Synopsis

Awarded the Noble Prize for Literature in 1913. Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) is considered the most important poet of modern-day India. He was also a distinguished author, educator, social reformer, and philosopher.
This inspiring collection of Tagore's poetry represents his "simple prayers of common life." Each of the seventy-seven prayers is an eloquent affirmation of the divine in the face of both joy and sorrow. Like the Psalms of David, they transcend time and speak directly to the human heart.
