This lecture will treat in detail Rabindranath Tagore’s first visit to Germany in 1921 and throw light on the effect his message had on exponents of the German-speaking intellectual world. The intellectual climate of the period between the two World Wars that formed the context for Tagore's impact will also be discussed.
