It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
it mingles in the rhapsodies of the pure waters of Yamuna and the Ganges.
They chant only thy name.
They seek only thy auspicious blessings.
They sing only the glory of thy victory.
The salvation of all people waits in thy hands,

Victory to thee, Victory to thee,

"The First Sorrow", a poem by Rabindranath Tagore
This poem is Tagore's reminiscence on the demise of Kadambari Devi who was the young and much neglected wife of Jyotirindranath Tagore, one of Rabindranath's elder brothers. It is understandable why she had taken a fancy on the young Rabindranath.
He called her Hekati, patterned after Hecete, the Greek goddess. Ergo, she was his constant companion for 17 "swift years", his muse, and after his mother's demise, even his "mother figure". But why Hecate and why not any other Greek goddess? Perhaps here lies an answer to the perpetual Kadambari-Rabindranath enigma.
There was a form of duality in the ancient Greek's worship of this deity. In one of her roles, Hecate had the prowess to give wealth and passion (often being served by mortal eunuchs). In the other role Hecate was associated with witchcraft and the more baser things associated with sexual sensations. Recall also that ever since the age of 12 (when he had stolen a copy of highly erotic Vaishnava manuscripts from an elder brother's desk), Rabindranath was hooked into the "rashleela" cult of Radha and Krishna! Ergo, was Kadambari (aka Hekati) then that female deity who needed to be serviced by a self-efacing eunuch as a form of expressing ones total devotion, or was she the Radha of his passions and his altruistic lover?
On December of 1883 at the age of 22 Tagore decided to marry a girl of 11, whom he renamed Mrinalini. Just 4 months into his marriage, Kadambari decided to take her own life, just like in the mythology wherein Hecate commited suicide on account of the scorns and insults given by Artemis, another goddess. It is unlikely the reason behind Kadambari's suicide was to "get even" with the 11 year old wife of her erstwhile companion. Perhaps the rash-leela had really happened and she had suddenly discovered that she was carrying his child? We hope this poem and the metaphors used in it can shed some light on the age old enigma.
Tagore's original poem "Pratham Shok" was published in 1919, written in Bengali. This was some 36 years after the demise of Kadambari. Perhaps there was a sense of guilt and remorse brooding within Tagore for all these years. Later on, when he translated the same poem to English, he intentionally left out the "rain bearing" metaphors which he had used in his Bengali original. Why? Was it done to protect his self-created image of a "mystic poet" in the Western world?
In my own translation of this poem, I have tried not to stray too much from the original Bengali one. I shall also end this note with a key hint for the Western viewer: in the Bengali culture the concept of love can take 3 different forms, whereas in the West love is generally considered either as platonic or as one, akin to lust.

1 My Indian Heroes Nobel Laureate Poet Rabindranath Thakur
http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1913/tagore-bio.html
Rabindranath Tagore was born in Calcutta, India into a wealthy Brahmin family. After a brief stay in England (1878) to attempt to study law, he returned to India, and instead pursued a career as a writer, playwright, songwriter, poet, philosopher and educator. During the first 51 years of his life he achieved some success in the Calcutta area of India where he was born and raised with his many stories, songs and plays. His short stories were published monthly in a friend's magazine and he even played the lead role in a few of the public performances of his plays. Otherwise, he was little known outside of the Calcutta area, and not known at all outside of India.
This all suddenly changed in 1912. He then returned to England for the first time since his failed attempt at law school as a teenager. Now a man of 51, his was accompanied by his son. On the way over to England he began translating, for the first time, his latest selections of poems, Gitanjali, into English. Almost all of his work prior to that time had been written in his native tongue of Bengali. He decided to do this just to have something to do, with no expectation at all that his first time translation efforts would be any good. He made the handwritten translations in a little notebook he carried around with him and worked on during the long sea voyage from India. Upon arrival, his son left his father's brief case with this notebook in the London subway. Fortunately, an honest person turned in the briefcase and it was recovered the next day. Tagore's one friend in England, a famous artist he had met in India, Rothenstein, learned of the translation, and asked to see it. Reluctantly, with much persuasion, Tagore let him have the notebook. The painter could not believe his eyes. The poems were incredible. He called his friend, W.B. Yeats, and finally talked Yeats into looking at the hand scrawled notebook.
The rest, as they say, is history. Yeats was enthralled. He later wrote the introduction to Gitanjali when it was published in September 1912 in a limited edition by the India Society in London. Thereafter, both the poetry and the man were an instant sensation, first in London literary circles, and soon thereafter in the entire world. His spiritual presence was awesome. His words evoked great beauty. Nobody had ever read anything like it. A glimpse of the mysticism and sentimental beauty of Indian culture were revealed to the West for the first time. Less than a year later, in 1913, Rabindranath received the Nobel Prize for literature. He was the first non-westerner to be so honored. Overnight he was famous and began world lecture tours promoting inter-cultural harmony and understanding. In 1915 he was knighted by the British King George V. When not traveling he remained at his family home outside of Calcutta, where he remained very active as a literary, spiritual and social-political force.
In 1919, following the Amritsar massacre of 400 Indian demonstrators by British troops, Sir Tagore renounced his Knighthood. Although a good friend of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, most of the time Tagore stayed out of politics. He was opposed to nationalism and miltiarism as a matter of principle, and instead promoted spiritual values and the creation of a new world culture founded in multi-culturalism, diversity and tolerance. He served as a spiritual and creative beacon to his countrymen, and indeed, the whole world. He used the funds from his writing and lecturing to expand upon the school he had founded in 1901 now known as Visva Bharati . The alternative to the poor system of education imposed by the British, combined the best of traditional Hindu education with Western ideals. Tagore's multi-cultural educational efforts were an inspiration to many, including his friend, Count Hermann Keyserling of Estonia. Count Keyserling founded his own school in 1920 patterned upon Tagore's school, and the ancient universities which existed in Northern India under Buddhist rule over 2,000 years ago under the name School of Wisdom. Rabindranath Tagore led the opening program of the School of Wisdom in 1920, and participated in several of its programs thereafter.
Rabindranath Tagore's creative output tells you a lot about this renaissance man. The variety, quality and quantity are unbelievable. As a writer, Tagore primarily worked in Bengali, but after his success with Gitanjali, he translated many of his other works into English. He wrote over one thousand poems; eight volumes of short stories; almost two dozen plays and play-lets; eight novels; and many books and essays on philosophy, religion, education and social topics. Aside from words and drama, his other great love was music, Bengali style. He composed more than two thousand songs, both the music and lyrics. Two of them became the national anthems of India and Bangladesh.Dr Anand anandjee
