Rabindranath crossed the Baltic Sea and arrived at the central Europe. When he left bengal he remained silence for about four months.He began to creat songs after crossing the Baltic sea. He wrote songs again. But the song could have been written in Shantiniketan or on the bank of Ganges. For this he did not have needed any foreign situation.
He went to Hamburg, Berlin, Munick, Nyurbarg, Stut Guard, Draceldroff and so many places.He was delivering lectures in all places and meeting several important personalities. At the same time he was writing songs as well. What pleasure and transparency the poet had got even at the period when his son was ill in a nursing home at Berlin. he had undergone a difficult operation without informing any of his relative. Rabindranath visited the nursing home and saw Rathindranath recovering from illness. He started for Czechoslovakia and halted at the capital, Prague of Czechoslovakia for five days. There he was accompanied by Winternitz and Prof. Lessley who at a time acted as a lecturer in Shantiniketan.
