From this lovely ang great poem that you have trans-created, I can only guess how beautiful it might feel If one reads it in its original Bengali form.You are a powerful writer indeed.Please add some of your creative hours for translating Gitanjali, so that many lovers of Tagore like us can benefit from it. My sincere thanks to you for this incredible and genuine effort.10++++++++++++ Regards. Subhas
I am so glad that you liked the translation from Tagore. You are very right - the poem in Bengali is truly magnificent! I tried, but the original is superb! I am working on another translation right now, hope to share with all of you soon. Geetanjali was already translated by the poet himself, which won the Nobel Prize. It (published by Biswabharati) should be available in bookstores. You may find in Amazon too! Thank you.
