"In a large forest the trees shed their dry leaves one by one in profusion thus making the soil underneath fertile. In a country where there is continuous research in science, knowledge of it in fragmentary bits is being spread constantly. This is how one's heart's soil is quickened, becoming fertile with an alive feeling in science.It is the loss of it that has left our mind unscientific . We feel the impoverishment not only in our education , but also in the field of our occupation where we are bowed with frustration." wrote Rabindranath Tagore titled "Our Universe". Rabindranath gave up the responsibility of editing "Bharati" and became free for tme being as he had done in the cases of "Balaka' and "Sadhana". Rabindranath invited Jagadish Chandra Bose to come to Shilaidah. Jagadish Chandra went to Shilaidah sometime in April, 1899. Jagadish Chandra brought a few seeds from Shilaidah, just for curiosity's sake. After coming back home Jagadish Chandra wrote to Rabindranath that butterfly did not come out. He agian went to Shilaidah on 10 March 1900. He came back and wrote to Rabindranath that it was full moon when he returned home and asked Rabindranath to send him his written short stories.
Patrick Geddes wrote that once on receiving an invitation from the poet to stay with him at his house at Shilaidah on the river Padma, Bose accepted it with the demand of the fullest and highest hospitality his friend could render him - that of a new story to be written every day and read to him every evening.
Jagadish Chandra had close relation with the children of Tagore.
Rabindranath was younger to Jagadish Chandra by 3 years but he felt pride for the affection he got from him.
Sangeet Samaj would stage 'Bisarjan' at the reception of Maharaja of Tripura on16 Dec 1901. Rabindranath received a letter written by Jagadish Chandra dated 2nd Nov 1901 intimating him the progress of his research work in England. Rabindranath was much pleased to know the love and respect Jagadish Chandra possessed for the country. He also came to learn that it would have been better for Jagadish Chandra if he could stay some few days more there. Rabindranth arranged financial aid to Jagadish Chandra from Maharaja of Tripura.
