This YouTube video, my latest, is about my first-ever trip to Bolpur and Shantiniketan in West Bengal. We saw the Santhal dancers, listened to the Baul singers, and visited the old home of Rabindranath Tagore.

"This is the story of a #Russian #Jewish woman who made her home in #Calcutta in the 1930s, and eventually in #Santiniketan, with her #Bengali husband and the family they founded together. It is a #memoir, with a preface and afterword by the #memoirist’s granddaughter #ChandanaDey, who traces the historical background of #Jews of the #RussianEmpire in the 19th and early 20th centuries and describes the kind of social milieu to which her grandmother had to adjust in her adopted country.

#KetakiSarkar was born #KotiaJonas (or Yonas, as the name was used by some branches of the family) to Russian Jewish parents in #Moscow in 1907. She was named “Ketaki” by #RabindranathTagore, and she held on to the name for the rest of her life, like the sari that became her all-time attire."

Rabindranath Tagore

Unser Selbst muss, um zu leben, durch einen ewigen Wechsel und ein Wachstum der Form gehen, das wir ein dauerndes Sterben und ein dauerndes Geboren werden, welches zu gleicher Zeit vor sich geht, nennen können. Wenn wir uns dem Tod widersetzen, so rufen wir ihn in Wirklichkeit herbei.

(LAG. Schöpferische Meditation, 225. Anm.63)
