"amar mukti aloy aloy" by Keya Chatterjee
Posted by: Supe2U
Video duration: 239 seconds
This song is from Tagore's Puja (prayer) chapter of Gitabitan and focuses on the what, where, and hows of attaining salvation. In fairness to Tagore's belief in an unitarian faith, I have blended images of Siva and Christ in an attempt to show the concept of "self sacrifice".

The Parting (aji je rajani jai)
Posted by: Supe2U
Video duration: 457 seconds
This is a doleful song composed by Tagore at the parting of someone dear. Who? Who else? Your guess is as good as mine.
The song is sung in the "tappaa", a classical tremolo style of vocal music which was imported by 19th century Bengal by Nidhu Babu from Punjab.
