Abstract
Rabindranath Tagore's spiritual and literary evolution signifies a crucial juncture in the modern history of Indian thought. This paper attempts to examine the revival of Vaiṣṇavism within Tagore’s work with special importance to his lyrics, tracing its trajectory from the adolescent pastiches of medieval padāvalī poetry in Bhanusingha Thakurer Padabali to the universalized theism of Gitanjali and the foundational principles of his “Religion of Man”. By situating Tagore’s work within the historical context of nineteenth-century Bengal this study explores how Tagore reanimated the core tenets of Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavism. The paper also investigates Tagore’s engagement with the Baul heritage, his development of the Jīvan Devatā concept, and his modernization of kīrtana aesthetics influenced by 18th-century musical scholarship. The results reveal that Tagore brought Vaiṣṇava humanism back to life as a method for people to be spiritually free and socially acceptable.
