THE Tagore Memorial Grove and walking museum, one of the first in the United States to spread the message of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s borderless world, has been inaugurated here in Texas. Tagore Grove, a free and open-air, permanent memorial of the poet’s words and thoughts, depicting his message of love, universalism and a borderless world, was inaugurated on Sunday at the Ray Miller Park in Houston. The programme was held in the presence of the enthusiastic diaspora, complete with Vedic chants, presentation and recitation of Tagore’s musical compositions.

Several public officials attended the unveiling, including the Consul General of India in Houston, Aseem Mahajan, Fort bend County Judge K P George, and Fort bend Commissioner Andy Myers. The memorial is a collaboration between the Tagore Society of Houston (TSH) and the City of Houston Parks Department.
