No better words to describe the wisdom and agony ....
24 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
I have had and preserved this book for over 10 years- read it many times. The book has a collection of poems written by Gitanjali (a sweet girl who died of cancer in her early age) which describe her wisdom, agony and courage to face the cruel death. Her poems were discovered after her sad demise and are full of her sensitivity towards the sufferings of human beings, appreciation for nature and our spiritual connection with God- a must read for every God fearing person.
I sincerely wish that such books should be reprinted (in the form of low cost international edition) and the income from such books should be used for some noble cause. I am surprised why this book did not hit the list of best sellers...
My be amazon.com can communicate this message to the world with their popular web site and can help promote such literature for some noble causes in the world which is full of miseries in all forms.

Poetic mastery
13 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
Gitanjali, the author of this collection of poems never revealed her writings to public view. It was only after her death at the age of 18 that these peoms were "discovered". Close friends and relatives knew about her poetic soft nature but never came to know that she actually was writing poems.These poems stunned entire literary world and everyone who reads this book will agree that nature has taken away from our midst what could have become a legendary poet.

heart touching tender and loving
18 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
This book is written by a very young girl named after the nobel winning legendary book gitanjali by ravindranath tagore. She wrote this entire poetry on her death bed and all the poems were discovered only after her untimely death at the age of 18. Though young and inexperienced, these poems show a high degree of maturity and poetic mastery. Read this collection and you will agree with me that fate had taken away a great poet and more than that a great soul too early from our midst.
