Christmas Message
Jesus Christ in the eyes of Tagore
Father J. Felix Raj, SJ
During this Christmas season I want to reflect upon Jesus Christ in the eyes of Rabindranath Tagore.Jesus and Tagore have many things in common. They were great spiritual leaders and teachers of their time and continue to be. They have had significant impact on people and the world. Tagore was also sometimes compared in the West to Jesus in his manner and appearance.
They had similar visions, similar ideas and teachings. There are volumes of publications associated with them. The two great books that have made them what they are today are the New Testament (Bible) and Gitanjali respectively. Tagore has written a considerable amount on Jesus Christ and has made numerous references in his speeches and writings to Christ and also to Christianity. Read More
