In this episode, Dr. Pratima Majumdar talks about self-realization through various events and teachings from Rabindranath Tagore's life. These episodes hold a mirror in front of us and make us think about who are we, what we stand for, and what should we do next. Let us usher in 2021 with these thoughts and seek gurudev's blessings to become better human beings and treat everyone like humans. This is the final episode by Dr. Pratima Majumdar and there will be no further updates to this podcast. Dr. Majumdar (lovingly known to her students as 'PM aunty') passed away on 7 Nov 2020. May her soul rest in peace.

We are living through very tough times. Everyone is going through immense pain, sorrow and sufferings. Rabindranath Tagore, the eternal optimist, gave us a path to follow. In this episode, I talk about that path and how we can try to follow his teachings.

Here Dr. Majumdar narrates interesting incidents from Rabindranath's life. This episode will have multiple segments. These segments will be added gradually to this same episode over the next few weeks. Enjoy!
