, although you would learn so much from it without trying. You will also get to meet people from 35 breweries and other key players in the sake industry, such as koji providers and female toji. In this episode, we will discuss how Michael became a renowned sake expert and educator, intriguing topics featured in his new book, including the latest trends of popular sake rice, how newly developed flower yeasts are changing the flavors of sake, Japan's diverse regional terroir, and much, much more!!!Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Your Love Let Your love play upon my voice and rest on my silence. Let it pass through my heart into all my movements. Let Your love, like stars, shine in the darkness of my sleep and dawn in my awakening. Let it burn in the flame of my desires and flow in all currents of my own love. Let me carry Your love in my life as a harp does its music; and give it back to You at last with my life. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
The Grasp Of Your Hand Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved, but hope for the patience to win my freedom. Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling Your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of Your hand in my failure. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
My Voyage I thought that my voyage had come to its end at the last limit of my power, that the path before me was closed, that provisions were exhausted and the time had come to take shelter in a silent obscurity. But I find that Your will knows no end in me, and when old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
My Polar Star I have made You the polar star of my existence; never again can I lose my way in the voyage of life. Wherever I go, You are always there to shower Your beneficence all around me. Your face is ever present before my mind's eyes. If I lose sight of You even for a moment, I almost lose my mind. Whenever my heart is about to go astray, just a glance of You makes it feel ashamed of itself. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
My Friend I have come to You to take Your touch before I begin my day. Let Your eyes rest upon my eyes for a while. Let me take to my work the assurance of Your comradeship, my Friend. Fill my mind with Your music to last through the desert of noise. Let Your love's sunshine kiss the peaks of my thoughts and linger in my life's valley where the harvest ripens. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Time To Sit Quietly I ask for a moment's indulgence to sit by Your side. The works that I have in hand I will finish afterwards. Away from the sight of Your face, my heart knows no rest nor respite, and my work becomes an endless toil in a shoreless sea of toil. Today the summer has come at my window with its sighs and murmurs, and the bees are plying their minstrelsy at the court of the flowering grove. Now it is time to sit quietly, face to face with You, and to sing dedication of life in this silent and overflowing leisure. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
This Is My Prayer Give me the supreme courage of love, this is my prayer - the courage to speak, to do, to suffer at Your will, to leave all things or be left alone. Strengthen me on errands of danger, honor me with pain, and help me climb to that difficult mood that sacrifices daily to You. Give me the supreme confidence of love, this is my prayer - the confidence that belongs to life in death, to victory in defeat, to the power hidden in the frailest beauty, to that dignity in pain which accepts hurt but disdains to return it. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Deliverance Deliverance is not for me in renunciation. I feel the embrace of freedom in a thousand bonds of delight. You ever pour for me the fresh draft of Your wine of various colors and fragrance, filling this earthen vessel to the brim. My world will light its hundred different lamps with Your flame and place them before the altar of Your temple. No, I will never shut the doors of my senses. The delights of sight and hearing and touch will bear Your delight. Yes, all my illusions will burn into illumination of joy, and all my desires ripen into fruits of love. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
My Last Song Let all the strains of joy mingle in my last song – the joy that makes the earth flow over in the riotous excess of the grass; the joy that sets the twin brothers, life and death, dancing over the wide world; the joy that sweeps in with the tempest, shaking and waking all life with laughter; the joy that sits still on the open, red lotus of pain, and the joy that throws everything it has upon the dust, and knows not a word. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Hold My Hand Deliver me from my own shadows, O God, from the wreck and confusion of my days, for the night is dark and Your pilgrim is blinded. Hold my hand. Deliver me from despair. Touch with Your flame the lightless lamp of my sorrow. Waken my tired strength from its sleep. Do not let me linger behind, counting my losses. Let the road sing to me of the house at every step. For the night is dark, and Your pilgrim is blinded. Hold my hand. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Face To Face? Day after day, O Ruler of my life, shall I stand before You face to face? With folded hands, O Ruler of all worlds, shall I stand before You face to face? Under Your great sky, in solitude and silence with humble heart, shall I stand before You face to face? In this laborious world of Yours, tumultuous with toil and with struggle, among hurrying crowds, shall I stand before You face to face? And when my work shall be done in this world, O Ruler of rulers, alone and speechless, shall I stand before You face to face? Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.

My Greetings Comrade of the road, here are my traveler's greetings to You. God of my broken heart, of leave-taking and loss, of the gray silence of the day fall, my greetings of the ruined house to You. Light of the newborn morning, sun of the everlasting day, my greetings of undying hope to You. My Guide, I am a wayfarer on an endless road, my greetings of a wanderer to You. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Accept Me Accept me, dear God, accept me for this while. Let those orphaned days that passed without You be forgotten. Only spread this little moment wide across Your lap, holding it under Your light. I have wandered in pursuit of voices that drew me, yet led me nowhere. Now let me sit in peace and listen to Your words in the soul of my silence. Do not turn away Your face from my heart's dark secrets, but burn them till they are alight with Your fire. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Worker Of The Universe It is only the revelation of You as the Infinite that is endlessly new and eternally beautiful in us and that gives the only meaning to our self when we feel Your rhythmic throb as soul-life, the whole world in our own souls; then are we free. 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. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
My Song In my songs, I have voiced Your spring flowers and given rhythm to Your rustling leaves. I have sung into the hush of Your night and the peace of Your morning. The thrill of the first summer rains has passed into my tunes and the waving of the autumn harvest. Let not my song cease. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore.
