Vivekananda and Rabindranth

Narendranath was fond of Rabindrasangeet specially Brahmasangeet. When he used to go to Brahmo Samaj he frequently sung Rabindrasangeet. In this context Acharya Kshitimohan Sen in his article, "Vivekanander Kanthe Rabindrasangeet" published in Anandabazar Puja issue in 1365 (vide page 141 of " Vivekananda O Rabindranath" by Prof.Jagadish Bhattacharya,  Agranthita Grantha, Centenary issue). He wrote, I was lucky to listen Rabindrasangeet sung by Vivekananda in Banaras. The song was, "Eki e sundara sova, kee mukho heri e " [ available in Puja section of Gitabitan ]. Kshitimohan also said, " At that time he was seen with his associates of   in the evening in the house of Jangeswar Teli.. I too visited there everyday, we were young at that time.".Kshitimohan also heard  other songs sung by him, amongst them were, 1. Mari lo Mari, amay banshite deekeche ke", 2. "Sakhi, , amari duare keno asilo nishi bhore yogi Bhikhari". Both of them are in the section "Prem" of Getabitan.Vivekananda liked to sing songs of Premparjay of Rabindranath.

Vivekananda was also fond of singing Brahmasangeet of Rabindranath, which is known to every body, such as, 1. " Satya Mangala premamaya Tumi Dhrubajyoti tumi Andhakare", 2. Maha singhasane basi sunicho he Bishwapati". These songs he used sing frequently.He did much like  the song, 'Tomarei kariachi jibaner dhrubatara,"
The songs written by  Rabindranath during his younger age  were sung many times by Vivekananda. Sri Ramakrishna used to be in trance listenning songs of Vivekananda.
Rabindranath  not  only moved in the same vehicle as Vivekananda did, to attain his goal, his poetic mind also counted  Vivekananda as a great worshipper.In his poem "Ratri" of Kalpana Kabya grantha Vivekananda was one among the 'worshippers ' mentioned in his poem,

" More karo Sabhakabi Dhyanamauna tomar Sabhay

He sarbari, he abagunthita."
