Rabindranath in Selaidah

Debendranath started for Selaidah by boat on 6 Dec 1875. this time he took Rabindranath with him. Rabindranath wrote on a different account,
" Once I went by boat through the Ganges and I found a Gitagovinda published by extreme old Ford William." This was the first time Rabindranath went to Selaidah and he did not stay here for long time. While staying here, Rabindranath joined a programme which he described in Tattwabodhini Magh issue, titled "Kasyachit Darsakasya". After a few days Rabindranath came back to Calcutta [22 Dec],
In this  year Rabindranath  again went to Selaidah on 16 th feb 1876. Rabindranath described this journey in Jibansmriti.
First time Rabindranath went to Selaidah with his father. But as because he did not stay for long time, it was not possible for him to be acquainted with the place.
This time Rabindranath stayed in Selaidahfor more than a month.
Rabindranath wrote a poem "Prakritir Khed" which he read out in the 2nd session of "Bidwajjana Samagama". The size of the poem as it was read , was different from that published.
Rabindranath wrote patriotic poem this time. But this poem follows in the line of Bharat Bilap written by Hemchandra.
Rabindranath wrote a song for Sarojini written by Jyotirindranath.
"jwal jwal chita dwigun dwigun".
Thus he completed his foundation of his talent within 15 years of age.
