Abstract
Rabindranath Tagore enjoys extensive popularity in many Asian countries outside his native Bengal and India, and his rich legacy as a poet and proponent of global dialogue and confluence of cultures is celebrated in those countries. This includes Malaysia, Singapore, and China. Rabindranath visited these countries to experience their cultures first-hand and understand their potential to engage in a constructive network of global symphony. An extensive globetrotter, he visited over 30 countries worldwide, some of them multiple times, literally spending 10 years of his life on the road as a 'chiropathik' or wayfarer, with this grand vision for humanity, and went there with his soul infused with the filaments of compassion, creativity and unity to build the bridges he needed to connect the spheres.
