Andhra University in Visakhapatnam, India, is on the verge of celebrating its 100th anniversary, prompting a reflection on its rich history. A key moment occurred in December 1933 when Bengali polymath Rabindranath Tagore, the first Asian Nobel laureate, delivered a three-day lecture series at the university. Invited by then vice-chancellor Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who later became the President of India, Tagore initially hesitated due to health concerns but ultimately accepted the invitation. The series, titled ‘Man’, delved into the themes of the 'Eternal Man' and humanity's quest for self-realization, leaving a lasting impact that resonates to this day. Dr. Ryo Takahashi, a Japanese professor, highlighted these lectures in his research, noting their significance in the philosophy of gerontology and human education. The visit underscored the philosophical bond between Tagore and Radhakrishnan, who had previously engaged with Tagore's work in his book, ‘The Philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore’. Their collaboration represents a profound intersection of modern Indian thought and continues to inspire scholarly discourse.
