"The Religion of Man" (1931) is a compilation of lectures by Rabindranath Tagore, edited by Tagore and drawn largely from his Hibbert Lectures given at Oxford University in May 1930. A Brahmo playwright and poet of global renown, Tagore deals with the universal themes of God, divine experience, illumination, and spirituality. A brief conversation between him and Albert Einstein, "Note on the Nature of Reality", is included as an appendix. "Rich in profound thought and poetic speech...he has never written anything so penetrating and illumination on the nature of things... Tagore has seen visions, and he can paint them for us with a compelling charm due to utter simplicity and fidelity. But he has not stopped there. His reason hs entered into truth by the doors which his intuition has opened...A treasure-store of truth, beauty and wisdom." -New ChronicleContentsPrefaceI. Man's UniverseII. The Creative SpiritIII.

Wer kennt noch Rabindranath Tagore, Nobelpreisträger und Indiens vielleicht berühmtester Dichter im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert? Wer weiß, dass dieser auf dem ganzen Globus gefeierte Dichter, einer der schärfsten und wortgewaltigsten Kritiker nicht nur der britischen Kolonial-Besatzer seines Landes war? In den drei Kapiteln dieses 1917 veröffentlichtenBuchs lässt Tagore nicht ein gutes Haar an den Lügen und falschen Versprechungen, mit denen sich westlichePolitik bis heute - in der Verkleidung materieller Segnungen - als alternativloses Modell für den Erdball feiert. Pankaj Mishra, Tagores Landsmann und einer der wichtigsten Kritiker des neoliberalen Imperialismus, beschreibt in seiner Einleitung, warum Tagores Philippika nichts von ihrer Aktualität und Berechtigung eingebüßt hat.

Spricht man im indischen Bengalen von »dem Dichter«, so ist damit Rabindranath Tagore gemeint, der erste nichteuropäische Träger des Literaturnobelpreises. Martin Kämpchen, der in Indien lebt und arbeitet, hat sein Werk aus dem Bengalischen ins Deutsche übersetzt. Am Ufer der Stille bildet eine Auswahl von Tagores religiöser und schöpfungsbezogener Poesie. Das Erbe indischer Spiritualität findet sich in seinen Texten ebenso wie seine seit Kindertagen wache Sehnsucht nach Freiheit. Mit einem Essay zu Leben und Wirken Tagores.
