Ratnakar
 
Ratnakar is the saga of a Journey. Within the outlaw Ratnakar, the sage Rishvasringha is able to invoke a spark of contemplation, asking him to interrogate - to question everything around him, which would be the only way to understand himself and his surroundings. Seeking answer to these questions, transforms Ratanakar to Valmiki. Taking upon himself the task of mitigating the hardship of the tribals living in the forest, Ratnakar renounces violence and takes the path of love to contemplate about everything. Forsaking the worship of Shakti or might, it takes up the worship of Sharada or Learning. In Gurudev Rabindranath's "Valmiki Prativa", Ratnakar transforms to Valmiki in this way.

In today's India it has become necessary to show our forest dwellers that the path of peace is the only way towards self aggrandisement. Revoking the way shown by Gurudev Rabindranath we too hope to take the path of peace. We must understand Modernity through tradition, venerate Gurudev through a flower picked from his own bouquet.
