TAGORE AND HIS BELIEF

I am speaking of that time, when Tagore had not became Rabindranath. Generally people near him used to call him 'Rabibabu' off course Gandhi called him 'Gurudev'. Western countries called him 'Tagore', Rabibabu used to believe that he was only the great poet 'Kalidas' in his previous incarnation.His passion for Kalidas has been noticed in many of his creations To name one or two: 

" Ami Jodi Joumo nitem 

 kalidaser kalle

Hotem jodi ekti ratna

nabaratner vale...."

There is another more prominent :

" Doore, Bohu doore Ujjainipure

 Shipranaditire   

Khujite gechinu mor 

pratham janmer priyare......" 

Again in last part of the same poem it is more significant :

"......Dhire dhire neme elo mor Malabika......."

As we all know Kalidas's wifes name was Malabika,Rabibabu used the name in the above named poem as per his own belief.
