At the age of 7/8
"My age did not exceed 7/8 . One day one of my nephew Sreejukta Jyotiprakash [ Jyotiprakash Gangopadhyay (1855-1959) , son of Ganendranath's elder sister and her husband, Jajneshprakas Gangopadhyay.), a few years older than me, called me in his room and said 'you have to write poems. I donot know why he inspired a child like me to write poems. "
Rabindranath wrote in "Chelebela", "I remember that I wrote once a poem in 'tripadi, payar' and
I expressed my sorrow, if one tries to pluck lotus while swimming, lotus will move as one proceeds.'""At first Rabindranath wrote poems on lotus, these are the 'ADI KABITA' of Tagore.
Rabitalent was also expressed in songs, lyrics, and set to music.
This was the beginning of his creativity.
Rabindranath's creativity is also dependent on music. Rabindranath said in his 1st Pandulipi, "We were brought up in the atmosphere of Music.I could not remember the time I was not able to sing."
Rabindranath was trained in music by four music teachers.
1. Dilip Kumar Mukhopadhyay, 1st music teacher,
2. Bishnu Chandra Chakraborty, 3. Seekanthya Singh, and 4. Jadu Bhatta.
23rd Jan 1870 40th anniversary of Adi Brahmmosamaj was held when Devendranath was at Banaras on the way to Himalayas. In Kartik issue of Tattwabodhini , five songs were published as the supplement to the magazine . 1. 'Tumi bina ke pravu sangkata nibare', 2. 'he karunakara dinasakha tumi', 3. 'darasana dao he kaatare', 4. 'Kata je karuna tomar bhuliba na e jibane' and 5.'Kara taar nam gan.' - These five Brahmma sangeet were written on the occasion.. The last one was written by Dwijendranath and the othession r four songs were written by Satyendranath. The musical notations were written by Dwijendranath. These songs were sung in the maghotsab this year. Rabindranath possessing sweet voice was not left to join.
At the age of 10
The qualities of Rabindranath was gradually developing in various ways which we got from different sources.Debendranath on 31 Dec 1871 from Amritsar wrote to the famous leader of Brahmmo Samaj, Bacharam Chattopadhyay, "I became glad to learn that Rabindra etc joined as devotee." It is learnt from that letter , Rabindranath joined as a singer in the 18th yearly session of Behala Brahmmo Samaj.
On another occasion Rabindranath took part as a singer which was mentioned in National Paper, " The evening service commenced at 8 P.M. with the chanting of a beautiful hymn by little children."
The picture we got of the formal education so far undergone by Rabindranath was really disappointing.But his study in different sphere portraited the introduction of his future life as a writer/ He wrote ,"In my childhood the size of the Bengali literature was thin. Still he finished all the books he got".The list of his study materials was very big
On 6th Feb 1873, Somendranath, Rabindranath and Satyaprasad got their sacred thread. Rabindranath being unable to attend firing i school with bare head, accompanied Devendranath to go to Himalayas.They stopped stopped at Bolpur Santiniketan on 4th Falgoon 1279. Here Rabindranath was taking lesson in English and Sanskrit from his father and getting leisure through out the day. In this open atmosphere the power of writing poems of Rabindranath was gradually increasing.
In the mean time he finished writing poems in Blue Khata and started writing in Letts' Diary. .In the
atmosphere of Patriotism in Jorasanko Thakur bari the story heroism of Hindu king Prithwiraj left a scar in the minds of Rabindranath.In this context the novel, Dipanirban depicting the tragedy of the story of Prithwiraj against Muhammad Ghori touched the minds of Rabindranath.Mar 1873 rabindranath wrote a novel titled Prithwirajer Parajay. It can be mentioned that Rudrachanda of Rabindranath bears the resemblance of Prithwirajer Parajay This novel was written in Letts'Diary This is the first novel Written by Rabindranath at the age of 12. Before writing his creativity in Malati Punthi Rabindranath used to write in Letts'Diary.
Rabindranath started writing his works in three manuscript. 1.Blue Khata, 2. Letts'Diary and 3. Malati Punthi one after another. In this hard bound Letts' diary Rabindranath wrote his first poem "Avilash" and Hindumelar Upahar.
Creativity of Rabindranath includes organising ability.He organised along with Jyotirindranath Saraswat Samaj in 1289. 4 th April 1874 in the presence of 100 persons Bidwajana Samagama was formed. These organisations are the basis of Bangiya Sahitya Sabha. The pioneer thinker of this concept was John Beams.
