About the Book
Rabindranath O Manusher Dhormo is a profound Bengali non-fiction work that explores the evolution of Rabindranath Tagore’s spiritual and philosophical outlook. Born into a prominent Brahmo family, Tagore gradually moved beyond the boundaries of organized religion, developing his concept of “Manusher Dhormo” (Religion of Man), rooted in universal human truth.

The book examines how Tagore’s ideas on religion evolved over time through his writings, experiences, and exposure to diverse philosophical traditions. It explores his deep respect for Raja Rammohan Roy, his relationship and differences with his father Debendranath Tagore, and the influence of the Upanishads on his thinking.

Further, the work analyzes the impact of Indian epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, as well as Buddhist philosophy, Baul traditions, Sufi thought, and Bhakti movements on shaping Tagore’s humanistic vision. Through these influences, Tagore’s concept of religion transcends dogma and emphasizes unity, compassion, and universal consciousness.

Gautam Niyogi presents a detailed and scholarly exploration of Tagore’s mind, creativity, and ideals, making this book an essential read for those interested in philosophy, religion, history, and Bengali intellectual thought.
