Inculcation of Spiritual Values among the Higher Secondary Level Students through Two Songs of Bhanusimha Thakurer Padabali

Abstract

Spiritual values are embedded ideals that support pupil's spiritual enlightenment. The present study is based on the inculcation of spiritual values among the higher secondary level students through two songs of Bhanusimha Thakurer Padabali. Without spiritual development, and more especially without the fostering of intellectual ideals, pupil's overall development is not complete. The values of calm, togetherness, and knowledge are necessary for spiritual enlightenment but are not sufficient in them. Rabindranath Tagore’s songs are divided into many parts. One of them is ‘Bhanusimha Thakurer Padabali’, in which Tagore shows the pureness of love by Radha and Krishna through the songs. There are all total 22 songs included in this list and the songs are in an order as Tagore sorted them.  Out of which, the researcher has taken only two songs to see the inculcation of spiritual value among the students, i.e. “Gohon kushumokunjo-majhe” and “Madhabo, na koho aadarabani” (8th & 15th number song respectively). As a sample, the investigator has taken 30 students from Halisahar Ramprasad Vidyapith High School. Here, in this study quantitative analysis (Spearman’s co-efficient of correlation) is used.
