Full of dumb weeping with no tears to ease To-day my heart is mad for thee, O soul; I have sought thee within thy million waves And wherever the sound of thy song resounds In the wonderous light and shades which to thee belong, I have sought thee every night and every day! O my friend Eternal; unknown to me my friend! O pilot of my soul! Take me away to-day, O take me thither Where thou art shoreless indeed! In order to spread the Vaishnava culture and to give a healthy tone to modern Bengali literature, Chitta Ranjan started a new Bengali monthly the Narayana which secured for its contributors some of the highest litterateurs of Bengal. In recognition of his literary services the Literary Conference of Bengal which had its annual session at Bankipore in 1915 elected him to be the President of the Literary section where he read a paper on the lyrics of Bengal. Next year he was elected the chairman of the Reception committee of the Literary Conference in its annual session at Dacca. In the Narayana he wrote many articles on the nature of Bengali poetry which show his intimate acquaintance with the Vaishnava literature. It is necessary to mention here that Chitta Ranjan's whole life is influenced by the ennobling ideal of the Vaishnava poets; even his patriotism and love of country are to a great extent modelled on that ideal. To understand Chitta Ranjan one must know his poetry and to understand his poetry one must be acquainted with the Vaishnava Culture of Bengal. CHAPTER IV. Chitta Ranjan in his private life.
