Obviously,Jana Gana Mana the national anthem of India.

Jana gaṇa mana adhināyaka jaya hē
Bhārata bhāgya Vidhātā
Pañjāba Sindhu Gujarāṭa Marāṭhā
Drāviḍa Utkala Baṅga
Vindhya Himācala ẏamunā Gaṅgā
Ucchala jaladhi taraṅga
Tava śubha nāmē jāgē
Tava śubha āśiṣa māgē
Gāhē tava jaya gāthā
Jana gaṇa maṅgala dāyaka jaya hē
Bhārata bhāgya vidhātā
Jaya hē jaya hē jaya hē
Jaya jaya jaya jaya hē

English Translation

O! Dispenser of India's destiny, thou art the ruler of the minds of all people
Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, the Maratha country,
in the Dravida country, Utkala and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
it mingles in the rhapsodies of the pure waters of Yamuna and the Ganges.
They chant only thy name.
They seek only thy auspicious blessings.
They sing only the glory of thy victory.
The salvation of all people waits in thy hands,
O! Dispenser of India's destiny, thou art the ruler of the minds of all people
Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee,
Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory to thee!.

@Mrignayani
Great Song!! This may be the favourite Rabindra Sangeet of All....
My favorite rabindra Sangeet are as no one Rabindra Sangeet is favourite to me..


The word of the songs of Rabindranath Tagore is eternally thrilling and enchanting. It brings forth a vast panorama of human life and experience encapsulating joy and sorrow, love and languishment, pleasure and pain, union and detachment besides a look beyond

"Amar poran jaha chay tumi tai,,,,,tumi tai go"

"Na chahile jare paowa jay"

"Amar Rat Pohalo Sahod Prate...
Banshi Banshi........."

"Pran voriye Trisha horiye ...more aro aro aro dao "

Hope to listen from you more.....

Hi All,

I want to share one of his poems.Moreover, he wrote poems and songs in Bengali.Translations of his work are quite rare. It is very tedious task to find good translations of his work. I have selected the following poems quite randomly, because I liked reading them over and over again. I knowe there are many poems written by him are good but I like Geetanjali the most.
Geetanjali

"Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This
frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with
fresh life.

This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and
hast breathed through it melodies eternally new.

At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in
joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable.

Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine.
Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill."

Hey Ladies,

Nice Thread!!
I am a music lover and I have put my kids also into music as I want to sing .
Rabindra Sangeet is one of my favourites
I am not a bengali though but love to hear the Rabindra Sangeet.
I have a lot of Bengali friends out here in Pune.
I listen to some Hindi Rabindrasangeet also..They seemed to be equally sonorous like the bengali ones.
Can somebody share some links where Hindi Rabindra Sangeet can be downloaded or heard ?

Thanks
Shweta
