Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali played a pivotal role in introducing Indian spirituality and literature to Western audiences in the early 20th century. This article explores the cultural, literary, and spiritual influence Gitanjali had on Western literature, focusing on its reception among Modernist writers like W.B. Yeats and its broader impact on Western intellectual thought. By examining the context of Gitanjali’s translation and its spiritual message, the article highlights how Tagore’s work resonated with Western readers disillusioned by industrialization and materialism. Furthermore, it delves into the significance of Tagore’s Nobel Prize win in 1913, which marked a turning point in the recognition of non-Western literature globally. The article concludes by evaluating Gitanjali’s lasting influence on Western art, music, and education, showing its role as a cultural bridge between East and West.
