Creativity of Rabindranath (1897-98)

Last poem of Chaitali ended on 29 July. After that Rabindranath wrote many songs and created "Baikunther Khata" , a comic drama.In 1302 while staying in Silaidah  and even in the month of Kartik while at Calcutta , he wrote  songs based on Nature-Love-Devotion etc.But in Shraban1303 the songs he wrote are of different types. Rabindranath became charmed with the Hindi songs sung by Radhika Prasad Goswami, the famous salaried singer of Brahmo Samaj , but his heart could not follow   the source of the tune . Later on he put the words in the tune of the songs in the next Maghotsab and created Brahmma Sangeet. Baikunther Khata was also created mainly at the urge of "Khamkheyali Sabha. The story Kuhelika [durasha] was read at the first session of this Sabha.
Rabindranath began writing poems again from 27 April 1897.
A manuscript containing poems and songs came in the hands of Jatindramohan, Editor of Manasi. Two songs of Rabindranath were published in Manasi. 1. Mama yaubana nikunje gahe pakhi, 2. Tumi naba naba rupe eso prane.

In the next page of the manuscript there is manuscript of Snehasmriti poem. Poems of Kalpana started from the next. There are 13 poems . 1. swargapathe [dusamay], 2. Barshamangal, Chaitraranjani,3. Chaurpanchashika etc.`
The stay in Santiniketan was fruitful this time.from 7 Jaishtha to 14 Jaishtha , in eight days he wrote eight poems. Some among them are jewels in the literature of Rabindranath'
