Rabindranath is a theistic philosopher. According to him, the ultimate reality is the personal God having infinite qualities. Tagore describes God in the following way-“Whatever name may have been given to the divine reality, it has found its highest place in the history of our religion owing to its human character giving meaning to the idea of sin and sanctity and offering an eternal background to all the ideals of perfection which have their harmony in man's own nature.” (1949: 229) Tagore's conception of theistic God is related with the religion of man. He imagines God in two ways. First of all he believes that God is beyond the humanself and the entire universe. There is no conceivable attribute of God-mental or physical. Rabindranath says-“The positive aspect of the infinite is in 'avaitanm', in an absolute unity in which comprehension of multitude is not as in an outer receptacle but as in an inner perfection that permeates and exceeds its contents like the beauty in a lotus, which is ineffably more than all the constituents of the flower.” (Ibid: 69) The supreme God is beyond our reach and is unknown and unknowable.the research make an attempt to unearth idea of ‘god’ in Rabindrath Tagore.Keywords

The women characters in Tagore's novel seamlessly take up a pivotal role in framing his novels or short stories. The author has a talent of moulding and positioning his women characters in a narrative so much so that without these characters the larger narrative would just be a meaningless caricature. Considering Tagore's immense sense of advancement and love for his country, he takes into careful consideration on how he represents the women folk in all his works. Womanhood has been portrayed as an important entity present in an Indian society and he echoes his views of tradition and modernity through his women characters. This paper explores the number of women characters from his novel Gora, the complexity and the difference in personalities and values held by each women character. The role taken up by women in the nationalist propagandas, with respect to the independence movement which Tagore felt a strong attachment to, is closely analysed and presented through this study.Keywords
