Tagore in Vancouver


A RARE PIC. OF  Gurudev  RABINDRANATH TAGORE IN VANCOUVER.




 
...HE PREFERRED TO STAY WITH SIKHS AT A GURDWARA IN CANADA....

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE..He was also given the title SIR by the British , which he later returned in protest against their policies in India....When he had visited Amritsar, while listening to the Holy GURBANI inside the "DARBAR SAHIB" (Golden Temple), he asked his assistant about how much time they had planned to stay at the Golden Temple. When told that their prog. was for 15 mins at Golden Temple ,he told the person "cancel my prog. for the next few days. we shall remain here only".Sikhism had a profound effect on him, and he stopped cutting his hair.
