Creativity of Rabindranath (1888-89)

Rabindranath went to Gazipur to inaugurate Brahmma Upasana on 1st Baisakh 1888 and said , "we rested in the open sky on the night of 1st Baisakh of 1888.Resting on the ground we  looked to the stars spread in the sky.
Rabindranath invited Priya Nath Sen to come to Gazipur but he could not respond.
Rabindranath came to Gazipur at the beginning of Falgoon in the last month but he began writing poems from 11 Baishakh. The name of the poem is "Sunya Griha".
But home of Rabindranath was  not empty.His young pregnant wife, his child looking like a blossom belly fool,  and others were with him.. Rabindranath wrote,
Gavir bidirna pran nirab katar,
Rudra ashru bydiche pran,
Sneher pratima hara

Akash sankirna kara
Sammukhe utheche jena
Lauher kapath.
He lost his "natun bauthakurani" four years ago and his heart full of sorrows were expressed here.
Kadambari Debi was the main inspiration of the flow of Kabyas began from 11 Baishakh . The happy moments he had with his wife and child daughter became blurred which was expressed in "Patrer Pariksha",
'Tumi bhalo acho kina' 'ami bhalo achi'
Sneha jena naam deke   kache ese jay dekhe,
After a few days of writing these poems Rabindranath started for Kolkata and at the beginning of Jaishtha he returned to Gazipur with Indira Debi, Surendranath, and probably Sarada Debi. He began to write poems with different tunes.
Rabindranath was not reflected in the memoirs of Indira Debi.He was He was visible in the description of nephew Sarala Debi ,
" From my very childhood I used to sing songs, pick up songs where I  find.But I first found the God of songs when I saw Rabimama at Gazipur. Really songs are not like what I learnt earlier, it is not a mechanical one.   ........"
Rabindranath said, "I learnt to find tunes of songs earlier , but I learnt to see its picture at Gazipur."
Rabindranath wrote 15 poems at Gazipur.
The poem "bela je chale galo, jalke chal" was thoroughly edited when he was at  Santiniketan five months later.
