Gitanjali is a collection of 103 poems translated from the original Bengali collection by the author, Rabindranath Tagore.  The word gitanjali combines the words for “song” and “offering”, hence the subtitle “Song Offerings”.  The word “anjali” has a devotional connotation, which can be applied to the volume, which is sometimes called a “prayer offering of song”.

The original volume was published in 1910 and contained 157 poems. Tagore took extensive liberties in producing the 1912 English edition, omitting some, altering others, and combining still others.  The book included an introduction by the noted Irish poet William Butler Yeats and became famous in the west, which led Tagore becoming the first non-European author to win the Nobel Prize in 1913.
