Gitanjali (Bengali)

Gitanjali, the Nobel Prize–winning masterpiece of Rabindranath Tagore, is a crown jewel of world literature. First published in 1910 in Bengali and later translated into English by Tagore himself, the collection of poems expresses profound spiritual devotion, human longing, and a deep communion with the divine. Its verses speak of surrender, humility, and the eternal bond between the soul and God, making it one of the most celebrated works of poetry in the modern age.

Adding a new dimension to this timeless treasure, Dr. Uttam Das recreated Gitanjali in his unique invention—the Mirror Language. Mirror Language is an extraordinary form of artistic calligraphy in which letters are written in reverse and become readable only when viewed through a mirror. This innovation, recognized in the Limca Book of Records and other global record forums, has established Dr. Das as a pioneer in blending art, intellect, and literature.

By transcribing Gitanjali into Mirror Language, Dr. Das paid homage to Tagore’s universal vision while also expanding the creative horizon of literature. Just as Tagore sought to break barriers of language and culture through poetry, Dr. Das used Mirror Language to show that literature can transcend conventional boundaries of script and style. His version of Gitanjali stands as both an artistic marvel and a cultural bridge, where Bengal’s spiritual heritage meets a modern global innovation.

This Mirror Language edition of Gitanjali is not merely a rewriting of poems—it is a symbolic act of unity. It emphasizes that literature, whether read in normal form or in mirror form, retains its spiritual power to inspire minds and uplift souls. Through this creation, Dr. Uttam Das has reaffirmed the timeless relevance of Tagore’s message and carried it forward into a new artistic frontier.
