The most of Tagore’s ideas expressed in his books and usual writings that draw attention by the Tagore’s scholars, a layman/woman cannot connect easily. The letters focused in this article are written in a simple language, though personal, rooted in daily experiences of Tagore himself—he shares in a very simple and lucid language. Often, the charges against Tagore’s philosophy are made that he is too idealistic and beyond realization. The paper attempts to argue based on these letters that his ideas are not that idealistic and are deeply rooted in the daily life of human beings and can be realized. Tagore’s concern is to find out the basis of the religion that unites human beings, and he is searching for it in the truth of man’s nature. Tagore realizes that teaching of religion can never be imparted in the form of lessons, but he finds it in the living personality of man. This article is trying to concentrate on the letters Tagore had written to Indira Devi and Hemantabala Devi, expressing his religious thinking. The eagerness to realize the unity of the soul of man and universe with the Universal Man expressed the letters to Indira Devi. The criticism towards the blind faiths of Hinduism and image worship focuses on the letters to Hemantabala Devi. Many essential documents are expressing the religious thinking of Tagore, but these letters are the purest expressions of him and reflect a live image of Tagore’s mind.

泰戈尔关于宗教意识的研究：基于写给英迪拉·德维（Indira Devi）和希曼塔巴拉·德维（Hemantabala Devi）的信件的研究

泰戈尔的著作和平凡著作中所表达的大部分泰戈尔思想引起了泰戈尔学者的关注，一个外行/女性无法轻易地联系在一起。本文重点介绍的信件都是用一种简单的语言写成的，尽管是个人的，但植根于泰戈尔本人的日常经历中-他分享了一种非常简单明了的语言。通常，对泰戈尔哲学的指责是他太过理想化，无法实现。本文试图根据这些信件来论证他的思想不是那么理想主义，而是深深植根于人类的日常生活中并且可以实现。泰戈尔的关注点是找出使人类团结起来的宗教基础，而他则在人类天性的真理中寻找它。泰戈尔（Tagore）认识到，宗教教义永远不能以课程的形式传授，但是他在人类的活泼性格中找到了它。本文试图着重于泰戈尔写给英迪拉·德维和希曼塔巴拉·德维的信，表达他的宗教思想。渴望与普世人实现人与宇宙灵魂统一的渴望表达了对英迪拉·德维的信。对印度教和图像崇拜的盲目信仰的批评集中在写给Hemantabala Devi的信上。许多基本文件都表达了泰戈尔的宗教思想，但是这些信件是他的最纯粹的表达，反映了泰戈尔思想的真实形象。渴望与普世人实现人与宇宙灵魂统一的渴望表达了对英迪拉·德维的信。对印度教和图像崇拜的盲目信仰的批评集中在写给Hemantabala Devi的信上。许多基本文件都表达了泰戈尔的宗教思想，但是这些信件是他的最纯粹的表达，反映了泰戈尔思想的真实形象。渴望与普世人实现人与宇宙灵魂统一的渴望表达了对英迪拉·德维的信。对印度教和图像崇拜的盲目信仰的批评集中在写给Hemantabala Devi的信上。许多基本文件都表达了泰戈尔的宗教思想，但是这些信件是他的最纯粹的表达，反映了泰戈尔思想的真实形象。
