During the event, Dr. Mahant addressed the attendees and the community, highlighting the importance of Rabindranath Tagore, a great personality who is deeply connected to the region. In 1902, Tagore had visited the Sanatorium to seek treatment for his wife, Mriduladevi’s tuberculosis. Despite his considerable efforts to ensure her recovery, unfortunately, she did not survive. However, he had developed a strong bond with the area. The unveiling of his statue and the foundation laying of the Tagore Vatika and Museum pay tribute to his significant legacy and contribution to the cultural heritage of Chhattisgarh. Dr. Mahant expressed his belief that Tagore’s spirit will always bless the residents of the region.
Dr. Mahant also emphasized that Rabindranath Tagore was a world-renowned poet, writer, philosopher, and Nobel Prize winner in Indian literature. He was also known as Gurudev and was a visionary who revitalized Indian cultural consciousness through Bengali literature. He is the first Asian to have received the Nobel Prize. Dr. Mahant also shared that Tagore was the one who bestowed the title of “Mahatma” upon Mahatma Gandhi.
