Abstract

This article is based on the aesthetic emotion and expression of Rabindranath Tagore on the sublime beauty of Indian Music. Tagore has explored the eternal ‘rasa’ of Indian Music on the context of its purity which is the ultimate beauty of music as well as an Art. Endeavour of beauty in music depends on its expressiveness which leads us to the world of the Absolute where only the eternal Truth can sustain. Tagore’s aesthetic attitude made him to drink the nectar of the Indian Music. Tagorian concept on beauty creates a bridge between the Indian concept of aesthetic and the Western concept of aesthetic. Therefore the ‘Beautiful’ in Indian music as Tagorian aesthetics, is not just a melody with major and minor notes but is the best medium of expressiveness of an artistic soul.
