Tomar khola haowa

This song is fron Puja (prayer) section of Gitabitan. Here Tagore discloses a fatalistic nature, meaning he is willing to totally let himself go, following the will of God. The song symbolises God's passion as a stormy wind blowing on the sails of a tiny boat, representing the mortal being.

It is important to know Tagore's unique concept of the Deity as one with whom a corporeal intimacy was sought as a means of expressing ones love and devotion. In line with this concept, therefore, the visuals have been developed taking a more mundane view of Tagore's imagery.

[Supe2U]

@raatri1981 I'm glad you like it. Do you sing?

[cymraeg27]

Beautiful... One of my favourite Tagore songs. Can you please post the lyrics separately?

[Supe2U]

@cymraeg27 The idea behind providing the lyrics in the video is to enable the viewer to simply pause the video and either write it down, OR do a [Alt][PrtSc] for copying and pasting the lyrics elsewhere. So, there you go!

Nice rendering with the Baul taste kept in tact. The ornamentations are not clear at all. Thank God no weeping.

[Supe2U]

@SuruchiSangeet Tagore songs are very lyric-centric and if you do care to understand the lyric and analyse it, you will note that Tagore had expressed a fatalistic view point, ergo leaving his destiny all upto fate. The graphics depict just that.
