Message issued by Gandhiji on death
of Rabindranath Tagore
17th
instant is Shraddha day of Gurudev. Those who attach religious
significance to Shraddha ceremony will no doubt fast for the day by abstaining
from food altogether or confining themselves only to fruits and devote
themselves to prayer. The prayer may be individual or congregational. Every
city and every village which has partaken of Gurudev’s uplifting message
delivered through his writings and lived in his life will meet at an hour best
suited to them and contemplate the whole life and dedicate themselves for the
country’s service. Gurudev stood for peace and goodwill. He knew no communal barriers.
I therefore hope that all sections will join together in observing the solemn
day and promote communal harmony.
